the best thing you can do is the right thing

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: I agree with the former president Roosevelt, the best thing you can do is the right thing. One reason is because why would you want to do something the wrong way, if you can do it the right way the first time. Even if you know that the wrong way is easier than the right way. Eventually the right way will help you in the near future. One example can be cheating, if you decide to cheat on a test instead of doing it the right way. In the future when your teacher wants to do a review on the same thing, you won’t know what it’s about and you’ll end up failing that review. Another good example can be, something like if your friends decide to go to a movie on thursday night but you know you have a test tomorrow. The best and most productive thing you can do is stay home and study for that test. That is what this quote is trying to say, to always go with what you know is right when

Act well your part; there all honor lies

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."

Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope is trying indicate that the only way to honor yourself, is to act well. So if you don't act well then you don't honor yourself. I disagree with this quote by Alexander Pope because people who act well are usually just scared of what people might think. I do agree that by acting well you do honor yourself but thats not the only thing that honor lies on. I just totally disagree on the fact that Alexander Pope thinks that all honor lies in acting well. By acting well its like you've been condition to not do what you feels. Like a slave and thats by I disagree with Alexander's quote.

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.

IDP Experience

IDP Experience

The IDP was horrible because I literally said my name like five times, that's how nerves I was. I kept stuttering in all my sentences and I couldn't pronounce some of the words. I guess it was because I didn't study or practice either. My  team members did great and i think they saved my butt. Our creative element was a live skit. I was kinda nervous but when I got up there i got into it.

If we do what's right, we have no need to fear

Student Success Statement

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear."

-Evan Stephens

If you always do what is right than you have nothing to fear at all. If your doing something wrong then you feel guilty and scared. That you will get caught doing something wrong. A good example about not fearing when your doing something good, would be like if you have a essay due tomorrow. But you finished it so you can just relax and not worry. But there might be a kid who hasn't done the essay and is all scared and worried. If he would have just did it earlier he wouldn't have to worry if you will finish it in time or not. In the other hand the kid who did finish it in time, has no need to be worried or scared. That is the way I look at this statement. I agree with Evan Stephens, his statement is completely true.
