Student Success Statement

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."

William Penn

I think this quote means that when something is right there is no way to think it is wrong and viceversa because you cannot get confused with them both. The right thing will always be right because everyone know it is the most responsible choice. I believe that everyone knows how to distinguish the right versus the wrong because it is easy, when you do not feel good about a choice you made or you are about to do it means that it is wrong and you should stay away from that. The right thing is when you feel proud about making that decision and you would choose it over and over again. When someone says that they did not know what to choose i do not believe them because the easiest thing is always the wrong. If you reputation is on risk it means it is wrong. There are a lot of ways to distinguish the right versus the wrong.

Student Success Statement 

Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'

Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?'

Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'

And there comes a time when one must a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think this quote means that when you are about to make a decision the fist thing you have to asks yourself is if it is the right thing to do otherwise you won't be able to choose the right. I like this quote because most of the people think too much before doing something but they never ask themselves if it is right. Choosing the right may be difficult but it becomes easier if think about it constantly. When something is not safe you have to think that nothing in this life is safe you have to take risks to succeed. Vanity is not going to take you anywhere you have to deserve the respect from everyone.

I do not want to be a radiologic technologist because i do not like to use x-ray equipment. I think they have a lot of responsibilities and the job sounds hard to do. It is interesting how they can help people but it is not my dream job. I would preffer something that does not imply bones. I think radiologic technologist are too advanced in technology and that is something that i like but in a different way because i would rather use a computer than scanners and all that stuff they work with.

Student Success Statement

"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."

Abraham Lincoln

I think this quote means that if we have faith we could accomplish whatever we want. I like this quote because it encourages me to keep trying hard to become what i want.

I think it is interesting to learn how to use all the machinery that people use in this job. I like challenges and i would like to complete this one.

Student Succes Statement

The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: Self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

I think this quote means that the biggest reward that you get for doing what is right is you own criteria about what you have done. I like this quote because i believe that our biggest enemies are ourselves because no one can make a decision for us but only ourselves, so if you made a mistake it was because you chose that but if you did a big accomplishment that you had dreamed with it is your own reward for your hard work.
Working hard can drive you far and only you can reward yourself. Choose the right and reward yourself with a big sign of respect and dignity reflected in your actions and in your thoughts

Student Success Statement

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of  the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think this quote means that when you persist on doing something it becomes easier. As long as you practice you are going to master whatever you want. For example, when you are trying to learn how to sew, you better practice or you would never learn. Everything in life is about practice, no one was born knowing how to walk but as babies we persisted until we did it and now we enforce that skill. Develop your skills by practicing. You could have as many skills as you want if you persist practicing.

Student Success Statement

"Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have."

Thomas Edison, Inventor

I think this quote means that what you own is nothing if you do not have knowledge. Your knowledge is your biggest treasure. You education reflects in your actions. What you own are just pieces of molecules in form of something but that does not help you. You have the power to develop your brain as much as you want, do it. For example is you have a box full of expensive make up is worthless compared to a box full of books of different subjects. Develop new skills and walk towards the right way and improve your life.

I think this career sounds like teaching but not exactly in a classroom.

When you tell one lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you 
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect 
A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told 
And half the things you say aren't true 
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying 
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door 
On everything good

"The difference between the imposible and possible lies in DETERMINATION."

Tommy Lasorda

I think this quote means that if you have determination you can achieve whatever dream you have. I like this quote because it is realistic. I believe in this because he is a successful man. An example of this quote is my 100+ goals, it started as a classwork but now it is more like a future diary because i already accomplished some of my goals and im excited to write victory in all of them. I think a good option to follow this quote is never give up. Determination can take you to the top of the mountain and you will have a great view. It is amazing how a quote can change your whole prespective towards something. If you have determination you will succeed just like the author of this quote.

Student Success Statement

 "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

Henry David Thoreau

I think this quote means that if you have your goals set and accomplish them you are going to live the life you wrote for yourself. For example I have a notebook where i write everything that comes to my mind that i want to make it happen. Then i read them five minutes almost every day and that helps me to remember what my goals are and what i need to make it happen. Go towards your goals confidently. You have to clear your mind and set your goals then you will be able to accomplish them. If you succeed you will live whatever life you wanted to live. I like this quote because it is easy to understand and easy to follow.
