Student Success Statement: James Freeman Clark

"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or  wrong today."

This quote means that the choices we make today will affect us in the future. I read a story once about a man who was on his way to work. There was a man in a big rush behind him who shoved him and told him the 'F' word. When the man got to his offices he started interviewing people for a new position at his office. The first person to walk in for an interview was the same man he had seen earlier in the day. He interviewed the man and he knew he wasn't going to hire him. If this man had politely asked the interview to get out of his way instead of being rude he probably would have been hired.

Student Success Statement: Charles Ketterer

"The best way to predict your future is to create it."

This has a lot to do with goals. For example if you don't make any goals you won't be able to imagine your future. If you never tell yourself you want to graduate and have that mental image in your head of you in a cap and gown you will never be able to do it. Your future is as big as you dream. If you tell yourself you want to be a writer or an engineer you have to bust your butt off to achieve that goal and only then will you  be able to achieve the greatness you are setting yourself up to. 

Bless You

Bless you is a term used after someone sneezes that started in Rome where the people would say "Jupiter preserve you" or "Salve" which means "Good health to you". Meanwhile the Greeks would wish one another a long life. Then during the bubonic plague in the sixth century Pope Gregory the Great would tell people "God bless you" because sneezing was a symptom of the plague.

Rachel Castillo

A women named Rachel Castillo was raised Christian. She was always taught that she shouldn't steal or lie so of course when she found $36,000 she returned. She stated that that was about the amount of her yearly income working at the golf course where she found money. She could have done anything with that money but decided to do what was right and give it to it's rightful owner, a 76 year old man who resided in a living facility and may also have health issues. The money was confirmed to be his through a series of transactions.

Student Success Statement: Otto Graham, Jr.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly."

Otto Graham, Jr.

This statement means what it says which is basically do the right thing. If you are a good person of integrity with a good conscience you will know when you are facing the difficulty of something good or bad. The wrong path may be ten times easier as the right path but that shouldn't matter. You should always choose the right side because it may take a lot more time to accomplish this task but at least you know in your heart that you didn't cheat your way to it. At the end of the day those that chose the wrong will be punished and you will be rewarded for doing the right thing.
