Student Success Statement

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

Margaret Chase Smith 

Reflection:

Even though people might judge you for choosing the right, it's the right thing to do. people might make fun of you for doing the right thing, but you should be proud of yourself, because when you choose the right, you feel happiness inside of you. If you keep on choosing the right instead of choosing the wrong, you will find happiness in life.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens: Habit 1

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(by Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

"Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you."

James Freeman Clarke

Doing all the good things has its recompense, and choosing the right has that recompense that everyome wants in life, happiness. Happiness comes to you only when you choose the right, because all the things you do bring a smile to your face. It makes you feel like a better person just by doing the right thing. If you feel happiness when you do something right, then you know that you are on the right path. If you don't feel that you are finding happiness by choosing the right, keep doing the right things and you will eventually find happiness. Let happiness with you, and you will have a very happy life.

Two examples of finding happiness by choosing the right are:

1) Helping kids that are in need. You find that happiness when you realize that you are helping kids who need food and shelter, and you giving it to them is a wonderful thing.

2) Helping kids receive their education. Happiness comes when they graduate because you helped them to not give up on their dreams and to succeed all the way, so they could get a brighter future.

"There is no set path, just follow your heart."

Anon

Reflection:

Many people believe there is a path they need to take in order to make their lives much happier, but there is only one path that person they must take, and that path is in their heart. Your heart only wants you to do what's right, and if you listen to it, it will lead you to a path of happiness. Your heart will always be there when you need it, and if you have a good heart, good things will come out of it.
