Thomas Carlyle

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like

a shit without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I agree with Thomas Carlyle. If you don’t have goals then don’t have something to work hard for. You need goals to do and be someone in life. When you have a goal it motivates you even more to accomplish it. You need to always look at your target in order to hit it and that's the same thing you need to do with your goals.

There will be peace in the world”

Chinese Proverb

Reflection: I agree with this statement. All thee thing leave the world into a better place. People are the ones who make the work what it is and if there is beauty in character there will also be beauty in the world.

4.     Caring: to be kind, forgiving, and grateful

Ex. When you see your little sister struggling with her homework and then you decide to help her, that’s caring

5.     Citizenship: obey laws, protect the environment, and volunteer

in doing what’s wrong.”

Student Success Statement

“The reward for doing right is

 mostly an internal phenomenon:

self-respect, dignity (self-worth),

integrity, and self-esteem.”  

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Reflection: Many people act differently. Some of them do change the way they act but some don’t. People who don’t do the right things aren’t really loved by people, but those who do right are loved. If you do the bad thing you won’t be respected. Your actions show what your worth.
