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.

"Enthusiasm makes the difference"-Dr. Norman Vincent Peale I agree with Dr. Peale because it all depends on how you approach things. When you are excited to try something new you will be glad with the outcome.  When you are sad on trying something new you go with a bad attitude and and don't end up enjoying the experience. I believe this quote is a life lesson. You should always approach things with enthusiasm.

I agree with Maesar's quote because you must always keep your word of honor. When you tell someone that you will do something you must keep your word of honor and do what you said you would do. As a kid you never really keep your word of honor because you don't think much of it. For example, as a kid you tell your parents that you will clean your room, but you never do. As you get older then you start to realize how important it is to keep your word of honor. The more you keep your word, the more people will trust you.

 "Kindness  is the essence of greatness."- Joseph B. Wirthlin I believe that Wirthlin's statement is true. When you are kind and caring to an individual you become a great person. One sees you differently when you are kind. They see that you are kind, caring, and respectful person rather than a person that is selfish and only cares about themselves. One example of kindness being an essence of greatness is giving up your seat for someone on the bus. If you see you someone is struggling to carry their items or is having trouble walking or standing you should be kind and offer them your seat. Another example of showing kindness is helping out the less fortunate. If you can afford something they can't like food or clothes be kind and give them some. It doesn't have to be new clothes or bought food it could be used clothes that is in good condition and a home made meal.
