Student Success Statement

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:I find this quote rather intriguing to be completely honest.It's quite true what Carlyle was comparing between the man and the boat.When left without the slightest clue of what you'd like to accomplish in life you really just have no  destined location.Without a destined location or knowing where you want to be in life you your left to do nothing.Therefore,leaving nothing to getting accomplished.

"I would prefer to fail with honor than win by cheating."

Sophocles

Reflection:If only there were still people like this how better the world would ultimately be.I can agree with this quote on some accounts,but not as strongly and truthfully as Sophocles.If I were to be in a race and not win because the other person cheated I'd feel absolutely angry.If it were the other way around with me as the cheater,I'd probably be upset with myself because I didn't win because I was better and it proves that in a fair race I would've lost.That would possibly be one of the most horrid case scenarios I can think of.

Memorial Day

1. Memorial day is a US holiday.   
2. The custom of honoring ancestors by cleaning cemeteries and decorating graves is an ancient and worldwide tradition, but the specific origin of Memorial Day, or Decoration Day as it was first known,are unclear.
3. Memorial day is Monday,May 25. 
4. You could show honor and respect for Memorial Day by participating in charities for the families that have lost their loved ones as a result of their time in the military.
5. 
6. Memorial Day is is kind of associated with Veteran's Day which is pretty interesting. Both are holidays that honor those who have served the U.S., and it is very endearing to see that these people who have sacrificed so much are being given recognition.
7. Well,my family and I will probably BBQ and  I guess that's about it.

Student Success Statement

"The most 

important thing

 you will ever have

 is good values."

Dennis Prager

Reflection:I think that it's really good to have a set of values.I think that this is definitely something that is true. Without good values, you can watch as your life quickly falls apart. Good habits and good morale lead to a more accomplished life, whereas bad values, and no morale can lead to being unproductive or even becoming someone who loses their life early on because they fell into a bad path. I've often said that I will never feel the need to take drugs or do alcohol because I've learned from other people just how catastrophic taking that dark path may become. I want to be someone that my parents brag about later on in life and that they still think about with rose-colored glasses on their deathbeds.

Optician

Duties and Responsibilities:The purpose of an optician is to help fit eyeglasses and contact lenses for customers based on prescriptions from ophthalmologists or optometrists. They also help you choose the type of glasses or contacts to buy. 

Salary: The salary of an optician is approximately $33,330 yearly, or $16.03 hourly. 

Education: Opticians usually have a high school diploma or equivalent, as well as some on-the-job training and possibly an associate's degree from a community college. Licensure is also required in some states

.

 Reflection: I think that if I wanted to work in the eye industry, I would aspire to become an optometrist, not an optician. I think that the pay for becoming an optician is fairly good for someone living on their own, but if I were to want to get married and have children, I would want to make more money. I want a higher wage so that my kids can not only have enough food to grow up healthy, but so that I can provide money needed when they want to join a sport, or go on a camping trip. I want to be financially capable of giving my children the easiest life possible. Even if I had a husband to manage my financial status, I would still like to feel self-dependent when it comes to handling myself or my family.

"Nothing 

is ever gained in

 doing what's 

wrong."

Wilfred Woodruff

Reflection:Well then why to rug dealers seem to be living it way better than we are?How about all those people who gamble and all the money they have?I know of a lot of things that are incredibly wrong,yet they still live the high life.Yea,it's not an honest life nor is it a safe life,but they get through.All I'm saying is that there  are many different ways of attaining success,some more harder than others though,so to speak.

LAUSD:Families

LAUSD offers:

•  Student Volunteer Programs
•  Parent Advisory Committee
•  District English Advisory Committee
•  Parent Bill of Rights

These services will benefit me because I definitely am going to consider the volunteer programs for students...and my parents are definitely interested in getting more involved when it comes to my school things, definitely.

These services will allow us to be more involved with the school, as well as possibly provide excellent learning experiences I can put into practice later in life.
