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

When someone does wrong they get nothing. I cannot say how true that is. When you don't do your homework and you tell your teacher that you lost it or forgot it you are doing nothing in favor of yourself. Your teacher will not receive any harm from you not doing your homework contrary you will be the one being harmed because homework will benefit you and shape you to be educated and when you don't do your homework you are cheating yourself from good. Why would anyone choose to do bad and waste their life away when so much could have been achieved if they had remained on the right track they are not doing well but have no one to blame but themselves.

"It's A GREAT MOMENT when some has the character to step up and do the right thing at the right time." - Pam Knox

 

This is an excellent quote by Pam Knox. What this quote means is that one of the greatest moments is when someone has the courage to do the right thing at the right time. There isn’t anything else better that that. It will feel good knowing you did the right thing. You will feel like a really good person, and that is the best feeling in the world. For example if someone is getting blamed for something they didn't do and you step up and say the truth. If you wouldn't of have said it that person would have been accused of something he/she did not do. You will feel great and that person will thank you. You always have to do what is right. Have the courage to do what is right 24/7.

Student Success Statement

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: place me behind prison walls-- walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle No, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser

This is a very nice quote. To be able to keep your ‘word of honor’ is really great. I believe that ‘word of honor’ means promise. We have done another same quote like this. Where we must keep our promises. Not keeping our promises makes us a bad and not a loyal person. Karl is showing us that he is a man who can keep promises. Even if it means for him to be stuck in a circle for the rest of his life. That’s a good man, and us people should learn from this man. ‘Word of honor’ is something we should be respectful of and pass it on.
