Student Success Statement
"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else,and I can change that(poverty).It depends upon how hard I work,and I decided that I would change that."

Ben Carson

Reflection:I actually really like this quote.I can sympathize with what he is saying and it all makes sense.i as well don't NOT enjoy poverty at all.It's something that I grew up with and currently still live with.It's the constant struggle of making ends pay and balancing out the amount of money that comes in and out.Real pain in the rear if you ask me.You know how much it sucks to limit your spending and be on constant watch of prices?Not fun.I'll be damned it I stay in this class.I'm possibly the lower middle class at the moment which really doesn't help seeing that the middle class is practically gone.I plan on making something of myself and getting out of this pothole,I owe it to myself and to my parents.

Student Success Statement

Never because 

"You 

can't be right by doing 

wrong;you

can't be wrong by doing 

right."

Thomas S. Monson

 

Reflection:This is most partially true. Sometimes wrong is not always wrong and right is not always right.Whether something is right or wrong it all has to do with perspective.We can't be quick to judge,say or believe what is right and wrong.

Who are we to define what is "socially acceptable"?Or acceptable at all.I think it has to deal alot with ones intentions and thoughts.It's not about what yo did more like what way you planned on doing something.

Student Success Statement 

"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Reflection: Enthusiasm I believe,is essential to people as they try to complete various tasks.In my personal experience I find things very distasteful and a burden to do when I have zero to no enthusiasm.When I do have enthusiasm I feel like I can overcome any obstacle and complete it in a swift breeze.I'll always have my head up ready for the next challenge instead of dreading it. 

Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to live a legacy,I was trying to do what was right."

Dean Smith

Reflection:I think that Dean Smith as a person was a man of high moral and standard.This quote shows how he wasn't looking for anything more than to pursue good deeds.I can respect that within a person. Someone who doesn't care about status or winning and what not.As a coach he did more than just motivate,but helped and support his players in life.His intentions are obviously in the right place.

Why wouldn't I want to be one?!?!?!?!?! I'd so be up for hacking a nice piece of wood,yelling "Timber!!!!",rocking the flannels,and downing flapjacks.Let's be honest here,being a lumberjack is pretty rad man.I love the outdoors,love the smell of evergreen and pine and couldn't be happier that I'm swinging an axe around.Now I know,I know what I'm jotting down seems stereotypical,but I do understand that being a lumberjack requires alot of heavy lifting and hard work! I'm perfectly fine with that to be honest.I keep my physical shape and that's cool.Let me not forget my most favorite thing about a lumberjack...........*drum roll*........*wait for it....waiiitttttt* THE BEARDS!!!!They have the best most rockin and coolest beards of all time!I mean come on!!Look at how fabulous and majestic they are!!That is a beard of warrior if you ask me.Glory and praise!Thank god  for Lumberjacks!!

Student Success Statement

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams.It's about how to lead your life.If you lead your life the right way,the karma (destiny,fortune,good luck) will take care of itself.The dreams will come to you."

Dr.Randy Pausch

Reflection:I just think people should take charge of their lives and be the person they want to be.What many people do not understand is,you can be anything.You just have to work hard and be motivated which alot of people lack because of their incapability to self motivate themselves.Alot of people give up before they even start because the thought of trying to accomplish stuff stresses them out.Sometimes you need to just look for what you want in life and snatch it and not let it go.

12 Are Killed In Terrorist Attack at Newspaper In Paris (January 7)

12 men barge in the newspaper room and kill 12 people which includes the papers top editor many cartoonists and two police men.5 others are severely injured in the process.The paper was known for their religious based writing.France is currently in shock as the President of France says.I believe this is a terrible act of negative response and force.My guess is they did it because they disagreed with the material they were writing for the possible reasons:1.) It was offensive 2.)It was to get back at them for an unknown reason or 3.) Possibly a rival company.Either way it was unnecessary to do so and should have been dealt with in another more civilized manner.

"Every time I've done something that

doesn't feel right,

it has ended up not being right."

Mario Cuomo

Reflection:Well I can't agree a hundred percent with this quote,but I can say that there have been some cases where what I did didn't feel all that correct in my gut.I usually get an uneasy feeling in my gut like when I'm doing a test and a choose an answer,but I'm unsure of it.This has happened other times before and I am sure has happened to people before too.

Student Success Statement

"Intelligence plus character,

that is the goal of true education."

M.L.King Jr.

Reflection:I think education is something that is very important.I very much enjoy and approve of education because I believe it is essential in life.Not everyone can be as lucky to get a free education as most of us do.The more we learn the more we grow,not only in intelligence,but as a person.Learning new things makes our eyes more opened to the world and also makes us less arrogant as well.Personally,I love learning.Not school,but the act of learning something new itself.Makes me feel more enlightened when I am more informed on a subject than to know little to nothing about it.I'm the type of person who enjoys learning how things work and why things are the way they are.Education just immediately opens all kinds of new doorways to life.

Reflection:Do you think you would like to be one?Why?Why not?I would probably be ok with this job seeing that I know much on food and get to work with it.It would kind of be a pain planning out all the food plans for people though.It would take alot of time and effort,but the pay is pretty decent.I could probably do this,but I wouldn't so much as enjoy it.It would benefit me in a way though knowing all this information and facts on food and dieting in turn leading me to be healthier.
