Student Success Statement by Confucius

Student Success Statement

"To see what is right and not do it is want of courage."

Confucius

Reflection:

If you know what is the right thing and not do it, then you do not have courage. For example, if you are going to win a game and you know that you are going to win without cheating but then you cheat, then you have made yourself a bad person because you knew what was the right thing to do in that situation and you didn't do it. Now, you will carry that guilt with you for a long time. If we do the right thing, then we will not have any guilt and we will always be happy people.

Student Success Statement by Robert E. Lee

Student Success Statement

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity."

Robert E. Lee

Reflection:

Choosing the right can be really tough at some point in our lives, but even if we have to suffer, we still have to do the right thing. For example, if we choose the wrong and we have to tell the truth even though it means we will get in trouble, we still have to do the right thing and tell someone. Once we do, we will suffer, but we won't feel that guilt inside of us.

Report: Man returns stolen money from Sears

Report: Man returns stolen money from Sears

Reflection:

I think this is one of the most heartwarming stories in the history of CTR. He stole that money 60 years ago, and he returned it even though he should have returned it immediately, but what he did is extraordinary because he might have been feeling that guilt inside of him for a long time so he decided to make things right. This man is truly a CTR champion.

Student Success Statement by Ezra Taft Benson

Student Success Statement

" You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra Taft Benson

Reflection:

Every time you do something that isn't correct, you shouldn't feel like if you have done the right thing. For example, if you hurt someone instead of helping him, you shouldn't feel happy about doing that. Every person who has chosen the wrong feels a guilt inside of them that tell them that wasn't the right thing to do. Instead, you should feel happy that you have chosen the right, and not chosen the wrong. Next time you do something that is wrong, don't feel right about it.
