Student Success Statement by Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Student Success Statement

"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.

"Be always sure you're right, then go ahead."

Davy Crockett

1786-1836

Reflection:

When you're about to do something, always make sure to figure out if it is right or wrong. For example, if you're going to help someone out, and you know it's the right thing, then do it. If you're thinking about doing something wrong, and you know it's wrong and not right, then don't do it. That way, you can always choose the right instead of choosing the wrong.

3)  Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass—it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives direction, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4)  Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), you mind, your heart, and your soul.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

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.

Student Success Statement by Wilford Woodruff

Student Success Statement

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection:

When you decide to choose the wrong, you gain nothing for doing it, instead you lose things for doing the wrong thing. For example, if you decide to bully others, you lose respect from other people. Also, if you decide to steal a from a jewelry store, you lose trust from the law. Everything you thought you gained from choosing the wrong, you lose instead.

Report: Disqualified for Criminal Past

Report: Disqualified for Criminal Past

He was wrong to hide his past a secret, especially all the things he did wrong. If he would've told the workers at "American Idol" about his criminal past, they would have probably made out a deal, but instead, he decided to stay low. He didn't tell the truth, which caused him to be disqualified. In the end, he ended up being a sore loser. Now, he has to think about what he did in his past so he won't make that mistake ever again.
