Student Success Statement #26

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

- Aristotle

Reflection: If one does no teach the heart then one would never be able to succeed. One needs the heart to give yourself a drive to wake up every morning to know that one will look to succeed in what the heart loves. It'll wake you up to tell you that today may be a big day. It also teaches moral values. Without the knowledge of these values then one would not be able to succeed because one would not be able to create connections and network with people causing life to be nearly impossible.

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.

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.

Student Success Statement #23

"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.
