Student Success Statement

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

The statement compares someone without goals in life is like a ship without a rudder. The person won’t be able to function as properly compared to having goals that steer them in the right direction. The right goals make a person go in the right direction. Such as having a goal to become a doctor. You will have to study, get good grades, go to college maybe even medical school. That is the right way to head.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend I mostly stayed in and watched movies with my family. I had a volleyball tournament at El Camino College on Saturday. Although we only won ⅓ games, I still think we did good. It was our last tournament for club, so it was a kinda a special day. Although we would see each other on Tuesday for practice, for our actual season.  I didn’t meet anyone new I just spent Sunday with my family and Monday doing my homework. The movies my family and I watched were Get Out, Fantastic Beast and other I can’t remember the name too. I was kinda like family night.

Forgive

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”-Alan Paton

The statement explains that forgiveness is the first step to recover. If something tragic in your life happens and you feel as if someone’s to blame, you should try and forgive them. Not forgiving them will only lead you to bitterness. You will never feel satisfied with their consequence. For instance, your dog got lost because your sister was being careless and left the gate door open. You can always be angry at her for losing your dog that has been with you for years and was like family or you can forgive her. It’s better to be happy and talking to someone then having to hate them.

Student Success Statement

Do Right

“Dare to do right.”-Rex D. Pinegar

The statement want you to only take on dare’s that do the right thing. Such as if someone dares you to do all your homework for one week right after school. You must take on that dare because it’s a dare that makes you choose the right. Although if someone dares you to jump off a cliff that you know is dangerous. You shouldn’t do it because you are not being courageous if you jump off that cliff you are being reckless. You are just putting your life in danger.If you say no to the dare you are being more brave than actually accepting the dare because you are saying no to people and being at risk of being fun off. And that is what people are truly afraid of being made fun of.

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone.”-Thomas S. Monson

The statement is telling you to stand alone if necessary. If everyone around you is choosing the wrong don’t follow in their lead and you should do whats right. For instance, your best friend and let’s say your only friend decides to drink alcohol and starts to hang with the wrong crowd. You can feel her distancing from you and the only way for you to stop feeling that distance is to start drinking alcohol and hanging with her and the wrong crowd. You shouldn’t feel that you should do that at all just keep a friend. You shouldn’t be afraid to stand alone. If you feel as if everyone is making the wrong choice then you shouldn’t go along with the choice others make just because everyone's making that choice and you think you should go along because everyone is going along. If you believe strongly it’s the right choice then you should not be afraid to stand alone.

Philip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

1.Work Hard.

2.Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing

3.Don’t chase after money.

4.Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

The statement explains what you must do to succeed. The first tip tells you to work hard. This tip is important because you can’t expect everything to come to you without you working hard. The second tip is to follow your passion. This is important because you can’t succeed in something you have no interest. You won’t wanna try your best/ The third is to not chase after money. Money can’t be the most important thing in the world for you. Happiness has to be and money can bring happiness. It can only bring luxuries but it can’t bring happiness. Do something that makes you happy not for the money. The last tip is to serve others. You must do good things for others. Karma will reach you, you do something good for someone. Someone will do something good for you.

Good Values

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."-Dennis Prager

The statement explains that the value is more important that money, love and happiness.It keeps a person to always choose the right. Although what keeps a person from choosing value is their feelings. Such as a lying. You lie because either you don't feel like telling the truth or you don't wanna hurt the other persons feeling. Although moral value keeps you from lying. Such as you know that lying is bad and if you follow your moral value than you will never lie.

The right thing 

"In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing."-Theodore Roosevelt 

 

The statement explains that the best and right thing to do is always choose the right. Even when the wrong decision seems tempting. For instance, a person in front of you may have dropped 5 dollars and not noticed. You have two choices to not tell them anything and keep the money or tell them they dropped their 5 dollars and give them their money. The right choice would be to tell them that they dropped their 5 dollars but the wrong choice may be tempting. Maybe it may seem to you that it isn't a lot of money and they can get 5 dollars somewhere else but just because it doesn't seem like a lot of money to you it isn't the right choice.
