NEVER

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

Ayn Rand

 I think that this quote means that it’s never okay for you to something wrong. First of all, because you don't need to. And second, it doesn't give you anything in return but a guilty conscience. And it's living a bad life.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn't feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”

Mario Cuomo

I think this quote means that when your gut tells you that something is wrong you have to listen to it because it might be right. If you feel that you forgot something its mostly because you did. Also if you keep feeling like you did something wrong then it is because you probably did do something wrong. There is no reason to not feel guilty unless you did something to feel guilty about.

Tony Farmer

Tony Farmer received 3 years in prison for kidnapping his girlfriend. sending threatening voice mail and messages to his girlfriend. tony was a basketball player who chose the wrong and went to jail. hye went from a basketball court to a judicial court.when he was sentenced tony didn't believe he had to go to jail for three years. but when you choose the wrong you need to pay for the consequences and it's too late to fix the damage. i think tony should have thought of what he would do and where he could end up before he did anything crazy.

Alex Schwazer

The gold- medal winning race walker Alex Schwazer was caught using drugs. And he said at his court conference that he was happy that he got caught using druga because he said he couldn't take it anymore and he wanted another different life. He said that all the weight he had been carrying of him of denying it lifted as soon as he admitted he used drugs. It is brave for someone who does something wrong have the gut to admit it even if they know there will be consequences. but also you put weight inside you whe you take the first step and hide it from people. But still he admitted it, he came clean, and now with that he doesn't have to worry about that. He just has to make sure that another wrong thing he does he does the same and come clean so the consequences won't be as bad. but he shouldn't have done it in the first place but now i respect him because he wasn't a coward he admitted he did something wrong. And i bet he felt relieved when he finally admitted it. the weight inside him he had beeing carrying of lying finally lifted away. And he can now have no worries about beign caught or arrested. he is free to live another life like he said..."i dream of another life".

Marion Jones

A five Medal olympic girl named Marion Jones went to jail for using drugs. she had to many investigators about her drugs until the truth  caught up with her. She finally admitted that she was using drugs when he went to court. She was stripped from her five olympic medals and she was sentecnced to six months in prison. she tried to escape the truth, she tought it would never catch up with her but at the end it did. she ended up paying for the consequencess of her cheating and for lying about it. the truth will always catch up with you no matter  what. you can't escape from it. and even if  you try it will always get you in the end. millions of people saw her as an amazing olympic contestant that won 5 medals. but now that the truh is out they see her as a liar. and all the fans and kids she influenced the ones that saw her as their idol, aere now beign dissapointed and sad that they had to confront the truth of their idol beign a fraud. but she now knows that she shouldn't have lied and that won't do it again because she knows the consequences of lying.

“A man without  goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

I think this quote means that is you don’t have a goal you don’t have nowhere to go. A person can be like a ship they can both sink if something is done wrong. A person that lives below the line can sink just like the Titanic.

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

Anon

I think this quote means that depending on what is happening. If you are at a party where everyone is drinking and doing drugs it’s better to be alone and not doing it at all. Also it’s better to be alone ctr then to be in a group ctw. 

Student Success Statement 46

Student Success Statement

“If you do what’s right, you have no need to fear.”

Anon

I think this quote means that you don’t have to be scared  of doing what’s right. Lke for example if you do something wrong you can show that you are not scared. But in the inside you are worrying that what if you get caught and if you do what will be the consequences. The problem is that because some people do something wrong the first time and don’t get caught the first time they think that means that they could keep on doing it over and over again. Like the people that smoke weed or do illegal drugs they might not get caught but they are worried that they might get caught or if somebody tells on them. If you choose the wrong you’re going to have the worries climbing up your shoulders more and more until they bring you down to the ground and end up suffering worse consequences than before.

Student Success Statement

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

Ezra T. Benson

I think this quote means that it is simply impossible to feel right about doing something that’s wrong. For example, you can’t feel good about robbing a bank and stealing others people’s money that they used to feed themselves and their families. Or you can’t feel good about passing a class if you are cheating in the work and tests. You can feel good about being bad. It’s like a superhero they feel good about saving the day. But if they don’t save the day and go to the dark side they feel guilty that they up on being good. Being good makes you happy.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

Wilfrod Woodruff

I think what this quote means is that is that even though you can expect to get a reward for choosing the right. You cannot expect a reward for choosing what’s wrong. Because you should and you never get a reward for doing the wrong things you are not to do. For example, if you get good grades you can get a reward in an assembly and be sitting in the stage waiting for your name to be called, or you can choose the wrong and behave bad and the results you end up sitting in the audience watching everyone else or your friends get awards except for you. It’s just one decision that can determine a reward or nothing in return.

Successful Students 10

Successful Students 10

10. Successful Students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of your life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December 1992.

“Learning Technologies and Online Education”

Choose The Right!!!!!!

Student Success Statement 36

Student Success Statement

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good.”

Joseph Smith
I think that what this quote is trying to say is that just like how teachers have a job to tech students. How policeman have to enforce the law. How lawyers have to be in court. How our parents have to work to pay for bills. We as one community come together and use the power we all possessed; we use our power for good and influence others to join us into doing what’s right and to stop the entire crisis that’s going on like drugs, robbery, and ctw. We all have a duty we must follow to simply influence the idea of choosing the right.

Student Success Statement 35

“What’s right isn't always popular. What’s popular isn't always right.”

Howard Cosell

I think what this quote is trying to say is that rightness and popularity are not proportional meaning they are not related. That means that if the new popular thing is too do drugs in school, that doesn't means you have to go around and join them. You can simply choose the right and not have to be popular. Or if the popular kids go and rob a store, you don’t have to go with them and do the same thing they do because even if you do it you might not even become popular and get in trouble. Or even if everybody is cursing in their house, why should you have to do it too?

“ I know only what  is moral is what you feel good after and what is immortal is what you feel bad after.”

Ernest Hemingway

I think what the quote is trying to say is that you can feel a difference after what you’ve done whether is good or bad. You can tell a difference and even if you try to deny it even if you ignore it inside you will know the difference and can’t deny it that you know what you’ve done wrong. If you do good your mortal meaning you could live and have no worries. But if you do bad you are immortal meaning you can let it go it follows you wherever you go and you worry that you need to go back and fix it so you can live peacefully. But even if you do the memory that took you so long can’t be erased.

animal cruelty: Tennessee walking horses

Jackie McConnell is a Tennessee walking horse trainer. He has trained horses to walk so they could win competions  for years. Until they found out that he injects chemicals into the horses body and that will cause them to feel swelling in their ankles so they could kick and do the movement he wanted them to do. they also whip the horses and hit them and treat them really bad. this is what you call animal cruelty animals feel to their living things as well so what makes other people think that they don't have feelings  Jackie McConnell should be punished for what he did he should get a fine and time in jail. because abusing of a horse or any other animal is just like abusing of a person or a kid. they should stop animal cruelty. i wish there was some way that those people would see the harm they are doing to those poor animals. but people can't whip other people  well then it should be fair and people can hurt animals. they are living things too! God made them just like he made us so they shouldn't be abused of. that's a sin!

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods has a brother that needs his help. his brother, Earl has multiple sclerosis  and he just wants a call from his brother. he left him messages and Tiger never responses. this is a bad character because no matter if you'r rich your family is more important than everything else in the world. and tiger didn't realize that he should have been there for his brother. his brother needed him and he wasn't there for him and that's the worst thing you could do: turn your back on family.

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light CTW is darkness.”

Call/ Haymore

I think the quote means that if you CTR you will get light you will be free of having to worry if you get caught. But if you CTW you will get darkness you will be worrying that you get caught and won’t be able to think straight because your conscience is bothering you.
