Thomas Carlyle

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

                                             Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: A person that has goals can see him or her in a good position where he or she is heading for life like a boat with the rudder it can steer to any direction the person has to go. Without your goals you’ll be lost and won’t know how to move from where you’re at.

Reflection: There are 3 people that have had achieved their goal by setting their minds to it since they were little. 1. A guy who can do tricks with fire and balance it very well. 2. A bean shooter he shoots rocks at things with a sling shot since he was 10 because they wouldn’t let him use a gun to hunt for their food. 3. There are girls who can walk on top of an airplane they had set that goal when they first saw it on TV back in England. By seeing yourself accomplish that goal in the future can inspire you to keep on trying.

Reflection: This quote means that it’s better to play a clean game and loose rather than play dirty and win because after all you didn’t actually win or tried your best to win. It’s better to try something and be proud and have pride on what you did than to cheat.

Student Success Statement

Forgive

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

                                              Alan Paton

Reflection: I think this quote by Alan Paton means that if you forgive that memory of the wrong someone has caused you will fade away. If you forgive you let your bottled up emotions go. Then after you forgive you will lose the grudge you had towards someone.

Thomas S. Monson

Student Success Statement

Stand alone

“Dare to stand alone.”

                                    Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: If your friends are doing something wrong and ask you to be involved don’t do it because you’re not going to risk yourself just be with them or fit in. If you choose the wrong with them they’ll be in trouble and you too since you had decided to join what they were doing. It’s better to be alone and choose the right other than be with a bad group and get in trouble for something not worth it.
