“Kindness is the essence of greatness.”
-Joseph B. Wirthlin

I thinks this means that kindness is the key to greatness, being kind can give you good luck and it means you are a CTR person. But if you are not kind you will most likely get bad luck, one example, of being kind is ; you are at market and a old lady need help carrying her stuff but she needs to get it in the car then a nice CTR person comes and helps her with those stuff and put it in her car. Another example, is when you are walking and you see a homeless man/women in the streets and needs money or food, you can give the homeless person food and money that is a sign that is a sign that you are kind, and CTR person. Kindness is a big word that describes someone that is willing to help you without even asking them for help.

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

-Marcus Aurelius

I think that Mr.Aurelius was right because if it isn’t true then why should you say it or do it.Don’t do something that is really bad and wrong.If you know that it is wrong then don’t do it. Everyone know that if something is wrong then you don’t do it.If you don’t like the bad things then don’t do it just because your friends say that it is ok because it is not ok for you or your friends.Don’t do the things that you don’t want to do just because your friends say that it is good and ok.Never do the wrong things because it is really bad and it’s in’t ok for you to do that.We all need to be good people that do the right things. Always be A CTR person in your life. Never give up on yourself. That was my Student Success Statement.

“Doing what is right ,fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

- Chick Moorman

This statement shows the how a  victory is not a victory unless won fairly. There is no real happiness when you  win  by cheating. Being honorable and doing what is right is much more meaningful than winning or losing. Happiness is only accomplished when doing what is right.

So People must think about doing right things and not be interested in what they will gain or lose because it’s more important to learn about the good things you did and not take credit or recompense for the situation. I think people should be more honest and try to improve everyday and be honorable.

“Honesty is the best policy”

-Mark Twain

This quote means that the best policy is honesty, how is honesty the best policy? Well honesty is the right thing to do, be honest about everything, lying is not the best thing you can do, you’re just gonna feel more awful and you’ll constantly think about all the time, that's why honesty is the best thing to do, being honest is the best way to show who you are, it shows the good that you have in you, it's kind of like earning someone's trust. For example be honest that you didn’t finish your homework because you didn’t understand the problem, don’t let it slide, be honest to others.

These are the 3 major keys to living your life with integrity:

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.

-W.Clement Stone

I think he is trying to tell us that you should choose the right every time because that is going to make you a integrity person and everyone is going to like that kind of person. Another thing is that you should be able to say no when you know that it is not right thing to do because it may affect you in life when you choose the wrong. An example would be you go to a party but they are drinking and smoking and they offer you to join them. What should you do say yes or say no and leave the party. I think the best choice would be to say no and leave the party because saying yes can cause a lot of trouble and damage. To live a life of integrity you should also be able to tell the truth and know when you can speak the truth. An example would be, your mom lets you go hang out with your friends but she doesn’t know that your friends are going to be driving and you guys are still under age to be driving. Once you get home your mom asks how was your night and you respond to her good. What should you do tell your mom that you guys went out for a drive or just leave to your bedroom. I think you should tell your mom what you really did tonight. One more thing you will need is to always do the right thing because it will always be the right thing to do, instead of going the opposite way. Be a CTR person and once you know it you’re going to be proud of yourself.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”

I think that everyone should be a CTR person so that can be good and not bad people.They don’t have to be CTW people.Everyone should want to be good and not bad people.In think that we should not be so  mad everyone that tries to help us out of the bad thing because they are helping us get better.We should all be happy. Happiness makes us feel really good inside. We should all be happy for each other and we should stop smoking,and drinking. We shouldn’t hang out with the wrong crowed we should hang out with the good crowed.Everyone should be good people in this world. That was my Student Success Statement.This statement shows how the people you associate with contribute to the person you become. Choosing to hang with the wrong people, who stay out  late,smoke ,drink alcohol., can get you into big problems or  trouble. However, when you hang out with responsible people, people with know to  trust you. People  will  acknowledge you as a person who is wise,responsible and some whom they can trust.

Gainesville vs. Vanguard

In this video gainesvilles basketball team had no fans. Gainesville high school is a juvenile jail. The basketball team is able to play other schools once a year. Vanguard did not want to go against a team with no fans because it would be awkward. So they decided to tell their fans to cheer for Gainesville. In my opinion that was the best sportsmanship i have ever seen. That was a nice thing to do for a team that never had fans. 

Sportsmanship

"The best recreation is to do good."

-William Penn

I think that Mr.Penn was right because you do need to feel good everyday that you wake up in the morning for school,work,or every if you are staying in at home.I think that everyone should wake up feel very good about the day and everyone else also himself,because everyone needs to be happy. I think that we should all look good and feel good because I know that I always am.If you feel good then don’t hide it at all just be yourself. I think that to become happy you need to be a CTR person every day. That was my Student Success Statement.This statement shows how people the best way to feel good is by doing good.Doing the right thing is the best thing to do when trying to relax. There is no other thing that will make you  feel good as it does when you do the right thing. Many people do not know that by doing the right thing they will be happy.
