“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

A ship without a rudder will have no direction and wont go where it’s supposed to. Similar to a person without a goal, they won’t have any direction in life. They’ll end up lost and deserted.

Beautiful Character

 If there is beauty in character,

There will be harmony in the home.

   There will be order in the home,

There will be order in the nation.

    If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the world.

Conclusion:

If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world

-Chinese Proverb

If everyone in the world showed great character, the goodness will spread and lead a nation to peace, little by little. It begins with just one person that will pass the goodness onto their friends and family, who will pass it onto other members and eventually peace will rise and spread to the nation. Peace begins with good character.

The Six Pillars of Character

Trustworthiness: Be honest

Ex: Don’t cheat, deceive, or steal

Respect: Treat others with respect

Ex: Be considerate of others feelings 

Responsibility: Do what you’re supposed to do

Ex: Be self- disciplined

Fairness: Play by the rules

Ex: Take turns and share

 Caring: Be kind

Ex: Express gratitude

 Citizenship: Do your part

Ex: Follow the rules and laws

I believe the Six Pillars are a great way to keep people in order. They all describe traits to keep the peace and help others and the environment. Having these 6 traits is a sure way to help you stay in the 'Right' lane and be a good person.

Student Success Statement

 "I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

Sophocles

I think this quote should be look upon and analyzed by the youth so they can learn the term integrity. Most people these days don’t have integrity; they don’t care how they get to they become successful as long as they do. Someone without integrity has no respect for themselves. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day in which we remember those who have died in the service of the United States of America. It is celebrated on the 25th of May. It was originated during the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Some ways we can show honor and respect on Memorial Day is by saying thank you to all the people in the armed forces and being thankful to them and their families. Most people celebrate this holiday by going to parades, going to the people’s grave who risked their lives for us, and by having barbecues with the family. Something my family and I do on Memorial Day is give thanks to families who have a loved one at war and give our condolences for those who lost a love one because of war. 

Student Success Statement

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.”

Dan Dierdorf

I think that this statement is important because when you do the right thing you will succeed. But if you do the wrong thing then you won’t succeed because that gets you nowhere.

Student Success Statement

“Nothing is gained in doing what’s wrong.”

Wilford Woodruff

This quote has strong truth to it. I believe so because we don’t win anything by doing wrong. But we do loose respect, our dignity and trust of others. 

LAUSD: Families

       Some resources that LAUSD has for families is the Parent Advisory Committee, the District English Learner Advisory Committee, the ESC parent engagement, the parent and community resources, the Community Advisor Committee, the Parent Bill of Rights, and the school volunteer program.

·       I think these resources benefit us because our parents are being involved in our school or our district to try to help out and make the LAUSD district and the schools within this district better as well. Also they can be aware of anything that happens in the school or district.

·       I think my family and I will use all the resources we need when we need them. It is a good thing that LAUSD district has a parent Bill of Rights because that way our parents can know their right sand can fight for them.

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone.”

Thomas S. Monson

This quote is suggesting for you to make your own decisions. Lots of people tend to get influenced by others and will make their decisions based upon who’s around or their paranoia on what others my think of them. A strong minded person will do what they feel is right without letting others change or alter their choices. 

Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: supervise clinical and administrative affairs of nursing homes and related facilities

Salary: $90,175

Education: need at least a four-year bachelor's degree and will likely need to pass a state licensing examination

I would not like to be a nursing home administrator. I wouldn’t like to because this job is associated with people very close to death and I can’t handle that. 

Student Success Statement

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt 

 Teddy Roosevelt was known to be a wise man so his advice is probably best. In this quote he is saying the best thing to do is the right thing. 

Life Planning Progress

I have achieved 24 out of 106 of my goals. My progress hasn’t been that great because I set a lot of long term goals rather than things I can just do on a normal day. Although, the goals I have achieved were meaningful to me so im still pretty proud. I look forward to coming up with more goals and achieving them.

I would not like to be a medical surveillance technician. This job does not interest me at all. 

Do the Right Thing

In a game between Western Oregon and Central Washington, a senior named Sara hit her first home run, but when she forgot to touch first base she quickly turned and torn her ACL. She couldn't walk and her teammates weren’t allowed to help her. Neither she nor the team knew what to do. Until a girl named Mallory on the other team asked the umpire if she could carry her around to touch the plates. He said that would be okay and Mallory and her teammate Liz helped carry Sarah to home plate. These showed very good sportsmanship and they left the game aside to help another person even if it may have hurt their chances of winning. 

Student Success Statement

“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”

Pam Knox

This quote is relatable because it IS a great thing when someone chooses the right.  An example of this quote would be if a peer is getting bullied and instead of just witnessing you actually do something and speak up for him/her. 

Medical Illustrator

“A promise must never be broken”

Alexander Hamilton

I agree with this quote very much. Promises are important to me, I have never broke one. Most people find it shocking when I tell them that but it really isn’t all that hard; just don’t make promises you can’t keep. In my opinion keeping your promises shows that you’re a loyal and trustworthy person.
