The Right Thing
Student Success Statement
"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."

                          -Theodore Roosevelt


Reflection: I think this quote means that you should always make the right choice or decision . For example, if someone tells you to ditch school, you should say no. That is the right thing to do. The next day, if someone tells you to try drugs, you should say no. If anyone ever tries to make you choose the wrong thing, just say no. Always choose whats right and do the right thing.

A right heart

Student Success Statement

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right hear exceeds all."

-Benjamin Franklin

Reflection: I think this quote means that being a good person is more important than having good things. For example, a 15 year old boy won a wrestling match for his dad so he can make him happy because of what he was going through. His dad was sick but he tried his best in helping him with anything. The boy didn't care about the award or anything but all he cared about was his dads happiness. The opponent of the boy also has a good heart because he went up to the dad and told him to stay strong. So, the only important thing is to be a good person with a good heart.

Student Success Statement

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly."

                     -Otto Graham, Jr.

Reflection: I think this quote means to think before you you do something. For example, don't do something that you think is right because it can end up being the wrong thing to do. Another example is that a homeless man found a ring in his cup where people give him money. He went to the jewelry store to see how much it was worth. It was worth $4,000. He thought about it and decided to keep it and wait for the lady to come back so he could give it back to her. 2 days later she came back and he gave it to her. He chose the right after all. She was so grateful that she started a fund for him so he can have some money. He also got in contact with some of his family members. His life turned out great after he decided to choose the right. 

Good quality people
Student Success Statement

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."
George Washington



Reflection: I think this quote means that if you hang out with CTW people, they will lead to to the wrong path. For example, if you have friends that do drugs or drink alcohol, they might try to convince or get you yo try it. Don't let them get you to do that and find better friends. Find people who are good people and they always choose the right. never let anyone of your friends get in the way of your future and get better friends that will help you get a future.

Student Success Statement

"Right is right only when entire."

Victor Hugo

Reflection: I think this quote means that you always have to do something right completely and not mostly. For example, when your taking a test, you need to do it all on your own without cheating. That is the right thing to do. Do not cheat on one question because that is automatically choosing the wrong. Another example is that do not tell partial truths. That is still lying so it's not right to do. Another example is that if you say you don't drink but you drink once at a party, that makes you a drinker. If your going to do something right, do it completely because if you do something wrong, even if its little, its still going to be wrong.

You will be taken care of

Student Success Statement

" If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of."

Rachel Castillo

Reflection: I think this quote means that if you do the right thing, you"ll have nothing to worry about in life and you will be living a good life. For example, if you don't steal or do drugs or any of those things, you will live a good life and you won't have any problems regarding those things. If you do one of those things, your life can get complicated and you won't live the right way. Another example is that Rachel found a lot of money and returned it to the owner of it. She didn't get a reward for doing that, but she's doing great, knowing that she did the right thing and not taking the money. If she took the money, the situation will eventually come back to her and ruin her life.

Student Success Statement

" What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

                                    -Albert Einstein 

Reflection: I think this quote means that not everything right that you do is not done by all the people. The things that you do that are wrong are what is usually being done by people. For example, drinking alcohol and doing drugs is bad, but mostly everyone does this. Helping out the homeless is a good thing to do, but not everyone does this and decides to do bad things.
