STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

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


I agree with this quote. You can never be right by doing something wrong. Wrong can never be right. You can never go wrong by doing what is right. Right and wrong are like the directions themselves, they will never change. Right will never be wrong. It is important to understand what is right to do. If something gives you happiness and has no negative affect to others or your surroundings, then it is not a bad thing. But if something leaves you with a guilty conscience, then it probably is not the right thing to do. Follow your conscience when you have trouble understanding whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Do not take part in something you know is wrong. You cannot make wrong right no matter how hard you may try. That is why it is important to do the right. Avoid the wrong and all it will put you through. You can never go wrong by doing what is right.

''The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.'' - Dr. Laura Shlessinger This quote is true. Usually when doing something that is right you never really get a physical reward. The satisfaction is internal since you yourself commited the act. At times there might not be any witnesses. Physical recognition comes for other reasons. When you acknowledge those factors, right truly will feel like a phenomenon. The feeling you get when doing right is like no other. That is the only feeling apart from all others. That sense of well being will not be caused by any thing else. Reward over moral is a great prize.

Student Success Statement

''I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor'. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls- walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first.'' - Karl G. Maeser I think this quote is very noble. It speaks of good character. The quality it takes is of the ultimate trust and loyalty. Yet, I can't help but disagree at its exaggeration. Trust and loyalty can only go so far and do so much. While it is true, having those qualities and being true to your word is incredible, it can not be the only action. For example, to die out of a promise seems extreme. There are many ways to fufill a promise and be a trustworthy person. Dying should not be considered. Staying true is one thin...
