Good Values ''The most important thing you will ever have is good values.'' Dennis Prager What Dennis Prager is saying is that you should value good things. A person who kills should value human life instead of killing. A person who steals should value not stealing. Its not good to not value the good things. Some people may think that you should care more about your feeling than valuing. Its more important to value than care. If your dog was drowning but then you see a person drowning as well who would you save? If you save your dog that is feelings because you care about him and you don't want him to die. But if you save the person better than your dog then that means that you value humans. Its always good to value the important things. There are 3 things without good value and those are: money, love, and happiness. You become a better person when you value good. When you start to value the goodness it makes you realize that somethings are better than o...

Now at home you can be a ctr person by helping out and taking out the trash or helping wash the dishes. Being a ctr person may take time but it will be worth it because you'll become a better person.

Student Success Statement ''In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.'' -Theodore Roosevelt What Theodore Roosevelt means is that you should always do the right thing. If you cant decide what to do on a situation just think about what is right. Always do the right on everything. If something doesn't seem right then don't do it. An example of doing the right is if you see a homeless person asking for money. The best thing to do is give them some change or if not you can go to the store and buy them some food. Its important to choose the right and care about others. This is doing good because you care about others. When you cant decide just think about the pros and cons. If there are more cons than pros then that might mean that its not the right decision and you should not choose it.T You know something is right when you feel as if its right.

Student Success Statement ''Nothing is ever gained in doing what's doing.'' Wilford Woodruff What Wilford is trying to say is that doing the wrong won't bring goodness. Its important to always do the right thing. Some examples  are when you're sleeping in class. Doing that won't gain anything because you aren't learning anything. Another example is if you flick your finger to your teacher. You won't gain anything from that but trouble. Just because something makes you look cool doesn't mean you should do it if its wrong. Do the right and good things will come. An example of doing something good is if you're walking and the person in front of you drops $5. If you pick them up and hand them back to them they might let you keep them for doing good. Or they might just thank you but either way it will make you feel good about yourself. Don't choose to do wrong just because you think its ''cool'' ''popular...

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 w...

''I trust that my hard work will pay off,'' Tyler Haws Brigham Young University Basketball Player Mormon Church Missionary What Tyler Haws is saying is that when you work hard for something you will achieve goodness. Always try your best. You should never give up on something you want to accomplish or achieve. For example, Tyler got kicked out of his team when he was in 3th grade. He decides to work harder to get better. He did get better he later on went to Brigham Young University. He made a big impact on the basketball winning. He broke the record of shooting in basketball in the whole school. So as you can see everything good you do will pay off. An example for this would be life you want to become a teacher. You first need to go to school and study because you won't be able to be one unless you study. If you give up later on it will not be payed off. On the other hand if you keep on trying and you never give up then you will achieve it. Alw...

'' True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.'' Brigham Young Today we learned about doing what's right. This means that when you do whats right you get more freedom. You will become a better person doing whats right. An example is if you keep on doing your homework and being on time you will have more freedom later on. Also another example is if you follow everything and you're a good student. Later on in the future you will achieve everything you wanted in life. You'll have more freedom and liberty. To add on, once you achieve your goal you will be very happy with yourself. If you keep on doing the wrong people will not notice you as the good person but the bad. Also when you do bad you tend to loose privileges and freedom. If you want to live a free and honest life you should always do whats right. You will get more noticed as you do the right. 

Student Success Statement ''They're only truly great who are truly good.'' Goodness = Greatness  -George Chapman What this means is that you show who you really are when you're good. Once you do good you become a better person. Today we saw a video of this kid who was different from the others. He was a nobody and then the kids from the football team changed that. They let him play/ practice with them and he was able to score a touchdown. His parents were really happy. Also doing whats good is right. The team did something very good for the boy. The kid makes everyone happy and feel good. Everyone should be good because it'll make the world a better place. Goodness is great and everyone should do it. It'll make you a better person more happy and cheerful.

''Character Matters Most.'' Dale Murphy This statement made by Dale Murphy is important. It shows how character is important. Someone who has good character does the right. Who you are as a person is important. An example for this quote is if you're taking a test and you don't cheat. That's showing good character. Another example is if you see someone who needs help crossing the street and you offer to help them. You're also showing good character. Now on the other hand someone people may not have good character. This is bad. Its bad because you're not choosing the right and you're being disrespectful. Some examples of having a bad character is if you cheat on a test. Its wrong because cheating on a test won't get you anywhere in life because you're not learning correctly. Another example is if a teacher calls on you and you get mad at them. That's not having good character. You're disobeying them and disrespecting them. ...

Student Success Statement ''Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.'' Benjamin Franklin What Benjamin Franklin is trying to say is that when you have a good heart you're a better person. Having a good heart is good. For example, today we saw a video on how this one kid who is 15 years old (freshman) he won a game for his dad. His dad is currently sick and he might not be there next year because of his sickness. So the boy decides to go to the gym everyday at 6 am to work out. He would also practice every single day even when there wasn't after school practice. He was dedicated to win this game for his dad. When it was game day the boy won the championship and he went to hug his dad. His dad was very happy because he won the game for him. This shows that he has a good  heart and that hes caring. He demonstrates this because not everyone thinks like that, that they will win someth...

Student Success Statement ''It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.'' James Freeman Clarke This statement is about how one difference can make a change. An example we saw today was that this one little kid died on cancer. Everyone in the community gathered together to set of some lamps on his birthday. They all loved Jayden. Because of his pass people started to pay it forward. What that meant was that is someone does something nice the others have to pay it forward and do something for others. His parents loved him very much. 

''Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly.'' Otto Graham,Jr. When you see something valuable or something you found ask yourself what is the right thing to do with it.Foe example we saw a video of a lady who lost her engagement ring. She was walking and then she saw a homeless man with a cup. She then put money in there but her ring went in there too. The man said that he went to a jewelry store to see if it was worth anything and it was. It was worth $4,000. He could have sold it for the money but he chose not to. After a few days latter he saw the lady who lost the ring and gave it to her. She was very pleased. Since he was a good man she told her fiance about it and they pit up a website for people to donate money based on the story. They thought that they were only going to raise a little bit of money but they raised about $180000. When you act accordingly you receive goodness. The man receive money, a job, a house to live in, ...

Student Success Statement ''If you do whats right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of.'' Rachel Castillo What Rachel Castillo is saying is that if you do something good you'll live good. One you'll feel good about yourself.  Two you'll feel happy. Three you'll get something in return for doing whats right. If the return is not financially then you will get it sooner or later by god. So in return good will come. An example to this quote is if you see an old lady and she needs help crossing because shes blind. And you choose to help her cross the street that's choosing the right. You're taking you're own time to help someone in need. Once you guys cross and she says thank you. You might not get anything in return from them but something good will happen to you. Another example is if you're walking and the person in front of you drops there money like $50 on floor and then you pick them up. Its good to say hey ...

''Only those live who do good'' Count Leo Tolstoy What Count Leo Tolstoy is trying to say is that if you're a good person you will live with peace and have more spirit. Instead of being bad and choosing the wrong you will live a bad life. An example of doing good is if someone in your school gets bully and beat up. You then stick up for them you're doing good because you're choosing the right. Another example is if you have a pizza box with food in it and will you're walking by you see a homeless person. They will ask you if you could give them some change but you then give them pizza slices. That's choosing the right and being nice. You're not being selfish but helping the less fortunate.Now an example of doing the wrong is when your friends are at a party drinking and then they offer you some and you take it. That's doing the wrong because you're not suppose to be drinking until 21. Another example is if you rob something from th...
