Student Success Statement 

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

                 

If a ship doesn't have a rudder then it has no direction, therefore it has no purpose. This is a perfect example of a man without a goal. If we don't set our own goals then it is obvious that we really won't know where to go and not knowing will lead to nothing and nowhere. That is what will become of our lives if we don't set our goals.

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. 
                           Chinese Proverb

I do agree with this proverb because beauty and harmony combine well with each other. I don't think there could be one without the other. The same goes for order and peace. There wouldn't be any peace without order. Wherever there is beauty there will be peace. 

                 "The Six Pillars of Character"

The six pillars are: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship

1. Trustworthiness is Be honest, Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal, Be reliable, do what you say you’ll do, Have the courage to do the right thing, Build a good reputation, Be loyal, stand by your family, friends

2. Respect is Use good manners, not bad language, Deal

peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements.

3. Responsibility is Do what you are supposed to do, Plan ahead, keep on trying! Always do your best, Be self-disciplined  Think before you act consider the consequences.

4. Fairness is Play by the rules, Take turns and share, Be open-minded; listen to others,  Don’t take advantage of others, Don’t blame others carelessly, Treat all people fairly

5. Caring is Be kind, Be compassionate and show you care, Express gratitude

6. Citizenship is Do your share to make your school and community better, Cooperate, Get involved in community affairs, Be a good neighbor,  Obey laws and rules, Respect authority , Protect the environment, Volunteer


Personally I think that all these pillars should be followed and I think it would help us communicate in a better way if we all followed these rules.

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

                                                         
                                                                        Sophocles



I agree that some of us would rather fail with honor than to win by cheating. I think that even if you win but you do it effortlessly because you decide to cheat then it doesn't mean much. But if you fail even after how hard you tried then you failed with honor and that's better than anything.

                           "Memorial Day" 

Memorial day is a holiday in the United States for 

remembering the people who died while serving 

in the country's armed forces. The purpose of

memorial day is to honor our dead. Memorial day

is on May 25. On memorial Day lots of people 

visit cemeteries and memorials. It is also 

traditional to fly the flag of the United States at 

half-mast from dawn until noon.    

                   Student Success Statement 

   "The most important thing you will ever have is                                good values."

                              
                                                                           Dennis Prager

       I believe this is a very important statement because good values are what define you. Without good values what would be so important about you like what would you live by. I think good values help keep you in line and stable. What you feel is very different from the values of reality. You can't have many things that complete your happiness if you don't treasure your values. Sometimes you have to remember that it isn't always about how you feel it is also about valuing the life that surrounds you.

  "Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."

                                 
                                                                      Wilford Woodruff

It is true that you gain absolutely nothing when you only do wrong. If everything you do is wrong then you're never going to have a career, have genuine friends, find a soul-mate, or have a family. Drugs, harassment, lying, stealing, and violence will never gain you anything so you'll never be anything in life but trash. 
                                                             

                          LAUSD: Families

• English Learning
• Parent Bill of Right
• School Volunteer Program
• They can access their child's grades and attendance.

    

These services would benefit me because if my mom were to learn more English, it would be easier for us to communicate.

I think my mom would like to access my grades and attendance that way she's always on the know for my grades.

Summary: Forgiveness

A convict named Eric Smallridge was found guilty of DUI Manslaughter. While driving at twice the 

legal limit for alcohol, he hit a car carrying Lisa 

Dickson and Meagan Napier. He killed both girls 

at the age of 20 years old. He was supposed to be 

held at prison for 22 years but Meagan's mother 

forgave the convict and he was let go. That was 

very nice of Meagan's mother Renee but I know 

that I wouldn't do that for sure. I know what it's 

like to lose a loved one and If anything I would

make the person that was the cause of their death 

pay for what they have made me lose.

     "When a deep injury is done to us, we never                         recover until we forgive."

                                                              
                                                                       Alan Platon



I don't agree with this quote at all. I agree if it were a simple mistake but if it's a deep injury, something that has caused you to feel pain and made you cry then i don't think forgiveness should be allowed in the situation. I have had so many people do things to me that I will never ever forgive because If I did I would allow myself to get hurt again and the whole point is to stay away from pain. For example I will never forgive the boys and girls that bullied me during elementary and middle school. I will never forgive the girl that claimed to be my best friend and would flirt with my crush and ended up kissing him. I will never forgive that same douche-bag who put me through so much pain with all the things he did to me and how much he made me cry. He is a horrible person whom I will never give my pity to ever again. He should be ashamed and he makes me feel disgusted. I will never forgive him.

                      "Dare to stand alone."

                       
                                                                       Thomas S. Monson

I think that you sometimes do have to stand alone because people are not always going to have the same opinion as you and their opinion may be the wrong choice while your opinion is the right choice. And you might want to stand alone instead of go with them because there's a possibility that they will lead you down the wrong path.

                            BookCon 2015    
Book con is an event that I've been wanting to go to since March. Book con is when fans get to interact and ask questions to the Authors of popular books, autographing sessions, 
storytelling, pod casts, special screenings, literary quiz shows and so much more.  Unfortunately, it will be held in NYC. I don't have the money to go all the way over there. I really wish I was able to go I mean I would do anything to get the money I need to travel there and then travel back home. It is also on a Sunday which would put me in a tough place because the next day is a school day. If I had the opportunity to go to book con this year I would go to the panel on Sunday May 31st called "Vlogger to Author." In that panel will be some of my favorite youtubers such as Joey Graceffa, Shane Dawson, and Connor Franta, talking about their memoirs. Sadly I will not get that chance and I'll have to wait for another opportunity to meet my idols.
