"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.

"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.

"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.

Reflection:Would you like to be one why or why not?

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!!
