An Internal Phenomenon

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: Self-respect, dignity (self worth), integrity, and self-esteem." Dr. Laura Schlesinger

Humility is what allows integrity to survive moral indiscretions. Even so, it’s important to realize that it takes more time to develop integrity than to destroy it and even more time to restore it when it is damaged. While Integrity has some room for errors, just one momentary indiscretion has the potential to be a major setback against a lifetime of progress. This implies that people serious about their integrity should behave as if any violation will destroy it and when necessary, respond with humility and urgency to restore it

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing." Theodore Roosevelt

Life is an exploration, not only in the environment around us, but more importantly, into ourselves. Every interaction we have with other people is a direct effect of what we have, or have not, discovered in our own souls. Understanding our soul helps us develop solutions in how we interact with others. In order to find true happiness, make the right decisions, and add value to others, you most explore your soul to discover your own, leadership solutions.

“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.

Student Success Statement

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

People always invest in things that aren't good for them or don't really matter. They waste their time, money, and effort to get the materialistic things they don't need, But they never think about important things like being, kind, responsible, helpful to others etc. Those are the investments that really matter in life. Not Money, or Power, all that is nothing compared to being good.

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

You only really feel alive when you have done something good. For example, helping an elderly man or woman up the stairs, or helping a teacher carry their things into their classroom, even helping your mother or father at home with chores makes you feel accomplished. Those who do bad won't really get any feeling out of it, you'll end up feeling a poor excuse for a human being and feel regret for whatever you've done. We are not meant to do cruel things to each other. Humans shouldn't have been made so that everything they touch becomes broken and we even do that to each other. They say that the world is a cruel place but infact it's not, it's the humans living here that make it cruel. This world has so much to offer, and so much to see than what meets the eye. But there are people out there who are greedy and selfish and only care about themselves. It's not right. Everyone should help one and another when in need. We shouldn't get into a big fight and end up hurt over something so stupid like they comment on the way you look or they're spreading rumors or is they're "better" than you because the're not. No can be a better you than you yourself.

Student Success Statement

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you." - Dr.Randy Pausch

In order to live a good life, we must do good. You must believe in yourself first before getting whatever you want. You must give it your all because you only get one shot in life and you must take that opportunity and never let it go. If you want to become and artist, keep drawing until your hand hurts. If you want to be an olympic runner, keep running til' you can't stand anymore. If you want to have a good life, always traveling around the world and have the fanciest things in life then work for it. You gain nothing if you don't even try. If you really want this do not ever give up. Sure it will be hard to achieve it but all the hard work will be worth it in the end. Keep fighting for what you're aiming for and nothing but you yourself can stop you from reaching your dreams.

Student Success Statement

"Take responsibility for your own mind, body, and spirit. For your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being." - Mr. Haymore

No one but we ourselves can control our body, mind, and spirit. We ourselves can control our actions, our words, our thoughts, and opinions. It is our choice whether we put them to use for the better or the worse. If we do something bad because of our actions then we must take responsibility for what we have done. Instead of doing bad, we can do good. And doing good can help our Body, Mind, and Spirit.

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.

Student Success Statement

"When you tell one lie, it leads to another." -Paul Hatch.

If you tell one small lie, it can lead to you telling another lie and the another, and then you have to tell even bigger lies. Sooner or later you are going to be caught, and everyone will know that you lied so you wouldn't have to get in trouble. But instead of lying, you can just tell the truth instead of saying the small lie. It's better to tell the truth then to lie because then you won't be in so much trouble. An example would be the reason why you were late. You arrive to school and they ask why you were late? You tell them that there was traffic and you live far. Your parents ask you why you were late and you say that the school made a mistake and you were early. But someone saw you when you were on your way to school. And you went somewhere different. If that person tells you have to make up another lie and say they are lying. But when they find out the truth, the school and your parents will find out you went somewhere different and not to school and you kept lying. That will get you in more trouble rather than saying where you went before school.

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear."-Evan Stephens


I think everyone can agree that when you have done something wrong, you get scared of getting caught. You don't want anything to happen to you. You fear of the consequences that will come after what you did. But you don't have to fear, you don't have to wait for them to give you your punishment. You don't have to as long as you are doing good. If you are behaving and not doing anything wrong, there will be nothing to fear of because you have done no harm to anyone or anything. Many people regret what they have done after it's done, that's when they fear of the consequences that come. It stays in your mind all day and it's hard to dismiss as if it were nothing. Maybe there will be something to distract you for a while but it won't be long before it's back on your mind. You'll begin feeling bad and you'll feel guilty for what you've done. None of it has to happen unless you do what is righteous and good. No harm will be done to you, there will be nothing to worry about.

"1. Can people trust me to do what's right?
 2. Am I committed to do my very best?
 3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?
If the answers to these questions are yes, there is no way you can fail." - Lou Holtz

These questions let you know whether you are doing the right or wrong thing in life. If you say no to one of these questions, you can fix them. It is never too late to fix something. You know you are doing good if you answer yes to all the questions. If you say no then start treating people the way you would like to be treated. Make people know you are trustworthy. Commit yourself to do your very best, not just in school but in life. Doing this will help you succeed in life, many great things can come when you do the right thing.

" Kindness is the essence of greatness." - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Being kind is one of the best things you can do. It can change the way people see you, in a good way. It also helps change people's attitude. Kindness is something everyone should receive. It can cheer someone up and make them feel better. Be kind to everyone, and everyone will be kind to you. Being kind can be just being nice to someone, even if you don't really like them. Be respectful to others and their interest. Help someone out when in need. Even sharing things like your school supplies can be kind. Giving money to the homeless so they can buy themselves food or giving them clothes.  There's many things you can do to be kind to someone that will effect greatly.

  "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." - Proverbs 13:20


You will be successful when you are with smart people. Fools that like to go out partying, drinking, and smoking are destroying themselves and will never be successful. Those who do good receive good, those who do bad receive bad. What these proverbs are telling you is that you have two options. One, you can be successful. Two, you can be demolished.  It is your choice, but being successful is better. You might be having fun for awhile but that will soon fade. It won't be worth it.
