Why Do I Want To Go?

I want to go to college because it will give me a better opportunity in life. In order to succeed college is a big step. I will be the first sibling in my family to go to college and i want to make my parents proud. My parents put a lot of time and effort into helping me with my education and i believe it'd be a great gift to give them as me going to college. I want to go to college and set a good example for my younger sibling. I want to go somewhere in life and by doing so i will be going to college and get the education i need and deserve.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”
Thomas Carlyle



 Reflection: If you do not have a goal, it is like not having a sense of direction. You have nothing to guide you. Your goal is what guides you, it is what you look forward to. The goal you set for yourself is the goal yo are determined to reach.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation, if there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Conclusion:
If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.
Chinese Proverb.

 
 Reflection: I believe that this Chinese proverb is correct, because without beauty or peace, there is nothing in the world. Peace in this world is what is more important, and from beauty comes peace. 

Character Counts

Character Counts
“The Six Pillars of Character”

1. Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.
2. Trustworthiness: Be honest. Do what you say you’ll do. Have the courage to do the right thing. Ex) If you see someone trying to steal something from the store, you go to the store manager and tell them right away.
Respect: Treat others with respect. Use good manners, not bad language. Ex) if you are speaking with your mother, speak to her with respect and do not use bad language.
Responsibility: Do what you are supposed to do. Plan ahead. Use self-control. Ex) If you are assigned an assignment and it is do next week, do it ahead of time.
Fairness: Play by the rules. Take turns and share. Be open minded; listen to others ideas. Ex) if you are playing a board game with friends, do not cheat and play fair.
Caring: Be kind. Be compassionate and show you care. Express gratitude. Forgive others. Ex) Be nice to your mother and father.
Citizenship: Cooperate. Get involved in community affairs. Stay informed. Vote. Be a good neighbor. Ex) Clean up the streets in your community.


 


 Reflection: I think that the six pillars are very important because people should really know about this. This is a very helpful idea that can make our way of living a lot better if everyone followed it. I am committed to share these six pillars by expressing kindness and honesty and citizenship.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”
Sophocles

 



 Reflection: It is best to fail on something that you did correctly, than to win something that you cheated on. Wining is usually great when it is done honestly, but when you try to cheat in order to win, then you did not win honestly, not only did you cheat, but you also cheated on yourself. Losing isn’t always a bad thing, especially when you tried so hard to win, but instead of cheating you decided to be honest even if it caused you to lose.
