Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

 

o  Wilford Woodruff

In this quote by Wilford Woodruff, one can you never win when you do something wrongfully. Yes you may have achieved something because you made it happen but you did not do it the right way. The accomplishment is really not there.  For example if you are in a sport and your team or you as an individual wins the championships but to do so you or your team cheated. You are not the biggest winner here but you are the biggest loser. You earned something wrongfully taking the chance from others who attempted righteously.

“Dare to stand alone.”

 

o  Thomas S. Monson

               In this quote by Thomas S. Monson, one can say it is easy to hop on the bandwagon and do what everyone else is doing, but it is not easy to stand alone. Many people commit to the wrong doings just because everyone else is doing it. Just because everyone else does it, it does not necessarily mean it’s the right or best thing to do. Thomas S. Monson’s quote is saying to stand alone daringly because it is not easy but it is the best thing to do.

The Miracle of Forgiveness

               In the video, a man Eric Smallridge was convicted of two murders while being under the influence of alcohol. He crashed to a car with two 20 year old ladies in it, Megan and Lisa. At first Eric was not so apologetic to his actions but one day Megan’s mother, Renee sent him a letter acknowledging that she has forgiven him. He soon apologized in letter and in person. Eric’s sentence was 22 years in prison which soon was cut to half because Renee had asked for it. Now they go to high schools explaining their situation and how they dealt with it as an example not to drink. Renee believes forgiveness was the best way to solve her grief, now she is setting the example to others.

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

o Alan Paton    

              

       In this quote by Alan Paton, one can say once we are hurt deeply by something or someone the only way to recover is through forgiveness. For example if one were to betray another and the person betrayed is in deep pain, there is no other way to feel better besides forgiving and moving on. If one were not to move on and forgive they would stay upset and no one or anything else can make them feel better besides that.
