Student Success Statement
         "Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have of tomorrow."

                                                                         Alan Stein



           This quote is by far the best one I have heard from the inter year. The goals I have set for myself I am no where near achieving them because I'm not making the best of decisions. Whenever I have free time I should clean my room or read a book or work on an essay. I never do that I always do the opposite which is sit in bed and use my laptop. But where is that going to lead me to? FAILURE. In order for me to start succeeding I have to start making better choices and get into the habit of them because those good choices that I do will reflect on my future. This is the quote I want to live by to be better and do better things for myself.

                                      " Dare you to stand alone."

                                               

                                                              Thomas S. Monson

                         You will always be surrounded by bad things or bad people. However, it's up to you if you want to follow the crowd or stand on your own. This is why Thomas S. Monson wrote this quote for people to never follow the crowd but to follow what's right. In life you will be surrounded by people who do drugs, steal, lie and cheat. Since there will be people like that in the world it's up to you to stand on your own and say I won't be like that; just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do it means that people need help in realizing what is the right choice. Thomas S. Monson is right; you should stand alone and do the right thing at all times.

               " It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."

                                                                      Pam Knox

                
                       When you have people who are not afraid of doing the right thing. Those are the people that should be looked up too because in this world that we live in we always blame everyone else but ourselves. Someone else always has the fault for the mistakes we make. It shouldn't have to be like that because we all make mistakes and nobody is perfect but the fact that you actually own up to your mistakes and what you have done wrong is what makes you into a better person. People appreciate those who can saying the truth and do the right thing. Don't lie and do the wrong thing, always be good to yourself so others can too.

        Student Success Statement

             " A promise must never be broken."
                                   

                                            Alexander Hamilton

                         Whenever you break a promise or you don't even do the promise you're losing someones trust. A person will never trust you again if you are always breaking promises or not keeping your word about it. Promises are meant to be kept and not be broken. I have had a few times that people break a promise to me and all it does it disappoint me and never trust in the persons word again. If you feel that you won't be able to keep the promise or even do the promise you should never promise anything to someone. It's always best to say the truth to a person that you won't be able to keep the promise then to just promise something and end up hurting the persons feelings and trust.

              " What you see is what you get"
                                                            
                           Anonymous

                   When teacher tell you that whatever effort you put into a test or project that's how much you're going to get out of the task. You can't expect to score 100% in a test when you didn't bother to study the night or weeks before. Everything has it's value you just have to learn how to create such great power to it. Never settle for less if you want to aim high and really accomplish everything you want; work hard for it. Nothing in this world is free or just handed out to you. You have to put time and effort into whatever you want to have because if you think that it will just happen for you one day; you're wrong. If you see yourself being a strong and independent person well that's the person you are. Never let others tell you otherwise.

 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 

       You always have to know that making the right decision might seem like if it's to hard or if there really is no point for it. But always remember making the right decision is better because you will never be filled with consequences. Whenever you take an easy way out it always will come back and haunt you because it's not the right thing to do. Don't do things that you might think at that moment it's okay to do. Wait stop and think because a bad decision can affect you through out all your life.

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

                                                                  

                                               Joseph Smith

                 Smith makes a very good point saying that we should only focus on the good things then bad things. In this world children are sometimes raised knowing so much about the harmful things in the world and things they shouldn't do then do. We need to make the world understand the meaning of good and make sure the actions of good are being promoted so children while growing up can start developing good habits; so later the next generation follows along. It's only a matter to speak to everyone and promote the good dids and things you can do.

                 " I trust that my hard work will pay off."
                                                           

                                  Tyler Haws


             The more work you put into something the better it will turn out. Sometimes it feels like it's worthless doing all the hard work and sacrifice everyday because it might not seem like it's making any difference but it is. I know that lately I have not put in my full effort in making a change for myself. Lately I have given up on a few things that I know I should not be doing. But Tyler Haws is right you have to put effort into something if not it will never work. If you believe that giving up on things will make a difference it won't you will only hurt yourself. That's the reason why always giving it your full on effort, work and time will pay off at the end.

                                     " I won't cheat "
                                                             

                                                                 Dale Murphy

                         When you cheat you are only affecting yourself and no one else. Cheating might seem easy to do better than putting in your effort because it might be hard but you always have to remember everything that takes a while to create goes away faster than when you take your time and do it step by step. For example if you cheat on the test the only person you are affecting is yourself because when a big test comes and you can't cheat you are going to end up failing it because you always used to cheat and never learned anything. Another example will be if you have to stay fit and eat regularly but when nobody is around you don't exercise and eat unhealthy you are only cheating yourself because the only person that is going to come out affected about that situation is you. So always think about the things you want to do and remember a cheater always gets caught. Don't cheat.

     "Great beauty great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."

                                                       

                              



                                              Benjamin Franklin





                        Having beauty and being wealthy is not a great use because sometimes people might want you for the wrong reasons. They might say they are your friends but when you need them they won't be there for you. In other times people who have beauty and are wealthy think that they are better than everyone else and start to mistreat others just because they don't have the looks or the money. None of that really matters. What truly matters is having a good heart and by that I don't just mean being in health I mean being a good person. Helping others and doing the right things is what is much more expensive then all the money, strength or beauty in the world.
