I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right

Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

-Dean Smith

Dean Smith is trying to teach us that it's not always about winning but also about doing the right thing. He also means that being remember isn't as good as doing the right thing. Dean Smith is trying to teach us to do whats right more than anything else. Dean Smith's quote also means that doing whats right is always the best choice. Doing the right thing can't compare to winning a championship. When he says that he was trying to do the right thing, he doesn't just mean winning but also by making all his players feel special.

lead your life the RIGHT WAY

Student Success Statement

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, then Karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

-DR. Randy Pausch

           I kinda agree with Dr. Randy Pausch because I don't believe by living a good live you can achieve your dreams. I also don't believe that your dreams will come to you. I believe that if you work hard then your dreams will come and you'll be able to achieve your goals. What I do believe about Dr. Pausch's quote is that if you do live the right way then Karma will take care of itself. This quote is pretty much saying is that if you live the right way then you can have anything you want. Also because Dr. Pausch believe in Karma and what goes around, comes around. That's why he pretty much says that if you live the RIGHT WAY then you don't have to worry because Karma will take care of you.

Educating the body, mind, and character

"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation."

-Theodore Roosevelt

The quote pretty much means that the best thing you can do for this country is teach others what to think or how to respond "properly". I disagree with President Roosevelt, teaching people how to think and respond is the best thing you can do for this country. Maybe teaching the kids and giving them options on how their bodies should think and respond. The quote also means that the best thing you can do for this country is teach the children and i agree with that. Just not that they should teach us how to act, think, or be a human beings. 

Take responsibility

"Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being."

- Mr.C.S. Haymore

This quote made by Mr.C.S. Haymore means that you shouldn't let others be the ones who tell you what to do. Also that you should always take responsibility for all your actions and never blame anyone else. You shouldn't let anyone take your spirit away. Don't ever blame anyone else for not being healthy. Like for example you want to lose weight but you keep saying you can't because already made plans. Your just making excuses. Another example would be something like if your not where you want to be because "Its to HARD" your just being lazy and irresponsible. You should never let someone hold you back not even yourself. Your spirit can be what ever you want it to be. Your the only one that can control your body, mind, and spirit so don't blame others if your not where you want to be.

COURAGE

Student Success Statement

"We need the COURAGE to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the COURAGE to Stop what we shouldn't do."

-Richard L. Evans

I agree with what Richard L. Evans is saying because you have to be courage to start doing stuff but also to continue doing them. Others usually start something but don't end it. It takes COURAGE and hunger to continue doing the right thing. Let's say for example you have a game in 3 days but you haven't practice at all. You have to choice to either START and CONTINUE practicing for the game for all the other games to come. But it takes COURAGE to do that. Just like it takes COURAGE to stop doing something you know your not suppose to be doing. Like for example hanging out with you friends instead of practicing because your ashamed what your friends might say.

School Break Days

School Break Days

I spent my vacation days mostly with my family but also in the park/school playing basketball. I also went to Disneyland like 4 times and in the fourth time it started to get dull. I had a couple of basketball games during the break one of them was against H.P. high school. I went to my aunt's house and I pretty much just hanged out with my family. The best part of my vacation would have to be the last day I went to Disneyland with my family. During the break I watched the new Star Wars movie.
