University's
One of my desires is to get into a good University. It is one of my desires because I really want to go far in life. I also want to make my parents happy and i wont them to know that I try hard to get good grades. Even though i might not be a straight (A) student but I do try my best. For example right now I am on the silver list but I hope to one day to achieve my goal and to be on the Gold list. To me education didn't really matter to me in middle school but now since I am in high school i have to be more series on my actions and my decisions because in order to achieve my goal i have to get good grades and in order to get good grades i have to do my work and in order to do my work i have to make the right decisions. I hope to one day to make it into A good University.
"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are" - Arnold H. Glasgow
Reflection: To me this quote really helps me think the most because to be able to go somewhere in life and want to accomplish some goals, you have to know how your going to get there and you need to try and get to your goal.This goals explains a lot because you wont go far unless you know what your heading for and what you really want in life. This quote really says in life hoping i can accomplish my goal but i know if i want to get there i need to know where I'm going in life.
Student Success Statement
" Enthusiasm makes the difference."-Dr.Norman Vincent Peale
Reflection: To me this quote means is that to have enthusiasm is better in life. For example to get better grades you have to show enthusiasm to be able to if not you wont be able to get to your goal. Another example is the video Mr Haymore used it showed the character being slow so he got left behind and that is how life is going to be if you don't strive for what you want your going to be left behind and not achieve any goals on the way.
" I wasn't trying to leave a legacy . I was trying to do what was right." Dean Smith
Reflection: To me this quote is saying is that he didn't want to quit something he wanted to do what was right for him and what he thought was right. T o me this reflects me because you always have to do whats right in life because it is a good thing to do. Not only just for you but for other people as well. For example your parents they want to see you go far so you have to do whats right to accomplish your goal or just anything you want to accomplish in life.
Lead Your Life
What happens if you lead your life the right way ?
"Its not about how to achieve your dreams. Its about how 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

Reflection: To me this quote means is that you have to live your life to the fullest because if you don't you also might not achieve some of your goals. For example if you do live your life to the fullest you might also achieve some goes on the way. Another example is if you achieve some of your goals in life you are living life to the fullest because you are also having fun along the way. This reflects to me because If i wait to do something and not live my life i wont be able to achieve any of my goals in life.
Educating the Body,Mind,and Character
"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER,giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." - Theodore Roosevelt
Reflection: To me this quote means is that educating you mind and body and also your character is better for you.It is better for you and others and not only right now but also for your future.This can benefit you in many ways in life and your goals.
Obedience
" When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of stumbling block, it becomes a building block."- James E. Faust
Refection: To me this quote means to me is when you are obedient in life you are gonna grow into something good. If you choose to not be obedient you will stumble in life with many consequences. For example if you steal you will end up in jail and you will stumble into a lot of bad consequences.Although if you choose the right you will grow into a good person in life and stumble and fall with negativity.Another example is doing whats right is way better than doing wrong, if you do right you will be a happy person. But if you choose the wrong you wont be a happy person. It is better if you obey rules and be obedient in life then choosing whats wrong.When you obey you will have many good opportunities in life. When you don't obey the rules you will not have any opportunities. The only opportunities you will have is going to jail.
