Phillip Rigg

1. Work hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things that you are interested in doing
3. Don’t chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you. - Phillip Riggs

What Phillip Riggs is trying to tell us is that we should always work hard for the things we want because they just won't come around. Another thing is that we need to do, is follow our passions meaning do best in what you like. He also mentioned that we shouldn’t chase money. I thought why shouldn’t we chase after money and that’s when I realized that he wants us to know that money is always going to be around we don’t need a lot of it to be happy. Lastly he said that we should do good things for others if you want to be treated with respect. I believe that he is correct because everyone wants to be treated equally with respect and honesty. I also want to let you guys know that choosing the right also emphasizes on what he said. Always do what is best for you and everyone around you because it can bring success.

The Right Thing

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

What this quote is trying to tell us is that when we face a difficult problem in front of us we need to be able to know what we are doing, is going be the right thing. An example of this quote would be you find 100 dollars in the floor while your walking and you notice that the person in front of you drop them. What should you do keep them to yourself or turn them back in? I think that you should return it back to the person because it’s the right thing to do and you will also feel good about yourself.  We should know the difference between wrong and right because if we don’t then we may get nowhere in life. Making a decision to always do the right is the answer to your future because it will make you successful.

Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

- Wilford Woodruff

What this quote means is that if you think that cheating will help you on a test well you're wrong. Let me tell you why, the reasons why it won’t help is because you’re going to fail school, you learned nothing by cheating and it just makes you feel bad. When you decide to choose the wrong you never gain anything because it comes back to get you but this time you’ll have consequences. Another thing is that you always choose the right because it makes you feel happy and you’ll be successful in life. An example of this quote would be you and your friend got in a big argument and she's really mad that she wants to fight you and so do you. But do you really think that it will make anything feel better. So you decide to do it and you realizes that it didn’t help at all because you're still mad. What should have you done in the first place?  I think that you should’ve just left it alone and continued on with your life. Now you know that choosing the wrong never helps you, it just cause more trouble for you. So always choose the right and go the long way.

Do The Right Thing At The Right Time

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

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we should always decide to choose the right even if you don’t see others doing it. It will make you happy when you CTR because you’re showing others what you capable of and it also brightens up the person you're helping out. An example of this quote would be you saw someone cheating in the test and you know that it isn’t fair because you studied while the other person didn’t. What should you do tell the teacher or keep it a secret? I think that you should tell the teacher because they will put an end to it and you won’t have to feel guilty about keeping it a secret. When you choose the wrong it can lead to consequences and you don’t want that because people may not want to hang out with you. We need to step up and choose the right when we see something that isn’t right, have some good character.

                         

Student Success Statement

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ i will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No. never! I’d die first.”- Karl G. Maeser

I think that this quote means that when you give your word of honor you should never break it because it can cause you to have consequences. An example of this quote would be you ask your mom for permission to go out with your friends but she tells you that you have to be home by 9:00 and you agree. When you realize it’s already 8:30 you should already know what to do. You will have to tell your friends that’s it’s time for you to go home even if they’re trying to convince you to stay a little longer. But if you would’ve done the opposite of that you would be breaking your word of honor to your mom. Which means that you’re choosing the wrong. No one can make you break your word of honor except you because you’re going to take full responsibilities of your actions.  Make sure that you always choose the right because it’s the best thing for you and for everyone else around you.
