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

An act of kindness would be for example if there are no more seats on the bus and an elderly is standing up, you should offer your seat to them. Another kind thing to do would be to open a door for somebody if they are behind you.These are simple things that contribute to kindness , things you should do on a regular basis without having to think about it.

This quote means that when you are kind, you are a CTR person which exemplifies greatness and gratitude.If you are kind to others, you will also be treated kindly.One reason to be kind is because there can never be enough kindness in the world. The more kindness you give, the more kindness you will receive, especially in times of need.Being kind to others also gives you happiness within your heart, it can make you feel good.Also, if you are kind you will make good friends easier than you would with being mean. Another act of kindness would be to invite a homeless to a warm dinner, and allow them to take a bath in your house.Furthermore, you can donate to local non profit establishments to support the sick, or to support the community around you.On Christmas Day, I have always wished to buy toys, wrap them up, and give them to St. Jude's Children's hospital, because they cannot afford toys, and it puts a smile on their faces, it gives them hope.

Thanksgiving Week

             My thanksgiving weekend was very wonderful & lots of fun. One of the best-loved places I went to was the grove. It is such an amazing place, especially when the very high tree is all lit up when night falls. Then as the tree illuminates all of the stores, there is also many other palm trees that have gorgeous Christmas lights.Santa Claus was also there, putting a smile on kids faces, which made me smile. There was also a trolley that tours around the grove giving passengers a magnificent view. I was extremely jolly when I opened the door to my family on Thanksgiving. We had pocole as our main dish, dumplings as a side dish, and finally some sweet rich classic favorite pumpkin pie.I didn't watch any movies, because I am more into T.V shows. Some of the shows that I watched are Pretty Little Liars and The Walking Dead. I also invested most of my time reading To Kill A MockingBird by Harper Lee, for my 6th period honors English class.I was very grateful to have such a great time with my loved ones, and I am also grateful for everything in this delightful life that God has given us.

Student Success Statement
Doing what is right, fair, and honorable

"Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing."- Chick Moorman

An example of this would be if 2 people were playing cards, and one person cheats by taking a card from the deck and wins. The person who won the game lost all integrity, but on the other hand the loser of this game is still a winner because they did the right thing, so the person who truly loses is the one that cheats.

This quote means that it doesn't matter who wins at anything. but how you play fair and take responsibility. If you choose the wrong then that wouldn't be fair, and if you choose the right you will be a good sport and be the winner in the end.This quote can also be interpreted as a win is nothing without playing with integrity. If a person decides to CTW, and cheat then they really didn't accomplish anything at all.Even if you are losing at something you shouldn't CTW, you should just try harder and wish for best luck.Having integrity is more than having moral principles, it is also staying true to the person you are.If you do the right thing in a reliable way, you will always have integrity with you wherever you go.Integrity also means having wholeness in a character, so it reveals your true intentions. Having integrity also means to CTR 24/7.

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

What this quote means is that if you surround yourself with good friends that encourage you to do good things, then you will be a CTR person. However, if you surround yourself with negative people that want to do bad things, they will influence you to do bad things which is choosing the wrong.

An example of this would be a wise student making interactions with other CTR scholars. If this student involves him/herself with delinquents who drink illegally, they would fall into the wrong path.

This quote is saying that the people you hang around at school, or in your neighborhood can influence you in a positive or negative way. They can change your mindset, and possibly your future.An unwise companion will choose the wrong, unlike the wise companion who will choose the right.If you don't want to face the consequences of acting like a fool,then you should surround yourself with wise individuals.If you choose to hang with the right crowd, you will feel encouraged and feel good within yourself to choose the right. Itr is like saying "Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future." This also means that whoever you like to be with now, will be how your future role will play out. If you start with a strong mindset, you will find happiness within yourself, and not get influenced by others.

Student Success Statement 'Always'
"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it" William Penn

What this quote means is that even if everyone chooses to do the wrong thing, it doesn't make it right. It will remain wrong, even if it is said to be right. An example of this would be if everyone is drinking at a party, it doesn't make it right because they are choosing the wrong. Also, just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that you should do it too.

Another example can be if someone speeds when the street light is red, they are a CTW person. If that person decides to follow the rules, even if everyone else is running red lights then they are automatically a CTR person. No matter who is choosing the right, right will always be right. The same will go for whoever is choosing the wrong, it will always be wrong as a fact. Choosing the right is important no matter what a person is going through or put under. It is also important to follow people that are CTR people instead of people who earn F's in school and do drugs.If everyone is choosing the wrong it is your responsibility to lead the right way .

There will always be challenges including peer pressure, but you have to have a strong mentality and be able to say no to doing wrong things. Remember that choosing the right will lead you to success and happiness within your heart.
