Student Success Statement: Peter Vidmar

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.Write down what you want most and see it often."-Peter Vidmar

This is saying that if you wanted to do something back then but don't do because something new and better came up don't go for you thought of now but do what you already wanted to do. If you wanted to be gymnastics but gave up because all your friends play soccer, dont give up go for it. You should go for what you wanted because you never know the surprises that could be there. Dont go for what your friends are going for but what you want. One thing i've always wanted is to be a proffesional soccer player. I see all these really good girls but one reason due to why i gave up on soccer was because of a health disease that my mom or dad got really scared of and took me out of soccer. I have started to play again because now i know that is better to do what you wanted to before than now. 

Healthcare Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: Healthcare administrators, plan, direct, coordinate, and supervise the delivery of health care. These workers are either specialists in charge of a specific clinical department or generalists who manage an entire facility or system.

Salary: $37,109 - $105,270

Education: A bachelor’s degree (four years) is the typical entry-level preparation needed for health care administration jobs. Some employers, however, will promote from within or hire other professionals with related experience (such as nurses) who are ideal for an administrative role because of their direct health care knowledge. For high-level executive positions, a graduate education (two to three years) is usually the starting point.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I would not like to be one because it seems like a career that wouldn’t be very interesting.  Also because I have another career in mind already.

Student Success Statement: Proverbs 22:1

"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."

  This quote means that having people know your name and think great things is better having a lot of money. When people hear your name and think about all you have done it is best when they can think of positive things than negative. When thinking positive they can think of how kind and generous you are. When thinking negative they can think of how mean and selfish you are. It is up to you how you would like your name to be projected.

  There are many examples of how having a good name is better than having a lot of money. For example, you can have all the money in the world but never be happy due to your bad name. Or you can be the poorest of the poor but always be happy due to your good name. Like I stated before it based on you whether you will have a good or bad name. This is basically what this quoteis trying to say.

Student Success Staement: Coach K

"A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life."-Coach K 

  This quote means that having people know that you are a good person is better than anything you can ever do in your life. People being able to hear your name and thinking of how good of a person you are is an amazing feeling. Rather than people hearing your name and thinking of horrible things which isn't such a good feeling. What is brought up when your name is stated is based on how you are as a person. This all goes to show how important it is for you to be a good person in life.

  There are many examples of how having people know that you are a good person is better than anything you can ever do in your life. For example, you are brought up in a conversation and everyone right away states how your so kind and nice, that would make you feel good about yourself. Another example would be you being brought up in a conversation and everyone begins to talk about how your mean and selfish, that wouldn't make you feel so good. this is basically what I                                                      understood from the quote.

Student Success Statement:Thomas A. Monson

"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."
-Thomas A. Monson

  This quote means that you shouldn't do what others are doing just because you feel pressured. You should stand up for what you believe in even if your the only one. You can't count on everyone to agree with what you are standing up for but that shouldn't discourage you. You shouldn't worry about what others are going to say because in the end you can only always count on yourself. This goes to show how important it is to stand up for what you believe in no matter what.

  There are many examples of when standing up for something is important or how difficult it is to stand up for something. For example, a couple of friends want to go bully this classmate but you stand up for the classmate but in the end no one agrees with you, that is okay. It's okay because you did what you could but it will later effect the bullies in life. Another example of this would be your group of friends telling you to go do something that your parents specifically told you not to do and in the end you leave and go home. The next day you find out that after you left they got arrested, well that was good of you to leave when you knew it wasn't right. Like I said earlier what happens is based on whether you decide to stand up or not.

Student Success Statement:Noemi Trigueros

"A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself." -Noemi Trigueros 
  This quote means that even if you are a champion that doesn't mean much unless you are also a great person. By being a champion you also need to show that you are not only a good person on the outside. If you are a champion but not a good person inside it doesn't make you different because those aren't the qualities of a good champion. It is up to you whether you will be a good champion or not but it depends on your actions.

  There are many examples of how to be a good champion. For example if you are a champion and you are always giving back to your community that's you making a human of yourself. Another example would be you being a champion and always trying to help others. Like I said before whether you are a good champion will be up to you. That is basically what I understood from this quote.

Student Success Statement: Alan Stein

"Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have tomorrow?" -Alan Stein

  This quote means that you have a choice to succeed or not but it is up to you. Success doesn't just happen you must put in work to be successful. You have to be committed to what you want to be successful in and can't give up no matter how difficult it becomes. Doors to success will open up to you but whether step through or not is your choice. This goes to show how success is a choice you must make.

  There are many examples of how success is a choice based on you. For example, if you try your best all through school and become successful that was based on the choice you made when doing good in school. Another example would be you always practicing a sport you like all the time and you later on become successful for it well that was a choice you made for yourself. Like i stated earlier success is based on you to make a choice. This is what this quote is stating to it's audience.

Student Success Statement: James E. Faust

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block,it becomes a building block."-James E. Faust

  This quote means that once you begin to get use to obedience it won't block your path but open it up more. Being use to being obedient will get more and more easier as you keep practicing. If your not use to being obedient, it won't come as easy to you. Obedience will open up many doors in life if you are always obedient. So this all goes to show that being obedient doesn't knock you down but build you up.

  There are many examples of how being obedient is important in life. For example, if you are obedient all the way up until you graduate, that will lead you to get a good career and so on. Another example would be you being an obedient son/daughter and that leading you to getting rewards all the time from your parents. Like I said before obedience is a very important key in life to lead you to success. This is what this quote is basically stating to it's audience.

Doing what is wrong will take you on the road to bad. Doing what is right will take you to happiness meanwhile doing what is wrong will take you to guilt. So this all proves that doing the right is always the right thing to do.


  There are many examples of how doing the right is the right thing to do. For example, you end up doing the right by finishing school so that later on leads you to success. Another example would be you doing what you are suppose to do before your parents get home and you get rewarded by them letting you go out.These are just some of the many example of how doing the right  is always the right thing. So that is all this quote is stating to it's audience.

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy." -David Bednar


  This quote means that obedience is the center of everything. Everything revolves over whether your obedient or not. If you are obedient you are on the road to happiness just by being obedient. If you are disobedient you are going backwards on the road to happiness. So this all goes to prove that being obedient will lead you somewhere.

Student Success Statement:John Wooden

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."
-John Wooden

  This quote means that what you do doesn't matter but who you are does. Usually what you do is how you think people will judge you. In reality it's who you are as a person that you will be judged. If your a good person people will want to go up to you and be your friend. If your a bad person people won't want to involve you in anything.

  There are many examples of what this quote is trying to say. For example, if you aren't so great at basketball but you are seen that you are a kind person. You wouldn't be judged on your skills but how you act. Another example would be you being an amazing basketball player but you are seen as a rude person. Again you aren't going to be judged on you skills but how you act. That is basically what this quote is trying to say.
