Student Success Statement

“It may make a difference to all

eternity whether we do right

or wrong today.”

James Freeman Clark

Reflection: Yes, I agree with James because it really does make a difference whether we do right or wrong today. If we do wrong today it leads to something bad and that bad thing leads to another bad thing and it just keeps on going and going. For example, you don’t turn in your packet for your geometry class it will bring your grade down, it will be hard to get your grade up and you’ll be stressing because you didn’t turn in your packet and its causing you all these problems. If you choose the right and turn in your packet on time you won’t have any problems and you won’t be stressing. You have to choose the right in order to not have problems.
