Student Success Statement: Thomas Carlyle

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."
This statement is saying that a person without a goal has no direction. They will go through life being useless because they can't think of how they would like to shape their future. This is dangerous because how can someone even survive without knowing what they want to do.
This type of goal can be anything, whether it be graduating High school, going to university, or finding a job that doesn't require a college diploma. It is simply impossible to live life without any goals at all.

Student Success Statement: Chinese Proverb

Beautiful Character
"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."

The Six Pillars of Character

The six pillars of character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.
Trustworthiness is the stated of being trusted. You gain this trust by being honest, reliable, and not cheating.
Respect is more of a series of actions. There are many things you can do to respect others like using good manners and being tolerant of others and their ideas.
Responsibility can be shown in many ways like being self-disciplined or having self-control. Taking the fault when you are the one that is in fault is another way to show responsibilities.
Fairness is very similar to respect. To be fair one must be open-minded as well as not cheat. You must also not take advantage of others.
Caring is the action of showing good emotions to others like being compassionate of expressing gratitude. It also has a lot to do with helping others.
Citizenship is also a very important characteristic. It means to know what is going on in your community and stay informed, as well as respecting authority.
I don't believe you necessarily have to comply with all of these pillars. If you only have 5 of these characteristics it is fine because nobody is perfect.

Student Success Statement: Sophocles


"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

This quote should be very important to everyone specifically because so many people now a days don't care about how they win because winning is all they care about. For example say you're taking the CAHSEE. Someone offers to give you the answers as they see you are struggling. You refuse to accept help because you want to pass the test and know you deserve to graduate high school. You get your scores back and it turns out you need one point to pass. But you feel alright about it. You know you are not at the level to pass but you are willing to study even harder to take this test and pass it. You are diligent toward graduating college.

Student Success Statement: Dennis Prager

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."
Good values are a mix of everything that makes a person good. So instead of just having one or two of these qualities have them all. Have good values is important because it betters you as a person. You will be more positive and make everyone else around you positive. You will also attract people who also have good values so you'd have more friends with good values. Values are what help us make good decision. Having good values you will decide not to steal or kill or anything of the such. It helps us differentiate right from wrong.
