Student Success Statement

"When is wrong right and right wrong?"

Never, because " You can't be right by doing wrong; you cant be wrong by doing right"

Thomas S. Monson

 

Student Reflection : Wrong is always wrong and by no means can it be justified into becoming a right. You may declare a wrong right for understandable reasons but that in no way does that make it a right. The reason for that is principle. Without principle being defined confusing is caused. For lack of principle understanding and respect to abide by  the principle of right is the beginning of a cycle of wrong choices being made.

Dr.Norman Vincent Peale

Reflection: If you put enthusiasm into whatever you're doing the results will be much  higher compared to  if you weren't. If your putting enthusiasm into whatever it is you're doing you will get the most out of whatever that is. For example if you put enthusiasm  into working out, you will work out more and get a better quality of it. In  sports whether you put enthusiasm into your training makes the difference between 1st and 2nd place.

Cell phone Battery saving tips

Essential phone battery saving tips you NEED to know

• Reduce email, Twitter, and Facebook polling. Set your various messaging apps to "manual" for the polling or refresh frequency, just as a test, and you'll instantly extend your device's battery life by a significant amount. 

•  Turn unnecessary hardware radios off. It's great that today's phones have LTE, NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

• One of the coolest features of iOS 7 is called Background Motion. It's subtle, but if you move your iPhone and watch the app icons and background image, you'll see them move slightly independently of each other, as if they're on different planes. This is called a parallax effect. It's really cool, but it also drains battery.

• Turn on Auto-Brightness

Reflection: These tips will ensure your phones battery is conserved and used to its maximum ability.

Heroin Deaths

Heroin deaths shooting up

Many more people are dying from heroin overdoses than in previous years, according to the latest available statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Drug overdose is on the rise and has been for the last 20 years, but specifically heroin is up by 39%.That means 5,927 people died after using heroin in 2012 and that number jumped to 8,260 deaths in 2013. Those are the latest numbers available.

My opinion is that if you are using heroin you are not properly contributing to society so your death most likely is going to benefit our country.   

Mario Cuomo Quote

“Every time I've done something that

doesn't feel right,

it has ended up not being right.“

When you feel that something doesn't feel right its because most likely it isn't. You should always stick to your morals and principles no matter what anyone says. Wrong is always wrong whether everyone is against it or everyone is for it.
