Student Success Statement
''Character is higher than intellect.''
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What Ralph Waldo Emerson is saying is that character is key. Everything you do involves character. An example of having good character is if you're helping a elder cross the street. That's showing good character because you're helping someone and you're being caring. You're taking some time away to help someone and do good. An example of having bad character is when the teacher calls on you to do a problem and you respond back with attitude saying no and how you didn't even raise your hand. This example that I will say is an example of having good character and knowing your intelligent. Lets say that you're a good person as if you do all your homework, you help the environment after school, and you're good at playing basketball. Then there's this other kid who does bad in school, never listens, but is also better at basketball. The coaches will most likely pick the person with better attitude because in order to be in a sport you one need to be good at it and two you need to have good character. So doing good is whats best for everyone.

Student Success Statement

A choice: Poverty or Prosperity ''I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.'' Dr. Ben Carson What Dr. Ben Carson is trying to say is poverty is not a big deal. Its okay if you live with poverty. But if you dislike poverty then you should change that by working really hard. The only way you will change poverty is by having a good education. Education is key because without it you wouldn't be able to get a good job. Plus, you must know your stuff and you must work really hard. For example, Dr. Ben Carson lived in poverty. Now he did not like it but he said that he wanted to change that. He was also not a very good student in his class. Then he started to study more and read and sooner or later he started to study to be a surgeon. After being a surgeon he decided to run for presidential candidate. SO now hes not in poverty anym...

Student Success Statement ''When you Tell One Lie, it leads to Another'' Paul Hatch Today we learned about Paul Hatch quote/statement, ''When you tell one lie, it leads to another.'' This quote is telling you that you should speak the truth because it's the right thing to do. Even if you get in trouble when you speak the truth it's still good that at least you didn't lie. An example of this statement is when you steal a sweet and your mom or dad ask you where you got it from and you say you bought it or your friend gave it to you. You are basically telling a lie and coming up with another. Telling one lie and then leading to another is like if you're trying to cover it up. You can never cover one lie up because it's going to come out someway or another. Lying isn't good at all. You're not just lying to someone, you are also lying to yourself. So choose the right and don't lie.

Thanksgiving Week This Thanksgiving I didn't really do much. During the week I went out with my best friend to the pacific and we went to stores and tried on clothes. On Thanksgiving day my aunt and cousins came to my house and we ate posole. Then when it was like 10 they left and I went with my mom to target for black Friday. It was packed and there was a long waiting line for when you pay. We were there until midnight. I was very tired. What I mostly did at home since I didn't really go out was be on my phone and watch Netflix and eat. The show that I'm currently watching on Netflix is called '' Rebelde''. This show is about teenage kids who are living there life to the fullest. There are also drama and romantic scenes. The show is from Mexico City. In the week I also watched movies with my family. Some movies that we watched were Elf, Baby Boss, and many more. I also finished reading the book called ''the perks of being a wallflower''. ...
