Student Success Statement

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”

Dennis Prager

Reflection: I think that this statement is saying that it does not matter what you have or own but how you behave and what you do.I think that sometimes feelings do come into conflict with values but I think that although morals are more important feelings sometimes that is untrue. Sometimes people have values or morals that are wrong and feelings that are right. An example is slavery and although back then slavery was not seen as bad and it was the right thing to do to turn in slaves who ran away but in this case its more important to follow your feelings that slavery is wrong.                                          

Optician

Duties and Responsibilities: An optometrist makes eyeglasses and, usually, contact lenses to improve defects of vision a patient might have.

Salary:  $33,770 a year

Education:  A High school diploma or equivalent but those with certificates or associate's degrees are better qualified

Reflection: I think that it would be a good job to have because it would be cool to work with all the equipment that they use and would be interesting to help people see better.  

Student Success Statement 

“Dare to stand alone.”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: What Thomas S. Monson is saying is that it better to stand-alone doing the right thing than to stand with others that are doing the wrong thing. Like JamesOn Curry who lost all his records because he joined people who were doing drugs instead of daring to stand alone. 

Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: Nursing home administrators cover day-to-day aspects of running a nursing home which includes admitting patients, managing the building, directing staff, budgeting, accounting and financial planning

Salary: $83,340 a year

Education:  You need a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration and a masters’s in long-term care administration and then pass a state approved licensing exam

Reflection:  I think that it would be cool to be a nursing home administration and the salary is good.  

Forgiveness

In the story a man named Eric Smallridge was a prisoner convicted of manslaughter because he was drinking drunk and his passengers Megan and Lisa were killed. He was convicted to serve 22 years and then after a couple of years his sentenced was lowered to 11 years because the mother of one of the victims asked that his sentenced be reduced. The victim’s mother Renee said that it was not going to help staying mad and that the only way to feel better would be to forgive him. So she forgave him and after that they both go around and talk about the dangers of driving drunk at high schools. Even after he was convicted he still goes around talking of the dangers of drinking and driving. 

Student Success Statement

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

Alan Paton

Forgive: To stop feeling resentful towards someone for an offence, flaw, or mistake

Reflection: This means that in order to move on form something you must forgive. If someone says something to you won’t be able to move on until you forgive them because if not it will still have power over you.

SeaWorld Trainer

Duties and Responsibilities: Take care of animals at the park and be able to perform at shows.

Salary:  $29-$30 an hour

Education: For SeaWorld a college degree is not required to get a animal training position, but it is preferred. An on-the-job apprenticeship is required of each new trainer

Reflection: I think that being a SeaWorld trainer would be cool because you get to work with animals and do lots of cools things and get paid for it.
