The Ultimate Choice

.Of all the choices will ever make, one choice supersedes all others- the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is : To be a CTR Person - to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Reflection: 

What I think this statement means is that the only choice there will ever be is choosing the right. Meaning that when you don't know which way to turn you always pick the right. Even if everyone id against doing the right. Overall choosing the right makes you a good person it makes you feel good even though others don't think it's right. If you think it's right it doesn't matter what others think its your choice. Being a CTR person opens many opportunities in life.

Student Success Statement 

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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

What I think this quote from Thomas Carlyle is that when you set a goal it gives you a meaning to life. Such as if you don't have a goal you don't know where you'll end up just like the ship. Without a rudder there's no direction such as no goal no direction to life. A goal is like setting a plan for the future where you might end up. Without a goal you will end up lost and not going anywhere in life.

"Nicest Man in the World."

Patrick Morgan

Patrick Morgan a custodian in an airport in Florida had found an iPad with 13,000 dollars stuffed in the case. He had returned it to the owner and the owner gave him 60 dollars for the return. He gave the 60 dollars to a homeless women and a co-worker in need.  After the news found out the story he became emotional about what he did in helping others. He was rewarded with an award and 625 dollars.

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: 

What I think this quote means is that once you choose the right you will feel good all around. Whether it's you feeling great about yourself or making yourself a better person. When you choose the right it benefits you and others.

Forgiveness

Eric Smallridge went to prison for killing both Megan and Lisa. He was a drunk at the time he killed them and was sentenced for 22 years. Renee Megan's mother had said that he had punishment enough and he was truly sorry for what he did and gave him a shorter sentence to 11 years. She said forgiveness heals and its the only way to heal. She said she didn't want to be old and bitter so she forgave him for killing his daughter.

Student Success Statement

" When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."

Alan Paton

Reflection:

What I think this statement by Alan Paton is about is once someone hurts you so deep you can't recover until you forgive them for it. Also, there's no way you can move forward if your still stuck in the past. If you keep reminding yourself about it then it will just continue to hurt as bad as it did the first time. So you must be able to forgive to be capable to make peace with that person. Then it's on you whether you wan't them in your life or not.

Student Success Statement 

"Dare to stand alone."

Thomas S. Manson

Reflection:

What it think this quote means by Thomas S. Manson is when all your friends are doing something bad and you don't want to do it you should be courageous enough to say no and do your own thing. For example, JamesOn Curry had a winning record but he couldn't say no to the other people who were dealing drugs he was also arrested. He had to suffer consequences just for not being able to say no and to risk his career in basketball. Because he couldn't say no he suffered the consequences and won't be able to have a career in basketball.

Student Success Statement

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: 

What i think this quote means by Theodore Roosevelt is when you don't know what to do in a situation you always have to pick the right. For example, if you cheat on a test and they ask you whether you did it or not you should always say you did. For the reason that you did the wrong thing and you owned up to what you did. You choose the right whether it would get you or others in trouble. You do what is right for the reason that its the right thing to do. Also, when your faced with dealing with a problem and don't know which way to decide on it you should do what you think is right not what others think is right.

Student Success Statement 

"Make each day your masterpiece. 

You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better, and over a period of time you become a lot better."

John Wooden, 

UCLA

Reflection:

What i think the quote by John Wooden means is that what you want can't just be handed to you. What you want has to be earned. You work hard to get what you want. With day by day you practice and practice and you will get better each time. For example, if you wish to get 100% on a test and the last time you took it you failed you practice practice and practice and you will get better.  Also, if you have no idea how to ride a bike you work on it everyday and you will get better. Practice makes perfect.
