Student Success Statements

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right" -Thomas S. Monson 

I personally agree with this statement by Thomas S. Monson. If you are doing the correct and right thing there is no way that you can be doing the wrong thing, because right is right, and wrong is wrong. An example of doing the right thing is finding something that does not belong to you and returning it. The wrong thing in this situation is keeping the item you found, and not returning it. We should always strive to do our best and to always do the right thing. You should achieve to do the right thing not because it leaves a good reputation for you, but because you know that it is the right thing to do. In any situation no matter what we should always try our hardest to do the right thing in a situation. You should always remember that right is right and wrong is wrong there is no case in which it would be different or switch.

What we do today

Student Success Statement 
"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today" - James freeman Clarke 

The meaning of this statement is that one wrong decision can determine our whole life. We make decisison's every day , but before you make one think about it. An example of this is if one day you decide to steal, or shoot up a school thinking no one is going to find out it was you, you are wrong. At one point the truth always comes out , you can try to hide it as much as you want but it always comes out. Another example of this is the guy who decided to start a shooting at a movie theater. He got away with it for a while because it wasn't arrested right away. He thought he could get away with it but he didn't because people who were there said what they saw, because the truth always comes out. Always try to make the right decision you'll be proud that you did.

Student Success Statement

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly" -Otto Graham, JR.

The meaning of this statement is that before you do something thing before you do and ask yourself if it's the right thing to do. We don't often thing before we do we just do what we feel is 'easier to do'.  An example of this is if you find a wallet on the floor the first thing you should do isn't think about stealing the money. You should think about returning it to it;s rightful owner. You should look inside to see if there's an ID and if it looks like anyone around there if it doesn't turn it in somewhere like a police station or something. We often choose to do what's not right because it's the easier thing to do. We never actually think about doing the right, but you shouldn't decide to do the right thing just because people are looking and you wanna make a good impression. No matter what , people around or not you should choose to do the right thing. Before doing anything think about it and reflect on is it the right thing to do or is this a poor decision i am making. Choosing to do the right thing will get you far in life.
