Student Success Statement


"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."
                             -Sophocles

Reflection: I think this quote means to always be honest no matter what. For example, if you try hard on a test and you fail, its ok. At least you tried your best and you should be proud of that. If you cheat on a test and pass, its not being honorable because you cheated of someone else and you didn't try on your own.

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

Reflection: I think this quote means that having good goals and achieving them are a good thing and you will be successful. If you have bad goals and you try to achieve those, you will gain nothing. The only thing you will do is get yourself in trouble and lose certain privileges. For example, if someone has the goal to go to college, then that's a good goal. When they achieve it by doing the right thing, they will become successful. If someone tries to achieve their goal by doing the wrong thing, they will fail.

Good Values

Student Success Statement
"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

   -Dennis Prager




Reflection: I think this quote means that good values are very important. I think this because people always have good values over everything. For example, someone can be taking a test and they don't understand it. They can cheat and get A but they have a good value of not cheating. Another example is that someone wants to eat junk food but they cant because they have a good value of not eating unhealthy foods. People can break those good values but they don't because they are CTR people.

An internal phenomenon
Student Success Statement


"The reward for doing  right is mostly an internal phenomenon: Self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem."
