Student Success Statement

“Right is right only when entire.” Victor Hugo said this. I think he is trying to inform us that when you don’t tell the entire truth it is still considered lying. Telling partial of the story is lying. For instance, lets say you tell your parents you're going to your friends house to play video games, but after that you go out with your friends and smoke. Then when you get back home your parents ask you, what did you do? You respond we just played video games. That is considered lying because you didn’t explain the other half of what you did. You chose the wrong. I agree with Victor Hugo and his quote.

Good Quality People

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than in a bad company.” This is a very accurate quote that people shoud remember and live by. This was once said by the father of our country. George Washington. George Washington is trying to say to hang out with people who do good. WIth people who mean to do good. Don’t be influenced in a negative way. It is better to be with yourself than to be acompanied with bad people. For instance, if you have a caring and respectful friend who invites you to her house to study because you have a test the next day, but you have another friends who invites you to a party that everyone is going to attend. What should you decide? It is not hard to choose who you are going with. The best choice stands out. Go with your friend to study. You study and you get a good grade. Although if you go to the party you will fail the test. Do good and good will come to you. But if you choose to do bad, bad will come. I agree with George Wahington’s qoute.

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day as we know it, is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.”  But do we know the history behind it. It originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world. Let’s learn some interesting facts now. Valentine’s day is one of america’s biggest holidays. In Victorian times it was considered bad luck to sign a Valentine’s Day card. Many believe the X symbol became synonymous with the kiss in medieval times. People who couldn't write their names signed in front of a witness with an X. The X was then kissed to show their sincerity. In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This was the origin of the expression "to wear your heart on your sleeve." In 1537, England's King Henry VII officially declared Feb. 14 the holiday of St. Valentine's Day. Richard Cadbury produced the first box of chocolates for Valentine's Day in the late 1800s. Over 1 billion worth of chocolate is purchased for Valentine’s day in the U.S.

A teacher is most likely to get more cards, chocolates, candies than a student, friend, wife, husband, mom, or dad. Valentine’s day isn’t just to be celebrated with your boyfriend or girlfriend. It can be celebrated with friends and family. How do you celebrate your valentines day?

          

Arnold H. Glasgow

Student Success Statement

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.” This is a quote once said by Arnold H. Glasgow. This statement is trying to inform us that you won’t know how far you need to go if you don’t know where to stop. In football if someone is trying to score a point, they won’t know where they need to make it because there is no goalpost. They won’t know how far it is they need to go. Therefore they’ll keep running and running. For instance, let’s say you have a test and you keep answering questions but you don’t know where to stop because the teacher doesn’t tell you and you just keep going and going. You don’t know where to stop. I agree with Arnold Glasgow. I also found it interesting and I like how he put the words into perspective. He really knew how to change the words yet have the same meaning. I think that it really helps people understand more what he is trying to emphasize.

Chris Paul

Chris Paul was a high school basketball player. He loved his grandfather to death. His grandfather did so much for his family according to Chris. He even went to all of his basketball games. Even on work days. Then one day Chris’ grandfather died. He didn’t want to choose to believe that. Sadly, it was true. He was devastated. Days after he had a game. Chris didn’t know how he was going to play without his grandfather there in the audience. Then he reached out for his aunt for some advice. She suggested why not dedicate 61 basketball points to his grandfather indicating each year he was alive. And so he did. Chris Paul went beyond the 61 points. He almost reached the most basketball points done in one game. What an extrordinary story. Everyone should learn from this. He didn’t do this for rewards,or to be selfish. He did it to dedicate it to his wonderful grandfather.

Student Success Statement

Count Leo Tolstoy once said ‘’Only those live who do good.’’ This quote is trying to inform us that if you do wrong in life you won’t live long enough. You won’t enjoy what. If you do good, good things will come. For instance, let’s say that you go out to the streets and decide to feed the homeless. Life will repay you by living longer. You don’t leave this world without repaying for the things that you have done wrong. This is why I agree with Count Leo Tolstoy. “Only those live who do good.’’

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

Dr. Ben Carson once said “I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty.) It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.” Ben Carson was once a poor child. He or his family didn’t know to read. He was the worst in his class. He always wondered why everyone knew the answers to every question in class. But one day he decided he wanted to change that. He read books while everyone was having a good time outside playing. He wanted a better future for himself. He didn’t like the poverty so did something about it. He knew he could come out of it if he worked hard for it. So he did. This is a very inspiring quote. I think everyone should live by it. Ben Carson shows us by example that it is possible to do anything you want if you truly believe you can do it and work hard for it.

Any Topic

I chose to talk about New York today because it is such an interesting place to live in or to visit. New York City consists of 5 boroughs. Each of which is a separate country of New York State. The five boroughs Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island were consolidated into a single city in 1898. Some interesting facts about New York is that it 722 miles of subway track. The Big Apple is a term coined by musicians meaning to play the big time. New York was the first state to require license plate on their cars. New York is home to 58 species of wild orchids. It has over 70,000 miles of rivers and streams. The first American chess tournament was held in New York in 1843. I actually visited New York myself about three years ago in 2014. It was such a fun time. Many memories were made there that I will never forget. I visited a lot of well known places. I also met new interesting people. I was supposed to go back this year, although I don’t think it will be happening any time soon. I do wish to go back.   

Wrong is Never Right

Student Success Statement

“Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT.” This statement was stated by Russell M. Nelson. What Mr.Nelson is trying to inform us is that just because all of your friends, or all of your family members, or all of your classmates are doing drugs it doesn’t mean you should do it because it is the wrong thing to do. For instance, if you didn’t study for a test you have the next day and your friends tell you to cheat off of somebody else because they did it and it’s ok, you shouldn’t. That is choosing the wrong. A bad influence. You should probably not hang out with those so call “friends.” This is why I personally agree with Russell M. Nelson. He is a good influence.

Places

Bora Bora is a small South Pacific island northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia. The road that wraps around Bora Bora is only 19 miles from beginning to end. It is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier rief. Bora Bora is a tiny island made up of three villages; Anua, Faanui, and Vaitape. It is known for its popular luxury resort destination. This is a pest free zone. There are hundreds of underwater species. During the second World War the US choose these islands as a supply outpost for USA’s South Pacific Fleet. There is no letter B in Tahiti language. Instead it has a letter P. Therefore Bora Bora is actually named Pora Pora. Pora Pora has a definition of first born.  If you are looking for a place where you can run away from everything and enjoy your solitude, Bora Bora is the one. I selected this island because I’ve always wanted to visit it along with New York, but I already went to New York so now I must visit Bora Bora.
