Student Success Statement

is like a ship without a

rudder

Chinese Proverb

Reflection: What this Chinese Proverb is referring to is that in order for the world to be in peace, every individual has to make en effort to beautify their character.

The Six Pillars of Character

The six pillars include:
Trustworthiness
Respect
Responsibility
Fairness
Caring
Citizenship

Pillar 1 | Trustworthiness 
This pillar is colored blue and represents the pillar of trust.
- A good example of trustworthiness is when your told to do something. Does someone trust you enough to know you'll do it?

Pillar 2| Respect
This pillar is colored yellow/gold and represents the pillar of respect.
-Treating every person fairly and equally can be a good example of respect.

Pillar 3| Responsibility
This pillar is colored green and represents the pillar of being a responsible person.
-Getting things that need to be done, done, is a good example of responsibility.

Pillar 4| Fairness
This pillar is colored orange and represents the pillar of being a fair individual to all.
-In sports fairness is essential, and always welcomed.

Pillar 5| Caring
This pillar is colored red and represents the pillar of being compassionate and caring.   
-Being a considerate human to everyone and show compassion can be a good example.

Pillar 6| Citizenship 
This pillar is colored purple and represents the pillar of good citizenship.
-Helping others in their hour of need is always a good example of good citizenship.



Reflection: I think that these pillars are essential in being a good person and contributor towards society. Not only does it do good for others, but it demonstrates who you are as a person. Without one the entire pillar chart would not function properly, therefore all pillars are as important as each other.

Student Success Statement

Memorial Day

Memorial Day Research

1| What is Memorial Day?

     Memorial Day is a day in which we remember all those who are active or deceased 

in the military.

2| What is the purpose of Memorial Day?

   The purpose of memorial day is to honor the active and deceased members in the military.

3| When is it?

4| What are a few ways to show honor and respect Memorial Day?

   One way people can honor Memorial Day is by reflecting on the impact military staff have on our lives, and honor them by doing charitable work for the day.

Many cemeteries hold Annual Decoration Days for those who are fallen military members

I will reflect on the impact all members, alive or deceased have brought to the millions of Americans since the beginning of the country.

LAUSD Families

1.FamilySource Partnership Program
-This service would not benefit me personally

Student Success Statement

The reward for doing right is mostly

an internal phenomenon; self-respect,

dignity (self-worth), integrity, and

self-esteem"

The feeling that you did something to improve the life of someone else, will not only bring you pleasure, but peace knowing you did the best you could.

3/ Which on of these services will you use?
Mental Awareness is a problem everyone encounters, so its safe to say I will most likely use this service.

  

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: My personal opinion on this, is it means to be an individual and stand by what you believe is morally acceptable. It means to have your own identity and to follow what you personally feel is right, not what everyone is persuading you to believe in. Most importantly it means to have the courage to stand out on what you believe, and not to sell yourself out to please others. 

Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: A Nursing Home Administrator is responsible for overlooking the staff and personnel, finances, medical care, medical supplies, facilities, etc.

Salary: Someone who is pursuing this career is expected to make $65,000 - $90,000 a year

Education: A Nursing Home Administrator needs to meet the standards set by the state of California and take the National Nursing Home Administrator Exam (NAB)

Reflection: Personally, I wouldn't pick such a career only because this type of work does not interest or intrigue me. 

Forgiveness

Reflection: In the clip we saw about forgiveness, they spoke about a driver by the name of Eric Smallridge, who was under the influence and stuck another car and killed 2 women, both named Megan and Lisa. The story goes on where he gets sentenced 22 years in prison, but because of change of heart from Megan’s mothers, Renee, his sentence got cut short and he was released earlier than anticipated.  As a result, Renee and Eric have traveled been to various high schools to speak about the dangers of drinking and driving. Renee’s forgiveness not only cut Eric’s sentence short, but it gave them the opportunity to educate the youth about drinking responsibly and the precautions to take before causing a fatal tragedy on the road.

“When a deep injury is done to us,

we never recover until we forgive”
