“There is no giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.”

-Anon

Reflection: I believe this quote means that instead of trying to do everything in one step take your time to do it right. For example say your down by one touchdown and there’s one minute left don’t risk everything on one pass (step) take what they give you (little steps). So in conclusion don’t try do everything in one pass (step) take little steps and do it right.

 Student Success Statement

Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’

Expediency asks the question ‘Is it polite?’

Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’

But, conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Reflection:  I believe this quote means we all must take a step that is neither safe. This means that we all will do something reckless. Also we will all take a position that everyone won’t agree with but that is way we find out if it is right.

“Let us have faith that right makes right, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

Reflection: I believe that this quote means that we should all believe that right is right and just leave it at that. For example is someone is during a problem weird and you say it’s wrong but it’s right you should just leave it at that and not try to change it. In conclusion, you should also dare to right and leave right at right.

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon:   Self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem”

-Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Refection: I believe this quote means that if you do the right things your self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem will all go up. If you do the wrong things than you will be lacking in each of the things that give you confidence. For example say you help someone with their homework than your self-esteem will go up but if you don’t your self-esteem won’t go up it’ll stay the same. In conclusion you should always CTR and these will be your rewards: Self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.
