Phillips Riggs was Mr.Haymores professional and successful cousin who won first place out of 4,00 more candidates running for the same award. He is someone who is providing us with four helpful tips that can get us to achieve much more than the grammys. To add on, we can apply these four success tips to our future goal we desire to reach. These four tips provided can help us reach to where we want to stand in the future. THe first tip is working hard. You must give what you want to get out of something, what you give is what you get. In the second tip, what we desire to accomplish in the future we should never stop to reach those dreams. We should never give up on what we see ourself doing. The third tip explains how we should not do something for the money it provides. We should all do something that will help us reach and and give us satisfaction in some way, besides money. The final tip explains, use your passion and do good out of it. Doing good is what will make you feel more satisfying than it is.

A good example that can follow up these four succes statements are our graduating seniors. Our seniors are reaching out to adulthood and are a;ready settling into the world.

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-Benjamin Franklin

This quote is from one of our founding fathers. What this quote is saying is that luxury isn’t something beautiful and useful, what really is something big is a right heart. A right heart exceeds more than luxuries, money, popularity,etc. What this quote is saying is the right heart is the best of the best. A right heart is what will make you move and do more, but everything else won’t. For example, beauty and having everything won’t get you anywhere. Having a great heart is having different good qualities in one. Having the great heart is what will give you the courage to succeed and do more, you work hard and you earn it. Money can’t buy you everything. Looking back at great successors, they didn’t come from a high income family. To be the wealthiest you must go through the hard. Most of our successors today all were poor and didn’t have much. Education and the right heart led them to their success today.

A great example, to follow up all successors today were not high income families. Based on my knowledge and viewings on others, not everyone had everything in there hands today. Having the right heart gives you courage, determination, confidence, etc to go more in depth for a specific goal. Others who have money will most likely try to buy that. Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are truly in use when they are develop in the right heart. The right heart puts you in obstacle that end up with great open doors and success. A great heart is a great heart, money cant help you succeed in everything.

Student Success Statement

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right”

-Dean Smith

Doing and choosing the right can give you an extraordinary feeling. Dean Smith is a well known college basketball coach. Dean Smith was very successful. But what led him to his success? Choosing to do what's right. Dean Smith aimed and accomplish so much with doing what's right. Dean Smith is a great example, doing what is right will bring good into your life. Your actions have consequences good or bad. Dean Smith explains in his quote that his intention was to not be a legacy, but to do what is right. Doing good will bring good into yourself and others.

A great example to fit this quote is being a coach yourself. Being a coach means being a mentor for others to evolve in something they are practicing in. In this case, Dean Smith was the basketball mentor for the University of North Carolina.Dean Smith was someone of equality and truth. Good habits took him to where he is today. This basketball coach was a great mentor to those he trained and taught them well on whats right. Doing what is right is hard to get into the habit, but you'll get used to it. Dean Smith accomplished and was a success in what he liked to do. Do and get into what you desire is right, and you will be leading into a great path.

Student Success Statement

“The 3 Questions:

1. Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2. Am i committed to doing my very best?
3. Do i treat people the way i want to be treated?

If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail”

-LOU HOLTZ

What these statement says is a great way to ask yourself before any game as an athlete and to determine a decision in situations. These questions i find them very meaningful to ask yourself what will you choose and how will you result in before anything. Personally, i have sometimes ask myself these questions to identify myself the change that is wrong in sports and myself wise. These questions are a good way to ask yourself to see the range you are in in certain situations. As said by Mr.Holtz, if you answer yes to any of these questions there is no way you will fail and you will succeed. The first rules, focus on trust. Trust come from no type of bad labels on you like lying. The first rule applies to having success, because when having the trust you will do what’s right in the situation you are facing. The second question focus on effort, Basically, in anything coming from school work and sport, what you give is what you get. Lastly, the third and final question focuses on respect. No one likes to be disrespected even if it's a “friendly” way. The way you treat other is the way you will be treated back. With the combination of all three question, success will happen. Success comes with effort,respect, and trust all together to accomplish what you desire to accomplish.

A great example that can fit in for these three set of questions and quote Mr.Holtz said, athletes. Athletes compete with others to show others what they have practice for and effort given in a sport. As an athlete you always want to be at the highest level, Varsity. Varsity in the highest level group in a team, but it comes with difficulties and learning. Therefore, to make it too varsity you have to go step by step to reach your goal. These three sets of question can comply to reaching your goal of being in Varsity. Varsity players commit to effort, respect each others and have good labels on themselves to listen to each others. These three goals are a great example that applies to athletes, because athletes are competitive and want to take win’s, but that can’t always happen. Games are played fairly and they are played on how much effort you give. As an athlete you give what you get which determines your success.

Student Success Statement

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks  knew:Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

-President John F. Kennedy

This quote comes one of our leaders and successor of the United States of America, Mr. President Kennedy. This quote summarizes the importance of the effect physical fitness has on us. Physical fitness in important in my everyday life, it’s what gives me the energy to do what i do everyday. In this quote Kennedy clary states what we know from our history, the Greeks. The Greeks have proven to us on how much intelligence and skills can only function on a strong but healthy body. This statement opposing to the Greeks is very well true. What this quote clearly states is our actions, the more better actions we do to yourself the more we learn and become stronger. Physical fitness you can say is what we depend on for the day, it’s our source of energy to keep up moving throughout the day and complete to learn more. Besides the importance physical fitness has to do with creating intellectual activity, it brings us in good mood. When in good health we feel good and well rested, it creates the way you can respond with others. Physical fitness focuses on both your daily movement and the way we react.

A great example that fits with this quote by John F. Kennedy is communication. Everyday we communicate at least once or more times with one individual and/or ourselves. Physical fitness has an impact on both my daily movement and the way we react. For example; let's say one day throughout the week you got well rested, your calm, stress free, and you just feel relaxed and the world is just perfect and then the rest of the week it’s just the opposite. I personally have gone through this, and i get very cranky and mood swings when i am with others. I am not the true me at these times, it’s just not me and it;s not cool. Besides that, on the days i feel good i am like the  most energized and happiest person always smiling. The reasons for these different moods are affected based on my daily actions, like managing my time and going to sleep early. My daily actions affect your future physical fitness for the next day.

Thanksgiving & Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is a day where we celebrate things and how thankful we are for what we have today. Thanksgiving began in 1621, when the Plymouth colonists and Pilgrims had a meal. In 1620 a small ship held the Plymouth colonist carrying more than 100 passengers to seek a new living and freedom. In their journey, they had a weird crossing that eventually led them to the Pilgrims that were located in Massachusetts. The meal occurred when, Pilgrims encountered each other over a discussion over land which was the meal know today as Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has been celebrated for centuries, but it wasn't really recognize until the 1800’s. In 1863 of the time of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving Day to be celebrated every November. The history behind this is known as Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the U.S. and Canada celebrate to give thanks for their blessings and living throughout the year. Thanksgiving day isn’t celebrated everywhere because of the impact it has on an individual. For example, beliefs.

Student Success Statement

“The best recreation is to do good”

-William Penn

The last time we did a Student Success Statement, if was a quote from this fine person William Penn. Seeing how the class and i are being more involved with William and his sayings. To do good is the best recreation you can do. This quote by William Penn is correct. According to William Penn recreation to do good is the best. I agree with William, because if recreation means to redo I would repeatedly do good. Doing good means help others that can make an impact and a big change. Doing good gives good in yourself and others. Doing Good means a lot, the traits to doing good is a lot of positive and careness.  When you do good you feel good knowing how you made an impact on a well-being.

Choosing the Right is a great example that can relate to this quote. Recreation is another word for repetition and just redoing or recreating. How does CTR make a great example as a recreation? CTR is choosing the Right. Choosing the Right is making the best and correct choices to help gain success and knowledge for your future.CTR is a great example to recreation, because the more good you do the more you good is caused. Imagine if everyone did really good choices, our world and others wouldn’t be so damage or full of a lot of negativity. CTR is a great way to be a step closer and help change others point of view to make a change. Choosing the right repetition creates a well-being action that is the best to achieve more.

"A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life." Coach K

A good name comes from good actions. This quote said by Coach K, is similar to the one last week,but its something else we can put in our thought. A good name comes from being a person of good. In order to be a person of good, you choose the right. Choosing the right gives you good labels about yourself. Good labels are from the success and positive accomplishments you have made. Good name come from achievements,success,doing good,helping others in a positive way,etc. I fully agree with Coach K, because nothing better in life is having a good label on your own self. I see this quote very straight forward of what life should bring you to do better. This quote said by Coach K, no matter who you are or what you do that everyone knows or loves you about is nowhere near good as having a good label about yourself. What is their in achievement if you are well know and an achiever, of everyone knows you as the cheater,lair,etc.

A great example that would fit in this quote is Coach K well known being. Coach K is a high achiever with really good labels with more than 1,000 Basketball games wins. He is an achiever with good labels in his life. Besides Coach K, another great example would be an individual trying out for a sport or program. Lets say, this individual didn't make it into the team. The individual who tryout wasn't successful. Even though this individual didn't make it, the coach of the team complimented her effort. This individual was given the label of being very determine and dedicated too achieve something. In this case, the individual wasn't able to achieve this , but she got the good labels of the success she gave to try to earn a position in the sport. Determination and dedication was key for this individuals tryouts, she may not have made it, but she got the good name out of it.

Student Success Statement

" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."

 The first thing that pops to my head reading this quote is labels and the actions we all so. That is when CTR comes in, being CTR brings right in your daily life choices. Labels are usually all determined of the things you do and how you do it, either wrong or right. Having a good label shows the type of person you are, the great actions you have shown others,etc. Choosing the Right gives you a good label, choosing the wrong gives you the bad labels. Labels are followed everyday, the labels will never go away. Labels are also what determines your destiny. Like i said before, labels are from the actions we have done, which is now history. With these labels, others use it to determine the benefit towards your own self. Riches are usually wanted in life, but it doesn't really bring happiness. My definition of happiness is being loved or showing love, respect, and honor towards myself,friends,family, and making a change in my own lifetime. Labels are either positive or negative, riches are temporary. Having those positive labels on you bring better riches that value more than others.

 A great example to follow up this quote is when you are applying for a job or career. When applying for something they ask you for background information about yourself or experience you have had towards something,etc. After doing the easy part, then usually and interview is called in. When in the interview you have a one-on-one conversation with a person who asks you question to help you determine if you get the job or not. Like i said before, our good name is our labels we have committed in the past. When the interviewer looks at your background and/or your experience on a certain thing, it is use to impress your own-self to see how better you are than others.If your background says you have been in prison for bank robbery, drug intake, battery charge,etc that is a label you have committed in the past that follows you. This person with this bad history chose the wrong to get what he wanted instead of choosing the right and earn what he desired. This is a great example, because your good name is usually your labels from the past that determine who you are.
