Personal Student Success Statement

 "Be humble, act deferential. Nobody is better than you, you are better than nobody, be the best version of yourself." - Jocelyn Escobedo This quote is stated and created by me. This is one quote I like to live by because we live in a society where everyone is trying to be someone else. For example most of us are influenced by the hottest celebrities. Girls are expected to have perfect bodies, nice makeup, while guys are anticipated on having money, having designer clothes. It's fine if you want, but you don't have to completely change yourself in order to look or be better than another person. Be yourself, at the end of the day, we all have the same heart and lungs inside of us. 

The Ten Indian Commandments

 1. Treat the Earth and all that dwells therein with respect.  2. Remain close to the Great Spirit  3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.   4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.  5. Give assistance and kindness whenever needed.  6. Do what you know to be right.  7. Look after the well-being of the body and mind.   8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.   9. Be truthful and honest at all times.   10. Take full responsibility for your actions.  Reflection:  I think these commandments should heavily be followed by everyone, not just Indians. I do not know what 2 means. I feel like it has to do with being faithful to your religion? Other than that, the rest of the commandments have to do with having good character, being polite to the Earth and its resources, and just being a good human being in general. 

The Truly Good

 Student Success Statement "They're only truly great who are truly good." This quote is stating that the best people, are people who do positive things, who help others, who are ctr people. In life, goodness= greatness. Even the littlest amount of goodness you do, makes you a greater person. I feel like everyday we should set a goal. The goal should be a good deed. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but the more we do good, eventually its going to build up. In doing so, were creating and involving into a better us, a greater us. ..

A Right Heart

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all." In this quote stated by Benjamin Franklin, he is basically stating that you could be the most beautiful person in the world, be the strongest, or have an infinite amount of money, but at the end of the day, that wouldn't matter. What matters is whats in your heart and how you treat others. That is more valuable that any appearance or physical strength. A right heart evokes right actions.
