Student Success Statement #61

Student Success Statement

“The ultimate choice you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others- the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. The Ultimate Choice is: to be a CTR Person – to always Choose The Right.”


Reflection:


This statement has been repeated to me for a year now to build common sense, a skill for humanitarian belief, a push to strive for academic success, a push to pursue a spiritual connection with myself and to become a better human being overall. This quote and this saying will probably be attached to me forever since it’s an easy quote to remember.

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-          Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:


I think what Carlyle is trying to say is that a man without a goal is absolutely nothing. He has no ambition. He will go nowhere in life. Just like a ship without a rudder, he won’t go anywhere. He won’t get anywhere he wants to because he has no goal or ambition. There’s no purpose to it.

Student Success Statement

“If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. Conclusion: If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.”

-          Chinese Proverb


Reflection:


What this proverb is basically trying to explain is that if there in beauty, harmony, and order in the person, that creates a sense of character. Those are the pillars to the Chinese. It is similar to our proverbs in a way because they both have to have peace and beauty and order within them to be a good character.

Six Pillars of Character

“I would prefer to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

-          Sophocles

Reflection:


It is always better to fail at something and to admit that you did and own up to your failure and to your mistakes or else it’ll haunt you for a good amount of time. It’ll follow you around and it will make you feel guilty and you’ll have to confess to it sooner or later.

-          Dan Dierdorf

What Dan Dierdorf means by this statement is that if he does things correctly, he will succeed.

Student Success Statement

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”

-          Dennis Prager

Reflection:


I think what Prager means by this quote is that if you have good values, which are all it really matters. That’s what being a CTR person and an academic champion all is about. Prager means that it’s all where it really matters. If you have good values, then you are a good person.

Video Response:


After watching the video about Prager’s explanation of what good values is, I still don’t know if I agree with him. I mean, yes I agree that good values means to have good morals and manners, but he had this weird example about saving either your dog and a human being. Honestly, I don’t think that’s morals or good values I think that’s a quick thinking moment you have to decide in. In my opinion I would have saved both.  The human can hold onto the dog while I hold onto the human to swim back to shore. I see where Prager is coming from and that’s okay.

She is saying that if you do the right, not only will it make you feel so much better and give off a physical sense of happiness and reward, inside you’ll be able to feel it too.

“Dare to stand alone.”

-          Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:


I think what Monson means by this statement is to not be afraid to stand up what you believe in, for what you is trying to protect, or what you are trying to enforce. Never be afraid to stand up alone while others follow along. It’s good to stand out. That’s why you don’t look the same as other people. Push yourself to be different. Stand alone.

Video Response

In a video we watched during class today, we witnessed a miracle. We experienced the life changing action of forgiveness. What happened was a young man back in 2003, named Eric Smallridge, was proven guilty of two DUIs and charged of manslaughter. He crashed into two 20 year old women, Megan and Lisa. He was sentenced to 22 years in jail. Then, after a few emotional letters here and back, Renee, Megan's mother, forgave him. She ended up convincing Lisa's parents as well. They all went down tot he court and demanded to cut Eric's time in half and was released early. Now from this experience, both of the families and Eric's mental and emotional health have been fixed and they feel like themselves again. This is a story everyone should learn from.

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-          Alan Paton

Reflection:


I think what Paton means is to stop feeling angry or resentful at someone for an offense, flaw, and/or mistake. Which is totally fine, and it makes complete sense. Paton wants us to forgive our evil doers because of an incident that happened on accident. He wants us to move along with our lives and to release all the pent up energy we still have left. It’s a good way to finish things off; to come to terms with whomever.

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

-          Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection:


I think what Theodore Roosevelt meant by saying the best thing you can do is the right thing, is that every time we are faced with a decision we must either choose the right one or the wrong one. We might not like the decision but it will be the best decision. Also that it doesn’t mean that the type of situation you are in, it matters how you will strive for it.

In the video we just saw is about an old man who practice basic mainstream medicine. His name is DR. Bob. He charges absolutely no fees and he tries his best to give back to the low poverty income community he both lives in and works in.

They all love him for being such a good contributor to the community.

“Make each day your master piece. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better, and over a period of time you become a lot better.”

-          John Wooden

Reflection:


I think what Wooden meant by this quote is that you have to give a little of yourself. You have to push yourself to be the best. Little by little. It all determines how much you want it. You’ll become the best if you kept trying and trying. As long as you give yourself a little push you can be so much better.

Video Response: Western Oregon vs. Central Washington

Video Response

In the video we just watched, we witnessed sportsmanship.  Mallory and Liz from the opposite team helped carry Sara cross the bases around the baseball diamond and touched the bases with her left leg. This was her first home run in all of her softball career. She fell and couldn’t pick herself up because she landed on her knee. Sara has a thing about people touching her and her coach became worried because she knew about Sara’s condition. The opposing team’s players asked her if it’s fine if they can lift Sara and the coach responded saying yes. Then they went over to Sara asking for her consent. With her approval the two players lifted her and carried her across the bases to the dugout. This was a great experience to witness because it showed me how people should be treating each other during games. Everyone should learn from this video.

World Records

World Records

“Most apples crushed with the bicep in one minute”

This world record was held by Lindsay Lindberg from Milan, Italy. It took place March 3rd of 2014. The most apples crushed with the bicep in one minute are 10 and she did that.

“Heaviest birth – triplets”

The heaviest babies were a combined weight of 22 pounds. Each child weighed an estimate of 7 pounds. The mother, Michelle Lee Wilson from Englewood USA, was awarded with this record on July 29th, 2003.  

“Longest time holding a vertical person overhead”

The longest time to hold a person above the head in partner stunt that required one hand only was 1 minute and 16 seconds and was achieved by Markus Ferber and Clarissa Beyelschmidt from Germany. They were announced that they had the title in Rome, Italy on 11 March 2010.


What is my favorite world record?

My favorite world record would have to be the baby weight record. It fascinated me because of how much the mother can be able to push out all three heavy babies. Like that must be one strong muscle to be able to push out all those kids! And to raise all three, someone give that mother a trophy.

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.

-          Theodore Hesburgh

Reflection:


This quote means that when we make a decision we make sure that we make the right one, instead of choosing the one that doesn’t lead us into danger and unfortunate causes. Sometimes the decision we make is believed from our gut. And normally it’s right. We have to start making all the shaming and illegal uses unpopular and start making an actual welcoming community. We have to start choosing the right.

Free My Wardrobe

Free My Wardrobe

As you all know, summer is approaching. The heat has been extremely unbearable these last few days. Which means less layers of clothing will be worn. Which also means short shorts and spaghetti straps will be worn by girls. Now let’s be honest here. I love short shorts and spaghetti straps; I find comfort in them especially when it’s a hot day. However, what I don’t appreciate is how my teachers and the administration sexualize my outfit. I don’t want to be stopped in the hallways and a teacher, female or male, and tell me to cover up my shoulders when it’s like 90 degrees outside. My shoulders are not disrupting anybody. My shoulders should DEFINITELY not be a problem in an area where we have to concentrate on a lesson. Especially when the teacher interrupts the lesson just to scold me. I have every right to wear what I want to wear. If a male teacher has a problem with my legs and my shoulders then we do have a problem. Stop sexualizing women and women’s interest in clothing. It’s hot, you don’t see us complaining about males taking off their shirt in the middle of PE. Free my wardrobe, free my rights. No justice, no peace.

St. Patrick's Day

Olivet Eagles Football Team

Video Response:

In this video I recently watched, it was a video showing great sportsmanship and equality. On this middle school football team, there was one kid with a mental disability. He never scored a touchdown before in his life. What the football team did was so memorable to this young boy's life. The football team tried going as close as possible to the one yard line, before the touchdown area. They brought out the young boy and when the he said hike, he quickly ran to the touchdown area. His parents were so grateful for the love and care the football team has given the boy. This is a great act of good character.

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”

-          George Chapman

Reflection:


When people say “Oh my god, this person is so amazing”, they don’t really mean it unless the “amazing” person is actually doing a good deed or has done one. A truly great person is someone who knows how to be an actual CTR person. Someone who does great things for their community is an example of a CTR person. Someone who will work they’re very best to strive to be the very best. I think that’s what Chapman means.

“Many think that the short term gain will be the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

-          George Mitchell

Reflection:

Everything Mitchell has said in the quote above is basically complete truth. Choose the right by not doing drugs and not cheating. You may feel the victory and pride at first, but you will have to do the time when everyone finds out. In the long run, it’ll be something everyone will remember you by. Being a cheater is nothing to be proud of. Neither is being a drug abuser. After a while, guilt will catch up to you.

Student Success Statement #40

Student Success Statement

“I won’t cheat.”

-          Dale Murphy

Reflection:


I think what Dale Murphy means by this is no matter what the situation you are in we will do it with honesty and dignity because it is fair and it is the right thing to do.  Cheating will literally get you nowhere in life. Maybe a few steps forward, but then it will send you way back after a long run. Trust me, you don’t want that. You will get nothing out of cheating.

Reflection:


I wouldn’t like to become an Oncologist because I don’t think it suits me and I don’t like seeing that many people in pain. There is only a certain amount of things I can do and I don’t think this is one of them.

“Character Matters Most.”

-          Dale Murphy

Reflection:


I think what Dale Murphy is trying to say is that character is the most important keys of being a CTR person. Good character defines who you are, where you came from, who you represent. It’s an amazing blessing to have good character. Easy things will come your way with good character.
