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

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: This is saying that its best thing to always do is the right thing. He is saying that the wrong thing is never better than the right thing.  If you have a choice between keeping something you found that’s someone’s else’s on the ground or turning it in it will always be best to turn it in.

Sportsmanship

The story was about a girl who played for the Western Oregon softball team who was shown a big act of sportsmanship by the other team. Sara had never hit a home run in her time playing and on the game versus Central Washington she hit her first home run ever. Then as everyone ran to home plate they saw Sara on the floor by first base. She had run to first base and tore her right knee and she couldn’t run or even walk to home plate. Her team members couldn’t help her or it wouldn’t count but then girls from the opposing team helped her because the rules said nothing about the other team helping. So two members of the opposing team carried her around the field and onto home plate where Sara had just officially hit her first homerun.

Wadlow died 15 July 1940 in a hotel in Michigan because of a blister on his right ankle caused by a brace which had been improperly fitted.  He is the tallest man ever because no one beaten his height record yet with the tallest man living today being only 8 ft, 3 in tall.

Student Success Statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because there easy; you don’t make t hem because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular: you make them because there right.”

Theodore Hesburgh (Former president of Notre Dame)

Reflection: I think that this means that we have to make the right decisions not because of anything else other than they are right. We have to do what’s right because it’s right. An example would be returning something valuable to someone if they lose it without hoping they will pay for your good deed.

Student Success Statement 

“It is our duty to concentrate to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound”(not good)

Joseph Smith

Reflection” I think that this is true because this means that we should help people realize that some things are bad and somethings are good. An example would be if telling people smoking is bad and telling them that it is better to do something better like volunteering and helping others. Instead of glamorizing smoking and drugs glamorize helping others.
