The Right Thing

Student Success Statement

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing." - Theodore Roosevelt 

What this quote by Theodore Roosevelt means to me is that no matter what situation we find ourselves stuck in we can always choose to do what is right. For example, if somebody offers you to do drugs and alcohol, you have two options, one: accept his/her offer, or two: deny his her/offer. No matter what kind of person you may be the obvious and correct thing to do in that situation would be simply to deny it because doing drugs and alcohol isn't worth your physical well being. So always to choose what is right and good things will come to you, but on the other hand, if you choose to do whats wrong, well don't be surprised if things don't go the way you intended them to.

Life Planning Goals

"Life Planning Progress Post"

I am reading my goals occasionally, but I know I can do better. I believe the whole point of all this is so that we can have idea on what we want to achieve in our lifetimes, because life can be a bit rough at times, but if we have a plan or a blueprint we can live our lives, not let our own lives control us. It is essential towards achieving success and if it is going to help me, not only in High School, but the rest of my life, why not dedicate some time towards writing down my goals. We only live once, why waste it... so from here on out I want to make the commitment towards writing down my goals and reviewing them everyday. I can honestly say I have slacked off of a bit but I want to change for the better. But otherwise, I believe this assignment has not only helped to determine what I want to accomplish in life, but it gave me a different perspective of life, meaning we can actually have most of what we want, but we need to be willing to work hard and fair for the things we want to achieve optimum success.

An unforgettable moment; an act of good character!

Western Oregon vs Central Washington (An unforgettable act of good character!)

It all occurred one afternoon, when Western Oregon and Central Washington competed for the conference final in softball. It was unforgettable moment for Sara, a girl who had never hit a home run in her college career, or in her entire life, where out of all the games she played, she finally hit a home run and as a result was real excited as she ran to score for her team. What she soon realized that out of her excitement, she had forgotten to touch first base thus making her turn back and accidentally tear her ACL. She then crawled to first base in terrible pain while coach Pam Knox asked the official/referee if Sarah could be subbed out. Unfortunately, she could but it would not count as a home run, so then Mallory and Liz players from Central Washington decided to carry Sarah to last base, which was an incredible ting to do in a final. Nonetheless, their coach Gary Frederick and Coach Pam Knox felt touched by this great act of good character as well as the rest of the teams and the people who attended the game. I felt great witnessing this, it makes me want to be that person who steps up to show good character.

Do the right thing at the right time.

Student Success Statement 

"It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time." - Pam Knox (Head Softball Coach Western Oregon) 

What this quote by Pam Knox means to me is that it is great to witness someone with great character stepping up and choosing to do whats right, at the right time. For example, those who choose pick up any litter or decide to help an elderly person cross the street is having great character. Or in sports, choosing to play fair and to compete without cheating is choosing to step up and be a person with great character.

2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.

3. Show respect to your fellow beings

4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.

5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.

What these 10 Indian commandments indicate is that they make each of their tribe members make like a promise to themselves and to the whole tribe, including the Earth. It explains how everyone must show respect and help when it is needed. It is strict on the ideal of being truthful and honest at all times, while taking responsibility for your actions. I believe these commandments are ideals we should all strive to follow because I believe that if we do, we will be wiser, happier, and kinder people. We must protect our planet and be kind to one another in order to live life the way we would want to live it. 

"What must never be broken"

Student Success Statement

"A promise must never be broken". - Alexander Hamilton

What this quote by Alexander Hamilton means to me is that a promise must be kept no matter what conditions are present. I honestly believe that those who keep promises are not only trustworthy, but one of the kindest people because you know they are reliable since you know they are true to their word. A promise being kept, for example, could be when one sets out to always do the right thing... if u keep your promise you are most likely to succeed in life due to the mindset you have. Yet, on the other hand, many could choose to break this promise and eventually end up failing and complaining about their lives. So choose to keep promises, and be truthful to yourself, because in reality, it's worse to lie to yourself than it is to lie to others about your promises. 

Visualization- Imagination

Student Success Statement

Visualization - Imagination

"What you see is what you get" - Anonymous

What this quote means to me is that you are what you believe are, meaning, if you truly see yourself as a great and successful person, most likely you will be one in the near future. However, if you are real negative about yourself, you won't go very far in life. Sometimes imagination is very important, setting goals, basically plan your life, so that you can accomplish all the things you want to do and work towards achieving your goals. Having a mindset helps you focus on what you truly want to achieve, and well always believe in yourself. 

Investments

Student Success Statement 

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." - Henry David Thoreau

What this quote by Henry David Thoreau means to me is that always investing in doing what is right never fails, because if we are always choosing to do the right thing, we are sure enough to succeed in whatever we put hard work into as well as life itself. I believe investing your focus on school can really benefit you as well as investing your time to read your life planning goals, you will have a plan set out of all the different things you want to do. However, Investing your time in doing wrong or bad, you will see yourself failing time and time again and who wants that? Commit to be a better person today, a person who invests in goodness, and always does right, and you are guaranteed success.

"You make Decisions because _____ _____"

Student Success Statement

"My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them... because they're right". - Theodore Hesburgh (Former president of Notre Dame) 

What this quote means by Theodore Hesburgh means to me is that we shouldn't set goals that are easy to accomplish or goals that are not attainable, and especially because others have set out to do the same thing. We should always choose do make goals with a purpose in mind, that being that we are going to set out to accomplish them because they are the right thing to do. We must life with a passion an ambition in life to always want more accomplished because I think that is the golden rule of life, to live it at its fullest.

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is _____ and ______"

Student Success Statement

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound" (not good) - Joseph Smith 

What this quote by Joseph Smith means to me is that it is our responsibility to make friendships/bonds with those who choose to do good, and avoid those who choose to do wrong. We would want to let ourselves be influenced by people who respect on another, do good in school, stay away from drugs and alcohol, and overall be good individuals in society. We want to avoid those who do drugs, are always lying or cheating, who are untrustworthy, and basically get into trouble do to their unrighteous actions.
