Student Success Statement: Mr. Haymore

Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others-the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions for the remainder of your life. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone for being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice.

The Ultimate Choice is:

To be a CTR Person-to Always Choose The Right 24/7

-Mr.Haymore

This quote means that it is important for you to be a CTR person because it can affect you greatly. If you become a CTR person then you will be lead down a path of greatness. You will know your way to success by just being a CTR person. If you don’t become a CTR person then you will be lead down a bad path that will affect you greatly. You will not be successful because you will be too busy choosing the wrong and forget what you want to do in life. This is why it is important to become a CTR person.

There are many examples of why it is important to become a CTR person. For example, if you are invited to a party but have a test the next day, what do you do? A CTR person would just stay home and study in order to get a good grade on that test. You will then go on to graduate and go to college because you stayed focus. A non-CTR person would just go to the party and end up failing the test because of not studying. This person will later on not graduate and go on to be successful because they didn’t set their priorities straight like a CTR person would of. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Mr. Haymore.

These commandments mean to basically always choose the right. Like the first means to treat the earth and everything on it good so you're choosing the right. The third one says to be respectful to everyone which is another way to choose the right. The fifth one says to help and be nice whenever it is need yet again another way to choose the right. The ninth one also says another way to choose the right which is by being honest and not lying. These commandments are important for not just Indians to follow but others as well. These commandments are perfect examples of how a ctr person should act all day, everyday. These commandments can be used in any situation throughout your day. If you are to follow these commandments they would lead to down the right path to success in your life. This is basically what I understood from these 10 commandments for Indians and I really think everyone should follow them in order to choose the right.

Student Success Statement: Henry David Thoreau

“ Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” -Henry David Thoreau

   This quote means that goodness is the best investment because your risk isn't great. If you do good then good will come your way. You won’t be at a great risk because you will only get good in return nothing bad. If you do bad then bad will come your way. You will be at great risk because you will never know what to expect to be coming your way but it will most likely not be good. This is why the best investment is good because it is basically a for sure good will come your way.

   There are many examples of why goodness is the best investment. For example, if you study all night for a test for the next day and end up getting a high score on that test. This happened because you invested in goodness which lead you to goodness. Another example would be you going out and partying instead of staying home and studying for that test that you end up getting a bad score on. This happened because you didn’t invest in goodness which lead you down a bad path. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Henry David Thoreau.

Student Success Statement: George Chapman

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”-George Chapman

   This quote means that there are those who cheat and there are those who win fairly. If you cheat there is a chance that you won’t get caught but you will eventually face the consequences. You will eventually start to feel guilty and want to tell the truth about what you did. If you don’t cheat you will never have to feel guilty and be worrying about the consequences. Basically it is just best to stay away from cheating to avoid situations like this.

   There are many examples of why it is important to stay away from cheating. For example, two people are in a race and the one cheating gets first place. The one who isn’t cheating gets second but that doesn’t really matter because in the end he is the real winner for not cheating. Meanwhile the one who cheated is going to be feeling guilty for cheating in order to win first place. This matters because it goes to show that no matter how far cheating gets you, you will always live with the guilt. This is basically what I understood from this quote.

Student Success Statement: George Washington

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."- George Washington 

  This quote means that the decision of choosing people you associate with can be very important. It is best if you hang out with people of good quality rather than those with bad quality. If you rather not hang out with those of good quality than you should just choose to be alone instead. For example, if someone was to choose where to sit at lunch they need to have a lot in mind. Whether those people they decide to sit with will bring good or bad into their life. You should either choose good quality people or no one at all never once choose those of bad quality.

Student Success Statement: Count Leo Tolstoy

"Only those live who do good" - Count Leo Tolstoy 

Student Success Statement:William Penn

"The best recreation is to do good." -William Penn

  This quote means that the best way to restart is by beginning with something good. If you do good you will feel good about yourself so it will help you to restart easier. If you do this it will not only affect you but the people around you too in a positive way. If you do bad you will feel bad about yourself so it won't really help you to restart. Again it won't only affect you but the people around you too but in a negative way.

  There are many examples of how the best recreation is good. For example, if you donate to a charity you will feel great about what you did. At the same time you are helping out someone in need so it is affecting them in a positive way. Another example would be you going out and smoking with some friends which doesn't make you feel good but you do it anyways. That later on leads you to becoming addicted and you don't end up accomplishing anything in life. That is basically what I understood from this quote.

Student Success Statement: Alex Linares

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do" - Alex Linares

  This quote means that when you do what is right it will always be the the the right thing never the wrong. Doing what is right will take you on the road of good. 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.

Student Success Statement: Abraham Lincoln

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad." -Abraham Lincoln


This quote means that the way you behave affects the way you feel. If you do good your going to feel good inside. When you do good it will not only make you feel good but it will make you a better person. If you do bad your going to feel bad on the outside. When you do bad it will not only make you feel bad but make you a bad person as well. That is what this quote is basically stating.

There are many examples of what doing good and bad will bring towards you. For example, if you make a nice comment towards someone it will make you feel kind exspecially when they thank you or complement you back. Another example would be cleaning your room without being told and your parents being proud of you. An example of doing bad would be you tripping someone on purpose and they getting hurt would make you regret it. Doing something bad can also be you making an inappropriate comment and you feeling bad for saying that after. In conclusion, doing good makes you feel good and doing bad makes you feel bad.
