Honesty

The quote “Honesty is the best policy’’ was once stated by Mark Twain. This quote is stating that if you choose to lie it won’t get you anywhere. If you choose to tell the truth good things will come out of this. Honesty is better than telling a lie. No matter how hurtful the truth is. Lieing can send you to the principle’s office, a bad note home, punishment at home. Lieing has negative consequences. On the other hand, telling the truth has rewards.Even if it didnt have rewards it is the right thing to do. This is why i agree with the quote Mark Twain stated, ‘’Honesty is the best policy.’’

Veterans Day

Veterans day is an official US public holiday observed annually that honors military veterans. Veterans day occurs on November 11. The purpose of veterans day is to remember and pay respect to all the men and women that died serving our country in a war. It is important to continue honoring veterans because it is a way of acknowledging the sacrifices they have made while serving their country. Some ways to show respect to veterans is to fly your flag American Flag, or you can attend a veterans day event.

I think that veterans day is a good way to honor and appreciate the fact that people did good deeds for us now while sacrificing their life for us. These veterans deserve to be complimented and thanked for the outstanding work they have accomplished. It is a day where people should be more respectful to one another. We shouldn’t see this day as a day off of school. We need to take the time to appreciate what they have done for this country.

Shall be Wise

‘’He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.’’ This statement seems accurate to me. I personally agree with this quote because if you hang out with a group of people who are respectful, responsible, honest, etc. you will learn from that group of people and follow their characteristics. Although if you are involved with people who smoke, drink,      or are rude, you will be influenced in a bad manner. So it is better to choose the option where you have a future ahead of you. If you choose the group where you get influence wrong, your life won’t be going anywhere. If you choose the right there will be opportunities everywhere for you.

To do Good

‘’The best recreation is to do good.” This statement was stated by William Penn. This statement means that to do something new it is better to do it good than bad. For example, lets say you’re trying to ride a bike. You should at least try before complaining and getting scared. You shouldn’t just sit on the bike and wait for it to magically ride itself or get scared. I agree with William Penn. “The best recreation is to do good.”

Student Success Statement

Always

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.’’ This statement was said by William Penn. What this means is that even if everyone chooses to do the bad thing it doesn’t mean that it is the best thing to do. Choosing the right is always the best thing to do. For example, if 2 people choose to bully a person and more and more people tag along, and by then there are 10 people bullying the person that is choosing the wrong. Although if you’re the only one who chooses to help that person out but no one joins you it doesn’t mean you’re doing a bad thing. In fact you’re the only one doing good. I agree with William Penn. ‘’ right is right, even if everyone is against it;and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. Choosing the right is always the best thing to do.
