“Courage is being scared to death and doing the right thing anyway.” –Chae Richardson

Reflection: courage to me means to stand up when everyone else is too scared to stand for the right decision. Courage is that tiny voice in our heads that we tend to ignore when we know were going to do something wrong. You might be scared to stand up for what you believe is right but you don’t know the difference it can make. The decision to stand up for what is right can lead for even more than you expected to stand up with you, it takes a courageous one to lead the rest. Be the leader of those who are too afraid to speak up and teach them to have courage as well. We all have fears, and we all need to overcome them with courage. If you only knew what you’re scared of, will actually make you stronger. Fear is a word that stays deep in our minds and doesn’t let our potential show. You’re stronger than you think. Choose the right.

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.” –William Penn

Reflection: I believe that doing what is right doesn't always satisfy every individual; maybe it’s doing wrong that satisfies them. I can personally agree with this quote because I have personally seen or pretty much been through this where sometimes I'm the only one that wants to do what’s right while everyone does wrong. I pretty much go against the crowd when it comes to choosing the right because I know the consequences that will turn out for me. Even though it may seem that no one is with you when deciding what is right, it’s usually the fear of other to get out of the little “popular” crowd because they fear what they are going to say about them. I don't know how I do it when it comes to not going along with the crowd because they might say I’m different but I know that I’m the brave one to be myself and to not let anyone else control my decisions. I try my best to choose the right and it doesn't bother me if I’m the only one choosing it because I know a God that has given me discernment to know what the right thing to do.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.”

-Henry David Thoreau

  

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.”

-Henry David Thoreau

 

Reflection:

 Our dreams are the direction in our life, our purpose of living. As we plan out our life, we should walk confidently towards those dreams. Just don’t let your dreams just be dreams, make them come true. We can all have a fantasy world where we would like to live, but if we don’t try to make it real, we’ll only live there through our imagination. Take action to bring dreams into reality that we can be proud of the life we live in. We just need to understand that our plans or dreams should be placed in the hands of God before we even try to pursue them. He is the one who decides where we will be heading. He already has a plan for each of us that we don’t know about we just need to trust His will. Not everything we dream of will come true because God decides what’s best for us. Choose the right.

“I will persist until I succeed” – Og Mandino   

Reflection:

 Persisting means to stay strong in your goal, even though there is difficulty around you. Life will brings adversities that will not only try to cause us to fall but to give up and when we persist no matter what, your success is just around the corner. This is a great quote to live by because our goals can be big or small but as long as we persist we will succeed.

My example of persisting is graduating high school. When I stepped in this school I determined myself to persist no matter what until I graduated and received my diploma. Throughout my years in highs school, difficult situations came into my life but I stayed strong and I’m almost done. These last months in highs school are actually the hardest and most stressful because I get this laziness (or what the teachers call it “seniroitus”) but I know I need to persist and I will succeed. I’m trying my best and I know that if I just in God, He will give me the strength to persist any difficulty.                                                            

Student Success Statement

  

“Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTENCE.

Ø  TALENT will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Ø  GENIUS will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Ø  EDUCATION will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”   

                                           -President Calvin Coolidge (30^th president of U.S. 1872-1933)

 

Reflection:

Persistence is the key to success and there can’t be anything to take its place. Many have talent but are too afraid to use it, many are geniuses but are afraid to show it, and many have education but don’t know what to use it for. The only way to succeed in a goal is to first have determination to pursue it and no matter what or who comes along to bring you down, you always have to be persistent. Persistence is the voice that tell you to not give up when you what to throw in the towel. For the fact that we think were not gonna make it, we start losing strength and start giving up little by little. We all should have persistence in anything we do but most of all have faith in ourselves.

“Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get.”- Mark Victor Hansen

Reflection: Once you start to set your goals and you start pursuing them and it will take time to achieve them but eventually you will get what you worked for. Goals won’t be set by themselves you must have the mentality that you will do whatever it takes to reach that goal. No one else can set your goals and no one can get them for you. Until you start setting you will later begin getting. For example if I know I want to graduate then I should put it in my mind and determine myself to reach it bypassing all my classes and trying my best to be on time and to not be absent .When that day of graduation comes and I hear my name I will know that my goal has been achieved. We all have to have a positive attitude and have perseverance.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” –Charles Ketterer

Reflection:

The best way for anyone to predict their future is to start brainstorming and letting out your ideas of what you would like to do in the future. You only know what you would like to do, who you’d like to be in, and why you want to do certain things in the future. So don’t just sit there and feel like if the future is going to create itself you must take action and decide what you want to do with your life. The future begins with your actions and ends with no determination. The hardest part is starting but you’ll find strength on the way and you will achieve till the end.

 

Student Success Statement

“Action is the foundational key to all success” 

           –Pablo Picasso

Reflection: Determination is the next ingredient when writing our goals, but the main ingredient is action. Determination leads you to your action of achieving any goal of yours. Success won’t come to us we need to go after it, chase it until we catch it. Take action to the goals you are willing to fight and achieve for. Don’t give up and persevere. Choose the right.

“Vision without action is a daydream.

Action without vision is a nightmare.”

                           –Japanese Proverb

Reflection:

When you list your dreams you must add determination and action to achieve them because what’s the whole point of writing them down if you’re not willing to pursue them. If you vision yourself to be someone in this world you aren't magically gong turn famous or whatever you want to be we need to get up and take action. Take advantage of your free time and take action to pursue your dreams when you have the chance because what if too much time passes and it’s too late already and your life will become a nightmare because you didn't take action to your visions. For example the +100 goals that I wrote can be everything I dream to be but what’s the whole point to writing them down and waiting for them to come true. Life isn't a fairy tale where your dreams will suddenly come true. Dreams come true with hard work, determination, perseverance, strength and action.

“Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records”- William A. Ward

Reflection: when it comes to adversities coming to our lives we all have a choice to let them break us and leaving us to our lowest point to give up or to be strong and overcome them. Adversities come in all sizes but the affect is the same, the pain or sorrow that it brings us will change who we are if we give it permission. We must stop letting these adversities bring us down, don’t be afraid. We need to let out the courage that we hide within us and never give up in any situation were in. We need to start breaking our adversities before they break us. Be strong and have perseverance. Adversities make us stronger.

“CTR connects you to happiness and success- CTW disconnects." 
                                       -Mr. Haymore

 Reflection: When choosing to do right, it will bring youhappiness which will lead to success in your life. When choosing wrong it will bring regret and no success to your life. Everyone is placed in a road, where there are two arrows, one pointing to the left with a sign that’s says WRONG WAY!! , and the other arrow pointing to the right with a sign saying RIGHT WAY! But it’s our decision to choose which way we want our life’s to lead to destruction or success.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company”- Anon

Reflection:  I personally believe that at moments of our life we must choose between being alone or being with someone that is going to influence us to do the wrong decisions.  It might seem hard to let go of that person but at the end we won’t have to suffer the consequences. We have to step up and be brave and know what’s right between wrong. We need to learn how to choose those who will become our friends because we all need real friends not fake ones. For example I once had a friend in 9^th grade and she told me to go with her because she wanted to smoke a cigarette and I knew if I went with her she might get caught and the principle would of thought I smoked too so I told her no and I left her. I preferred to be alone than to be with her influencing me to do wrong. We should always choose the right in every situation we are in.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences.” – Robert E. Lee

Reflection:

It’s better to do what’s right than to do wrong. When doing wrong it’s easy to do and even to get away with, but even though there might be a consequence you will never forget it, it’ll always be in your conscience, you’ll have that bad feeling that you will want to regret but it’ll be too late. If you choose the right then you will have a good memory of the right choices you made and a good feeling about yourself. It might seem hard at times to do what's right but everyone has courage. Always choose the right.
