Student Success Statement
“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.” - Pam Knox

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing. In life, try your best to do the right thing. Have fun while you're alive. Take advantage of every asset you have. Don't take anything for granted. Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing.

The Goal Of True Education

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Having both Intelligence and character are good things everyone in the world needs. It balances your life. Not having the other can become negative to your life. For Example, you may be very smart but not having character can change what others think of you. You can be cold and mean, people will call you a jerk and they wouldn't care for your intelligence. Another example is when you may have a really good character but you're not that intelligent. You never study, or do your homework, and never pass your test. Colleges and Universities won't want you in their school no matter how good your character is.

Student Success Statement

"We need to courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do." - Richard L. Evans

Many times, when people are going to make a decision, they think rational and don't think about what could happen. Also, when someone wants something but it is bad for them, they choose to get it without thinking of the consequences. For example, Someone wants to try a drug, even though it is highly dangerous and could ruin their life, along with others, they'll choose to take it. But it can be stopped if one thinks of the consequences of taking the drug. Another example would be when some friend is at a friend's house and can only stay there, but they want to go somewhere else for awhile. They should have the courage to know that they cannot go without their guardian's permission. We should have the courage to stop what we are going to do and think if it is the right thing.

 Obedience

"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 instead of obedience being something that you don't want to do, it becomes something you have to do by your own will. It can make you stronger. It can build you a better life. For example, following the laws will not get you into trouble. Listening to your parents builds a strong relationship with them. Good things can come when you are obedient. When you are not obedient, your freedom can be taken away from you.

Obedience

"Obedience is all the primary object of all sound education." -Elizabeth Missing Swell

Being obedient in school will help you with your education. When you are being disobedient you will be kicked out of class or school and miss out on your education because you were being disobedient.

Student Success Statement

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

What this means is that being obedient can make you happy. Being obedient can bring good things into your life. For example, if you're being good in class you will get good grades. If you are obedient to your parents, doing what they tell you to do, you can receive good things like respect, love, maybe that new phone you wanted or going out to eat with your friends. It is better to be obedient than to be disobedient. I think it also depends on the situation you are in when being obedient. You will be happy if your are obedient. Good things will come to you when you are obedient.

 Obedience

"Obedience sums up our entire duty."- Hosea Ballou

What this quote means is that we have duties and if we should obey and do them. For example, if our teacher tells us to do something, that is a duty and we must obey and do it. I don't really think much of this quote. I don't know what to say about it. 

Student Success Statement

"Obedience is the great rest of life." - Thomas S. Monson

I don't really know what to say about this quote, I  guess and example is when the teacher says not to cheat on a test, you listen to them and answer honestly. Another example is when your parents say not to do something and you listen, or when they tell you to stop using your phone and go to sleep. If you are disobedient there are going to be consequences.
