STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
"TRUTH IS THE ONLY SAFE GROUND TO STAND UPON."
ELIZABETH CADY STANTON

REFLECTION: IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY STAY ON THE "SAFE" SIDE IS TO TELL THE TRUTH. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN YOU'RE IN A STORE AND YOU SEE SOMEONE STEALING SOMETHING. YOU EITHER TELL THE TRUTH AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE SAFE AND SOUND BECAUSE YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, OR YOU STAY QUIET WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS BEING AN ACCOMPLICE. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AND KNOW WHICH SIDE YOU ARE ON, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT WHEN CHOOSING THE RIGHT, IT IS THE BEST CHOICE.

"Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable."
Peter F. Drucker 

reflection: i believe what Peter is trying to say is that you should always do the right thing no matter what. for example if a person is trying to get a job and she or he has to sleep with the boss, this is where you  take action. if you choose to sleep with the boss then you are just doing what is acceptable to get that job. but if you say no to the boss then that is the right thing to do and the best. 

"improve your performance by improving your attitude"

reflection: i tried out for basketball this summer and i know i didnt do my best. i will have to work hard to be in varsity for my senior year. i will condition with the girls and show that i am determined to get my spot on the team. a persons attitude can get better by having determination.

Student Success Statement 

Never

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil."

Ayn Rand 

reflection: there is never a correct timing when you should choose the evil or wrong side of things. it will be tempting but  as long as you know that it isn't right, you shouldn't do it and you should also choose the right. for example in a party, the beer and alcohol are evil, they might be tempting but you are better than that. so you know you won't want to drink.

“If it’s not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius

Reflection:          

I believe that Marcus is saying is you should not do something if it is the wrong thing to do. in addition you should not lie, because it is not the truth. For example if you went to a party instead of a friend’s house, your friend should not lie and tell your [parents that you are there when in reality you aren’t. if you went to the party and you drank beer or did drugs you chose the wrong. You should have said no and chosen the right. Now you must take ownership and confess to the truth. Always choose the right even if it hurts others.
