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. 

Student Success Statement #42

Student Success Statement

“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.

Student Success Statement #41

Student Success Statement

“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

“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.

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.

Student Success Statement #39

Student Success Statement

“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.
