Student Success Statement

" In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are."

-Arnold H. Glasgow

                

Reflection: I think this quote means that you will achieve all of you goals if you know what those goals are. You need to know what you want for the future so you can get prepared for it. For example, if you want to become someone very important in this world, you need to find the career that interests you and get a job so you can achieve you goal. If you don't know what you want in life, your going to get nowhere. Getting no where will get you to nothing and then you will be living in regret for not setting any goals or anything.

Student Success Statement

" Only those live who do good."

Count Leo Tolstoy

Reflection: I think this quote means that people who always do the right thing, have a chance at happiness and living a good life. People who always do the wrong thing live with regret or don't live the life they always wanted to have because of their bad choices. For example, if someone finds a phone and returns in to their owner, they are going to live happily knowing that they did the right thing.

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.

Student Success Statement

A choice: Poverty or Prosperity

"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that (poverty).It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it."

               -Dr. Ben Carson

Reflection: I think quote means that you can accomplish anything by trying your best. For example, if you want something, you have to do what ever it takes to get it. Just as long as its the right thing to do, do it. Doing nothing isn't going to get you anywhere but to a life full of regret. So, if you want to be something important in life, you need to work hard to be able to get it.

Health Issue

Bath Salts

A health related issue is bath salts.

 Teens are using them as drugs. The bath salts are very powerful drugs. Using them only once, can cause death. People can sniff it, swallow it, smoke it, or inject it. The drugs can cause paranoia, suicidal thoughts, depression, stroke, etc.

 No one is doing anything about it because many people may not know about bath salts being drugs.

      

Reflection: This issue relates to me because i am a teen and i need to be aware of what things can become drugs and what they can do to you when you consume them. This also relates to me because i might have a friend who uses this as i drug and i may not know it. If i ever find out, i can tell them about the harmful effects.

Wrong is NEVER RIGHT

Student Success Statement

"Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT."

                                                       -Russell M nelson

Reflection: I think this quote means that even if any of your friends are always doing bad things, you shouldn't do them too. For example, if you see that everyone is cheating on a test, you shouldn't cheat. Cheating may get you a job, but once your there, your not going to know what to do. Cheating can also get you caught. Your teacher may not catch others, but she can catch you.

Never

Student Success Statement

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by dong right."

                         -Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I think this quote means that if you do something wrong, you cant say it was for a good cause. Choosing the wrong will always be bad and is never the right thing to do or choose. you cant be wrong by choosing the right means that if you do the right thing in any situation, it will always be a good thing. For example, if you steal from someone because you needed money for something important, it wrong. Yo are suppose to work for the money. Another example is that if you tell teachers that your friends are doing drugs, that a good thing. Your friends might be mad at you for telling, but it was the right decision because they can corrupt other people to do it or they can get harmed by it.
