Student Success Statement By Alan Paton 

"When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive."  

 

It might have been a broken promise or a heartbreak that hurt you so much that you still remember how it hurt to this day.  The only way we can recover from that situation and move on with our live is to forgive the person. Forgive them even if it hurts you more than the actual injury because it is one step towards to your freedom. Once you learn to forgive people you feel lighter because you took a burden off your back.  If you were in a relationship that you thought was going to last forever and your partner ends up breaking every promise saying he'll never give up on you, then learn how to move on from that. Maybe it wasn't meant to be and greater things are arriving your way.  Think of it as one building block that you had to leave behind in order to get to the other block that heads to the top of the tower. You should also think as it wasn't that big of a deal so if you forgive him it wouldn't mean as much as you thought it would.  

Student Success Statement By Dennis Prager 
" The most important thing you will ever have is good values." 


              Having good values and having good manners are a total different subject. One thing is saying verbal expressions like 'thank you" and "please" and the other is having moral beliefs that make you who you are. For example choosing between what you feel and what is right. In the video shown they presented an example where you have to choose between saving your dog or a human stranger. In my perspective I would have saved the dog because they dog is a part of my life and ,y future but he right thing to do would be saving the human because it just makes sense I don't know. Probably because you got the person killed if you save your dog instead of the person. Some good values that is is crucial to have is honesty, kindness. and respect. 

"True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right" Brigham Young 

                                           
You might think that you only have freedom when you earn it or when someone gives it to you. That isn't true you can have both freedom and independence when you do the right thing. That is if you choose to go to college, no cheat, help others, and do plenty more than you will earn the freedom you deserve. Independence is a form of saying you are old enough to do things, but if you are constantly doing the wrong for example, doing drugs than you are not being independant. That is because when you are responsible enough to know the difference between right and wrong than you are getting freedom. I keep repeating myself but the point is that if do the right thing everything else will go right.
