Brigham Young

Student Success Statement

“True independence and freedom

can only exist in doing what’s right.”

Brigham Young

Reflection: I agree with Brigham Young. Some people choose to do what’s wrong. For example, someone decides to go rob a house but then they get caught and they end up in jail. Choosing the wrong does take your freedom away from you. If you choose to do what’s right then nothing happens and you keep your freedom.

Keith the Football player

Keith the Football player

Keith who attends Ply Eagle Middle School was mentally disabled. He was in the football team and he had never made a touchdown before. To other people he was a nobody. His teammates planned out something and the coach didn’t know about it. They decided to not make the touch down even though they were close to the touch down. They protected Keith for him to make the tough down. His parents almost missed that moment that for his son was the best time of his life. They couldn’t believe it, they were shocked.         

George Mitchell

Student Success Statement

“Many think that the short term gain

will be worth the long term pain, but

it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating,

 and there in nothing worse in sports than a

cheater. Don’t do it.”

George Mitchell

Reflection: I agree with Mitchell. You might cheat and feel good and good things will come because you cheated but little by little everything will go away. It won’t last forever. Reality will come to you and it will hit you hard just for choosing the wrong and cheating. It’s not just sports you can cheat in. You can cheat in many other things but it is better not too.
