Student Success Statement 

"Dare to stand alone." -Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I believe that what Monson means by this quote is that a lot of people will follow the crowd. People see others doing things, mostly wrong things and they want to join. They believe that since everybody else is doing it, then so can they. I do not think that just because everyone is doing it, it is right; there is still a morale to keep in mind and if you decide to choose the right then you must keep that going. A party for example can be fun but if you see everyone start drinking alcohol, it doesn't mean you should to. It takes a lot of strength to stand your ground even when a lot of people push you, but if you take the challenge then you have a better character then the ones in the flow and it won't matter what everyone else does.

Salary: $88,850

Education: 4 year bachelor degree, or masters degree necessary, pass state licensing exam.

Reflection: I do not think i would like to become a Nursing home administrator because I find that managing a whole company, including its staff and supplies would be a very demanding job and I would not be able to handle all that responsibility. 

Forgiveness Video

This video showed the story of a young man, Eric Smallridge, who was arrested and sentenced to 22 years in prison after driving under the influence and crashing into a car that held two, 20 year old girls, and killing them instantly. Both the family and Eric believed that justice had been served at the trial and it was enough time to make him reflect on what he's done as a result for his bad choices. After a while the mother of Megan, Renee, wrote a letter to Eric, who was still in prison and in her handwriting was a forgiveness letter. She sent it to Eric to finally relieve the pressure of having to hate the killer of his daughter and asked the judge to reduce his sentence by nearly half of what it was. Eric too, felt relieved that he would no longer carry the burden of being hated by the family. This story showed the power of forgiveness and how it can resolve a lot of your inside battles. Eric and Renee now give conferences at high schools to show the danger or drunk driving.

Student Success Statement

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

-Alan Paton

Reflection: This quote by Alan Paton tells me that a lot of the time a moment that you feel resentful towards or even an action done by a friend that you did not like will stick with you and always leave an open wound until you decide to forgive them and get closure for the action. If a friend ever did something to embarrass you and you never forgave them, you will always feel hatred for them and even yourself for possibly losing a great friend. After forgiving the person, you'll feel resolved and will be able to walk lighter knowing that you've gotten over one thing that always held you back.
