Student Success Statement #7

"If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it."

-Marcus Aurelius

Reflection: This makes me think a bit. Many people say that you can either be rich or right. The first statement I can agree that we should all do the right thing because it would bring happiness to our soul and make us better people. It just makes the world a better place to live in if we all do the right thing rather than the bad thing. If you only speak what is true then you will always avoid being the fool. Many people say things that are lies and when it comes down to them proving it, they are seen failing to support what they said and it makes them feel bad.

Four Football Players

Reflection: Four football players walk into a closed store believing it was open. They got what they needed and proceeded to the checkout to pay for their to see that no one is there. They start taking money out of their pockets to show they are going to pay for the items but no one is there to collect the money. So they just left the money on the counter including the tax and they left. I believe this was amazing. I would think that in today's world many people would have just left with their items without paying. These men were showing that they are honest people. It also sends a message to people who believe that people of dark skin are all criminals. It made me very happy to see such courage and honesty from these football players.

Chiropractors manipulate their patients’ spinal columns for treatments. They may prescribe specific diets or exercises, but not drugs. Chiropractors cannot perform surgery.

Most chiropractors establish a private practice and some provide home treatments. Others form group partnership in clinics or chiropractic hospitals.

Student Success Statement #6

"I have three messages:

1. We should never, ever give up.

2. You are never too old to chase your dreams.

3. It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team."

-Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

Reflection: It was pretty inspiring to see a person of that age overcome such a feat. She easily incorporated her messages in her swim from Cuba to Florida. When she made it to Florida, she demonstrated her will to never gave up. And she demonstrated that in her age she was still able to overcome that 53 hour swim, so it gives no reason for others to think they are too old to do a certain activity in which they have always wanted to do.
