Student Success Statement #23

                                                            Student Success Statement# 23

"CTR connects you to happiness and success- CTW disconnects."
                                                                                        -Mr. Haymore

When you get thee they instantly start drinking. You are aware that you'll have to drive home after the party. Will you choose to drink? No. You choose to leave the party. You later found out, one of your friends who was drinking had and accident and you realize you chose the right by not drinking. That friend later stays paralyzed and can't move. You as well realize how happy you are that you won't have to stay in bed like your friend does. You also conserve your success because you are allowed to do a lot of things your friend can't. Choose the right, and everything will be okay.

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."
                                                                -Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: It actually is impossible to do the wrong and feel good inside. You can't do that. Your conscience won't leave you alone if you do. For example, you go to the store, steal something, and walk away. You're choosing the wrong. When you get home and your mother asks you where you got the money to buy it from, what are you going to say? You couldn't lie to her, your conscience wouldn't let you, therefor you won't feel good about yourself. It is IMPOSSIBLE to choose to do the wrong and feel good about yourself. Just choose the simple, and better way, choose the right!!!

The String of the Scorpion

                                                              The Sting of the Scorpion

Story: A little kid was camping with his parents in the Arabian Peninsula. When it was morning, the little kid wanted to go walk around, and he had two choices, either wearing his shoes or wearing his flip flops. He knew that his parents told him to wear his shoes because he could get hurt by snakes, scorpions, or thorns, if he chose to wear his flip flops. He disobeyed and decided to walk around in flip flops. When he was walking around, he felt a sharp sting on his foot. He at first felt the pain on his foot, but suddenly the pain went upwards, all around his leg. He started creaming for help, and his parents arrived. They drove to the nearest hospital with was more than two hours away. When they got to the hospital, the doctor helped him out, and the next day, the kid was much better and he was okay.




Reflection: Now this kid is an adult now, and he realizes he chose the wrong. He chose to disobey his parents and be rebellious of their concerns. You must always choose the right, and obey all rules and laws especially from your parents. If you choose the wrong, and keep choosing the wrong constantly, over and over again, the sting with grow and grow with every wrong decision you make.
