"A man without a goal 

is like a ship without a rudder"

Thomas Carlyle

If you dont set a goal to yourself you will go in any direction that doesn't take you where you wanna go like a ship without a rudder. If you set a goal you will drive yourself to that goal and accomplish is like the ship arrives at the destination. For example if you put a goal to have good grades you will work hard for it and if you dont your grades would be all over the place

Reflection: 

"Do good to be good"

Arely Miranda

Do good things do good gestures it will turn you into a good person. A person known for doing good , for doing good an kind things for others. You rather be known for the good then for the bad, the bad that ditches school or steal from other people. Instead give to those in need and give to those that would appreciate it more. Be known for your kindness and good heart. Be known for the good things you do. Help others do good as well help others feel good and be good. Dont do bad to others or bad to yourself . 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day or Decoration Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. ... Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. 

To me, Memorial Day is the day we remember what it means to be a hero. ...Memorial Day is the day we thank those who did not get the joyous homecoming, or have since been laid to rest. It is the day we remember the heroes who gave everything for the soldiers serving next to them and the people they left at home

 It’s easy to forget what Memorial Day actually means while you’re sitting by the pool and looking ahead at summer vacation—but the day signifies much more than just a three-day weekend.

Beautiful Character

Conclusion: IF there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world."

Chinese Proverb

Having a beautiful character will show others there is still peace in still world. It would show how others are still kind and helpful. For example the old man who payed a waitress tuition for her to become a nurse. He saw a good character in her and was so kind enough to pay it for her. She was so grateful and thanked him. She is now a nurse and is heading for a masters degree that he too will pay. This brings peace to the world by showing how there is still kind people out there.

Forgive 

"When a deep injury is done us, 

we never recover until we forgive."

Alan Paton

Nobody really recovers without forgiving like they would just proceed to grow hate and no forgiveness. Its better to forgive than to grow hate. For example the guy who was in jail for drunk driving and killing to teens. He was sentence to 22 years in jail. The mom of one of the teens forgave him and asked for his sentence to he cut in half. He was released and is now working with that mom and spreading the story to high schools about drinking and driving.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor

than to win by cheating"

Sophocles

This quote means you should always prefer to lose with honor than win by cheating. If you cheat and you win you will feel awful and no pride at all is better to lose with honor and knowing you did not cheat. For example of the horse rider who shocked the horse so it ca run faster. He thought he wouldn't get caught but a photography catcher him in the act but he was caught and his reputation was over.

Student Success Statement

"If I've got correct goals, and i keep pursuing

them the best way i know how, everything else will fall into line.

If i do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed."

Dan Dierdorf

If you have goals, dont abandon them by doing the wrong. Always pursue your goals and do the right thing. When you do the right life will reward you with success. Not like the guy who had a future and a scholarship he ran on the foot ball field and got slammed by the teams coach. He lost his scholarship and was charged for breaking the law. His goals went down the drain because he chose the wrong. This is why we all must keep our goals in mind before taking any wrong action because they are on the line and so is your future.
