Student Success Statement #25

"CTR connects you to happiness and success-CTW disconnects."

- Mr. Haymore

Reflection: I believe CTR can connect you to happiness because you will feel morally sane that you asre doing the right thing. But I do not believe it can guarantee my success. The world around me and the one we see in the news and other media outlets shows that some successfull people aren't necessarily living the high way. But they still feel happy because they have what they need to survive in this horrible, corrupt earth.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

I think I would like to be an EMT because it seems very important to save lives. Especially since I have had two EMTs pick me up before to transfer me to another hospital. They were extremely nice and courteous.

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."

-  Alex Linares

Reflection: It is true. One should never debate it. Whenever you do something, you should know that the right way to do it would always be right. It shouldn't matter however the outcome because you know you did the right thing and it stays with you until you die.

I do not believe I would like to be an electroneurodiagnostic technologist because I don't really believe that I have an interest in a career in the medical field. It is because I really love music and technology so I am looking into a career involving some sort of media.

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company"

- ANON

Reflection: One really wants to be a good person because it will bring them happiness. When someone surrounds themselves with bad people they would only strive for one thing which would be to become accepted. It doesn't matter what group it is, you will always want to be accepted. And if you surround yourself with bad people, then one would only learn to do bad things. If a boy is raised by wolves, he would learn to be a wolf.

Student Success Statement #22

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

- Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: He is saying that if some does something unethical then it would be impossible for one to feel as if they did something right. It all depends on what perpective you look at it from. If you do something wrong for the ultimate goal of selfishness and greed then it would be impossible to feel right. But say if a man fights back to a person that has oppressing them then it is right. It doesn't matter if they are rebeling. They are rebelling for control of their rights as human beings.
