Student Success Statement by B.C. Forbes

Student Success Statement

"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or legal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."

B.C. Forbes

Reflection:

This statement  teaches us a lot about honesty, because honesty is a key to being successful in life. A person who is honest will always tell the truth and never lie to their family, friends, and neighbors. An honest person will always be loyal. A person who always lies and never tells the truth is not an honest person, and that person will never go far in life. An honest person will get a lot of doors opened for them to live a successful life.

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:

What this statement is trying to state is that telling the truth is always the right thing to do. For example, if you saw someone do something wrong, and they tell you top lie about it, and the teachers ask you what happened, don't lie. If you lie, you are just becoming part of the problem, but if you tell the truth, people will trust you. People don't trust liars, only honest people.

Student Success Statement by John Wooden

Student Success Statement

"The Three Nevers"

Never lie

Never cheat

Never steal

John Wooden

Reflection:

What John Wooden is trying to teach us hear is how to become good people. If we lie to people, we are not being honest to others. If we cheat, we will just be liars of our own lives. If we steal, we are people who don't care about life. If we don't do any of these things, however, we will be trustworthy people. We will be CTR champions.

Student Success Statement

"Character is higher than intellect."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

Our character show what kind of people we are. If we choose the right, then we have a good character. A good character shows that we are honest, respectful, and responsible. Also, it shows that we follow the rules. If we choose the wrong, then we have a bad character. A bad character shows that we are not responsible, liars, and it shows people can't trust us. A person with a good character is a CTR champion.
