Student Success Statement

"I would rather prefer to fail with honor than win by cheating."- Sophocles


 I agree with Sophocles statement. If you win by cheating you will feel guilty because you did not work hard to achieve that win. For example, there was a horse racer that cheated in a final race by electrocuting his horse. His horse when originally in 5th place, but when it came to the last lap his horse suddenly passed all the horse and was in first place. A picture taken before the finish line shows Roman Chapa with an electric shocker and he is now accused of cheating. An example of failing with honor comes from Malik Stewart. It was the state championship wrestling match. One of the players wanted to win because his dad was battling cancer. That player ended up winning and what his opponent did shocked everyone. Instead of Malik Stewart leaving the match angry he congratulated his opponent on his win and went over to his dad and gaveSee the source image him a hug.

This book is about a guy named Guy Montag that is a fireman but instead of putting out fires he sets them. The book is set in the 24th century and books are banned because they make people think. After about 10 years working as a fireman he meets 17 year old Clarisse McClellan who makes him realize that his job is wrong. Also, over the Thanksgiving break I attended a Key Club event. In this event I helped out with the counting of how many toys were left over from last years toy drive. This year city council plans to give away 5,000 toys in their annual toy drive so I was asked help with inventory. It was a great experience and I would definatly do it again.
