Student Success Statement: Theodore Roosevelt

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

This quote is pretty self explanatory. It is saying that no matter what we must do the right thing. Regardless of the situation we should never stray from the right path. If you are in a situation where all of your friends are smoking and drinking, you should first of all get new friends, and second of all say no. There should be no question about this. Your friends have already made the wrong decision and it is up to you whether you want to make the wrong decision as well.

Life Planning Progress Post

I have 330 goals. Out of those 330 goals I have achieved 57 goals. I think this is a good number because I went it to this thinking that I wouldn't achieve any goals. I couldn't even imagine having 330 goals. My goals are mostly all the same. Most of them are about meting authors and I had the pleasure of crossing off most of those authors on my list. A lot of them are about foods I went to try and places I would like to visit. I haven't achieved many of those. I have a few goals about the books I would like to read.

Dr. Bob

Dr. Bob, from Albany, New York, provides free health care in his community, which happens to be the worst community in New York. He didn't enter the Medical force for the money, but to helps others. Not only does he diagnose and vaccinate patients for free, but he also pays for their prescriptions at time. He lives off of donations but most of those donations go back to the community. This makes him successful in my opinion, not in riches but in love from the community. He can easily get away with charging his patients a bit or keeping his donations but he doesn't. This makes the people of the community grateful.

Student Success Statement: John Wooden

"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."

You can't just expect to become good at something overnight as well as give up because you can't do something as good as someone else. This is why this quote is so inspirational. You have to try things that your are bad at to master them. For a lot of people their talents weren't just in them. It wasn't natural. They had to master it. W e had people on our student success statement before that have stated they were horrible when they first started, but with hard work and a lot of effort and determination they became the best at what they are. Us students can apply this to are school life because many of us fall under pressure. It pushes down on everyone and makes everyone want to give up. The only one of us who eventually become successful are the ones that follow through and attempt to learn new things.

Good Character

At a Western Oregon softball game against Central Washington Sara, a player from Western Oregon, was put up to bat. At this particular game she hit a home run. It was her first home run ever in her softball career. She ran to first base then she was fine. Then suddenly as she was running to second she tore a muscle in her leg making her unable to run. Her coach Pam Knox asked if they could do anything about it but she couldn't. Players Liz and Mallory from the opposing team decided to step up. They asked if they could carry Sara to home base. Although the umpire was confused it was allowed. They carried her to every base all the way to home. Central Oregon won that game. Although Sara was unable to continue playing she was happy she made her first home run with the help of Liz and Mallory.

Student Success Statement: Pam Knox

"It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."

Imagined being blamed of something you had no part of. As much as you implore the person blaming you to believe that you couldn't have blamed you for that thing, the refuse to listen and are insistent that you are to blame. Then suddenly someone steps up. They explain that they are to blame. There is a sense of relief that comes upon you when someone tells the truth. First of all you might think. 'Thank goodness, I won't be getting in trouble, because the real culprit has stepped up'. What we should be thinking is 'Wow, it must have taken a lot of courage to tell the truth!' If I were in this situation I would firstly thank the person, because were it not for them I would still be getting in trouble.

10 Native American Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all the dwells therin with respect.
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the well being of mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your effort to the greater good.
9. Be truthful at all times.
10. Take full responsibilities for your actions.

These Ten Commandments basically say that you have to do what is right, help other, have faith in their deity, be responsible, and be respectful. I already do most of the things. I try to be very kind and respectful to others. I don't like lying and I take responsibility for all my wrong doings. To apply all of these I think I have to think of myself sometimes, because I like helping others but I rarely give any time to myself.

Student Success Statement: Alexander Hamilton

"A promise must never be broken."

This, in a way reminds me of Harry Potter. In the very popular series by JK Rowling there is a type of promise made called an unbreakable promise. Basically if you break this promise you will die. Dying if the promise is broken is a way to encourage that that promise is kept. I don't think there should be any form of encouragement to keep a promise it should just be common sense to keep a promise. For example, if your best friend tells you a secret that won't lead to the harm of herself or anyone else and you promise that  you won't tell it should just be a given that you shouldn't tell. If you tell your mom and you know she won't leak it, it is still not okay. If you break a promise you are breaking trust.

Student Success Statement: Visualization-Imagination

"What you see is what you get."

This quote is saying when you set your goals and actually try to achieve it you will get it. It takes a lot of confidense and imagination to do it because you need to be specific when setting goals. You also have to get out of your comfort zone to truly see those dreams come to life. You can see this a lot of the time in tv shows, movies, and books. For example in Harry Potter, the character Hermione sets out to become the best young witch and she does with a lot of studying and hard work. In the book Love in the Time of Cholera, Florentino vows to love Fermina and Promises that one day they will be married. Although it takes a long time he does end up with her. I would one day like to write novels. I've always seen myself working with books.

Student Success Statement: Henry David Thoreau

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

Making an investment with money is a risk. You'll either get rich or die trying. The thing about investments with money is that you don't know if you'll win or lose. When you do good and give back that is an investment that in no way will ever hurt you. If you decide to do a good deed that person will remember the goodness you did for them. They don't have to repay you. They could give back to someone else in need. In that way you will possibly be starting a chain reaction of good deeds and decrease worldsuck.

The record for the largest pizza is held by the Norwood Hypermarket since December 8,1990.
The record for the loudest scream by a crowd is held by Matias Viitasalo since April 16, 2005.
My favorite of these records is the most eaten Big Mac's because I love Big Mac's. They are my favorite Friday snacks.
I would one day like to break a record just for the fun of it and to be able to brag and say that I've set a record.

Student Success Statement: Theodore Hesburgh

"My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right"

This quote is basically saying that the only reason we do things is because it is the right thing to do. I believe that in our subconscious mind we do certain things because they are right. It is not until we second guess our decisions that we start to wonder if we will get more popular if we make that decision. We ask ourselves which decision will better advantage us. I do thing people do things for reasons that aren't because it is right. However, I do believe we do do things for selfish purpose even if our first idea was right.

Student Success Statement: Joseph Smith

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound."

This quote means that we have to popularize and normalize things that are good for you and the people around you. Doing good things or actions that you do that aren't selfish are viewed as strange and most people won't do them because they fear ridicule. If we make good deeds popular more people would do good deeds without hesitance.
