“Obedience is the test of life”

-         Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:  Obedience goes a long way. Actions go a long way. In today’s society, everyone is for themselves and tension build up which leads to disobedience. In life you face many hardships and tests but the one of the greatest ones is obedience. With temptation, everything becomes real and many act in a negative action. But the greatest test you will ever receive is survival.

“Obedience sums up our entire duty”

-Hosea Ballou

Student reflection: Obedience is greater than its interpretation. Obedience is a word of life and morals. Obedience is not our duty, but what to obey is our responsibility. Our duty is on earth is to behave and help the world with positive morals Not mass destruction and war. Sometimes those who you are obeying are the ones who do not own up to their obedience. Not everyone that obeys is good.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

-         Sophocles

Reflection:

    Success is the case of many failures, with that in mind, I emphasize that many successful stories, were filled with dirt and cheating. Failing with honor is beyond of the greatest things any human can do. Why, because in our human nature, we are filled with greed, corruption and negligence. To win by cheating is a greater lie that to cheat on a test. To lose with honor, shows dignity and shows responsibility.

Integrity

Integrity

 In class, we watched a video about the 16^th president Abraham Lincoln and his temptations with whiskey and tobacco. Along a ride with his coachmen he is asked if he would like to take a drink of whiskey with his coachmen and president Lincoln declined. Later, Lincoln is asked to take a smoke with his coachman and he says yes but tells the coachmen a story of when he was a young boy. Back when he was 9 years old his mother was very ill and would not get well. He stood by his mother’s deathbed as she asked him to promise him to never use whiskey or tobacco. He promised and as he told the coachmen, the coachmen gave him honor for keeping his promise.This relates to many people but with deep disappointment, not many carry or are taught they value of integrity.  Integrity is doing what is right when no one is watching and doing whats right when everyone is watching. It's complete honesty and honor.  It's not what you commit but how you act upon it, its not what you see but how you look at it, and its not how your life is but how you live and change the world,

“A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself”

-         Noemi Trigueros

Reflection:

 Over time, we change and our attitude’s change. Our character is shaped by events and changes in life we could go from bad to good, from good too bad in a short time. We are influenced by negatives, but mainly no one turns negatives into positives. A person who chooses the right within himself or herself is indeed a champion because they fall and get back up, they admit their faults, but most of all they change the world.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”

-         Henry David Theorem

Reflection: We often dream that will succeed. We often dream of land with peace. We often get lost in our dreams that we do not turn those dreams into a reality. It’s like we are in a coma, and it’s hard to wake and to face the reality, the truth. Dreams are our escape and our reason to keep going but we ask ourselves, “Why? Why can’t our dreams come true?” and the truth, is that we either don’t work hard enough, or we are distracted by other realities and responsibilities or our dreams are simply meant to be but it does not mean we aren't meant to be happy. It comes with time.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

Talent: will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius: will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education: will not; the world is full of educated derelicts

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”

Student Reflection: Out of all my beliefs the topic of education has been my main interest. I believe that education is not academics. I believe that education understands the value of things, living, and knowing.  A person can be very bad in mathematics but very skilled in art. A person can be very skilled in mathematics but could do poorly in English Literature a smart individual will keep going no matter how hard the situation gets or how many barriers they have to conquer.
