Student Success Statement

“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.

 "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.
