"Right is right, even if anyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."

What this quote means to me is that if you think something is right and other people go against it and think it's wrong, it doesn't mean you're not right. For example school uniforms. Students can ask why they wear their school uniforms and they respond "because i have to" and other students could say "no you don't have to wear it." Ten out of many students will do the right thing while others go against it. Just because everyone is up for doing something that isn't right doesn't make it right. Wrong is wrong even if other people disagree. For example, if your group of friends are willing to drink alcohol and do drugs it doesn't make it right. It is obviously the wrong thing to do and i believe just because other people do it, it doesn't make it right.

" Dont sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often."

What this quote by Peter Vidmar means to me is that dont do what you want to do now instead of doing what you want most for you. For example, if you want to watch television but have homework then you should be smart enough to do your homework first instead. I think that because if you dont do your homework you get a bad grade, and you can always watch television but you cant go back to fix things sometimes. I learned that things that are more important should always get done first because then if you do something you want to do it wont get you anywhere.

Homecoming


  1. A homecoming is a highschool, college, or university game, dance, or another event that students are invited to.
  2. The history of homecoming comes from football games at colleges or universitys since the 19th century.
  3. We do homecoming at schools to encourage students to have school spirit and pride. 
  4. Activities related to homecoming: Banquets, Winte formal
  5. I think it is called the homecoming game because football players return victorious after a conquering tour, and the alumni return home to their school. 
  6. Homecoming ettquette is taken place every fall, all homecoming are semi-formal but of course some schools may have dress codes.



My opinion on homecoming is that its a very creative tradition. Homecoming football games are always more exciting than every other games throughout the season. The school dance is usually something fun because you get to be with your friends and stuff. Another reason is because more school spirit is shown when the football players are out on the feild.

"A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life." 

What this quote means to me is that your name says who you are and what you do. Your name says it all, whether youre good or bad person. For example, Coach K was a very good guy he had a good name because everywhere he went his name was known. He was inspirational and lots of people looked up to him. When having a good name to represent you then it means you are on the right track.

" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. "
             
           What this quote means to me is that just by the sound of a persons name you can visualize the type of person that they are. Whether they are good or bad you can always tell by the looks of it. For example when applying to a school the administrators can tell how you are just by your name or your looks. They can look at your transcripts and either decline or accept you due to the fact of the comments on them. You can tell by the way they are, Nice, Mean, Funny. Some people can look innocent yet be very guilty. Having a good name tells people how you are and how you behave. Having a bad name shows that you may most of the time be disbehaving and feeling guilty. Its always best to do good that way people see you as a good person.

"If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow." 

What this quote bny Thomas S. Monson means to me is that if your friends are trying to get yo to do something you shouldnt like let say drink then you must stand up for yourself and say you wont do it. If whats best is isolating yourself from them because they are bad influences then its best if you do. Choosing the right is always a good thing to do. Doing something bad wont get you anywhere so its good to always try and make the right choices. If people are trying to get you to do things you shouldnt then they really arent considered friends. Friends should never tell you to do things you shouldnt, they should encourage you to always do your best and be good. If they are choosing the wrong always be the bigger person and help them understand that what theyre doing is not right. Be the light and guide them to all the good things they can be doing instead.

"A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself."

What this quote by Noemi Trigueros means to me is that when choosing the right you are a good person. You become a champion when doing good things because making the right choices is always what's best. Choosing the right is good because it can make you feel good and not guilty at all. There can be many types of champions from relationships, sports, or decisions. I feel like when making decisions it is something you should always be really careful about. Making the right decisions can make you a champion. For example, if i bought a homeless guy food and it made him happy id be a champion because i did something good. Doing the right things can make you really happy.Nothing is better than feeling good about something you did. Choose the right and you'll be a champion.

" Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."

What this quote means to me is that when you set goals for yourself you must accomplish them. If you don't set any goals for yourself there's no way you'll accomplish any. Setting goals for yourself is a great thing because it'll benefit you in your future. Setting goals for yourself is a really important thing because you can get good outcomes out of them. When setting one you need to make sure you get one and accomplish one. For example, if i set a goal like, " I will graduate high school, get my diploma, and go to college." I will make sure it gets accomplished because it is very important to me. One time i made a goal saying i always want to make my mom proud, but i had already failed at accomplishing it because i always seem to disappoint her. I chose the wrong and got punished and from that day and on i've started doing good and accomplishing more and more goals.

Obedience

Student Success Statement 

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block."

What this quote by James E. Faust means to me is that your goal is a building block. Our goal shouldnt be an irritation. Building yourself up is always a good thing to do. Stumbling down happens when you make bad choices like doing drugs. It stumbles you down because doing drugs can ruin your life and ruining your life will only ruin your goals in life. Doing good things like being grateful and responsible well help your building block and will also help you accomplish your goals in life. Doing the right things will do you good in your future. Not slacking off on school , missing school to do drugs or to drink will benefit for you in your future when trying to get into a college. Hard work pays off.

By doing it

"We learn to do by doing."

What this quote by Spencer means to me is that you'll only learn how to do something by doing it. In order to know how to toss a flag in the air you must do it so that you learn. You probably wont get how to do something on the first try but you must keep trying until you do get it. I feel like giving up on something is never a good idea. Practice makes perfect so that means you shouldn't stop trying. There are certain things you must do in order to understand how to do something. You can't sleep not knowing how to do it but then wake up an expert at it. You must keep trying and trying until you get it because giving up on something shouldn't be an option.
