Right

Student Success Statement

"Always do right."

Mark Twain

Reflection: This quote is very similar to all of the other quotes that he gives us. Always about choosing the right and what not. Never choose the wrong. So, i guess... CHOOSE THE RIGHT!
But, yes never do the wrong thing. Always do the right thing.

Thanksgiving

Well this Thanksgiving Week very much happened. Well to start off I went to work with both my mom and dad which was interesting. My dad is a truck driver so we went to a different location in California which was far away. Since my mom is a house cleaner I went to help her clean a couple of houses. On Monday I ordered shoes and I received them yesterday. On Wednesday i spent the entire day with my friend which was cool. I had a lot of fun. On Thursday since it was Thanksgiving I made a dish to take to my cousins house so we could eat as a dessert. I made ambrosia fruit salad. My entire family were very joyful and full of laughter. On Friday I slept in and in the afternoon, my mom and I went Black Friday shopping. I thought that they was not going to be any parking, but I was wrong the parking was emptier than any other normal day. We went shopping for an hour or two and then left. I had fun shopping. On Saturday and Sunday I didn't do much except for saying goodbye to my cousin because she is going back to Guatemala. But that is about it.

 Gratitude

Student Success Statement

"Develop the attitude of gratitude."

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I believe this statement should be told to everyone in this world. Everyone should be grateful for the little things. For example. If someone gives you a piece of their food, be grateful, they thought of you and decided to give you a piece of their food. If you give money or food to someone in need they are grateful. Even if it is a dollar, how much does it cost? How much a dollar cost? What does it take for you to gift someone something they need. Nothing. They will be eternally grateful. So you should be grateful no matter what.

Student Success Statement

The 3 questions

1. Can people trust me to do what's right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I trust people the way I want to be treated?

"If the answers to these are YES, there is no way you can fail."

Lou Holtz

Reflection: I believe this on some extent. The first two questions make much sense.People do trust me to do whats best, so if I do my best then everything will go well and nothing will go bad. The second question is a question which I also believe to be a step to not fail. I believe this because if I am committed and do my very best then nothing will go wrong. The third question I kind of don't agree on. Even if I treat people with kindness and respect. There is no guarantee that people will treat me the same. There are many people who treat you very poorly even if you treat them like a king or queen. But other than the last question, I agree with this quote.

Physical Fitness

Student Success Statement

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

President John F. Kennedy

Reflection: I believe that this quote is very true. Fitness is a key to a healthy body as well as diet. Fitness can help intelligence and skill for many reasons. One of the reasons is that some people do fitness to relieve stress. So if stress is gone then you may be able to function intellectually and skills might be able to function again. A healthy and strong body is very important.

Kindness 

Student Success Statement

" Kindness is the essence of greatness"

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Reflection: I find this quote to be very true. If you are kind to someone in need or someone worth helping, then you are great. You aren't great, you are amazing. If you help a homeless or poor person in something that they need like food or personal hygiene materials, you are not only helping them but you are helping yourself be a better person. Every day you should try to make yourself a greater person. Even if it is a small thing. Everything counts. Everyone should try their best at helping other people out . We need to make the world a better place.
