Student Success Statement

Goodness 

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."-Henry David Thoreau 

 

The statement explains that giving your time to do something good just because it's good never backfires. You don’t expect anything back so you never feel bad. Instead you feel great because you did a good thing and helped someone or did something good. For example helping a friend who's in need even when they don't ask you too. You don't expect anything back but they will always be grateful. They may even help you out when you are in need. It's just like karma.

Student Success Statement #22

Shall be Wise

“He that walketh with wise man shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

The statement “ He that walketh with wise man shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” this explains that a person who hangs out with the wrong crowd will get into trouble. A person who hangs out with the right crowd will not get in trouble and might even succeed in life. If you have friends who do drugs, don’t go to school and get into a lot of trouble will end up getting you in trouble if you do those stuff or not. Hanging around those people will tempt you to do stuff you are not suppose to do which can get you arrested. Having bad influences can also not lead you to not graduating high school because if they decide to ditch most of the time and you go along with them will make you miss what you are learning in school. Or maybe they are distracting you in class while you are trying to learn. Although if you chose a group of friends who are scholar students they maybe what they do will encourage you to do better. Maybe they can help you study for a quiz or help you with your homework. Good influences almost never lead you into trouble.
