"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right." 

Mario Cuomo

I think the quote means that if you're doing something that doesn't feel right you probably shouldn't do it cause if it doesn't feel right it most likely will end up being wrong. So if it doesn't feel right make sure to re-check if it is or isn't.

"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me."

Carol Burnett

I think she is trying to say that you are in control in your life not anyone else, so don't let any one change who you are because everyone is their own person and no one should be able to change who that person is. If some one were to tell you that you need to change the way you are you wouldn't do it because that isn't what you want.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

Abraham Lincoln

This quote is telling me that when you do something good you feel good about yourself on the inside. When you do something bad, in other words, you don't feel as great as you should. In fact you actually feel bad about your self. The quote is trying to ask you whether you want to feel good about yourself or not. For example if you see a lady walking out of the groceries the fall and you choose to help her out and walk her to her car you'd feel good about your self. What if the same thing happens but you want to look cool in front of your friends so instead you just make fun of her. As you pass by you will feel terrible on the inside.  

Last week.

Last week was kind of a frustrating week. I was told by a doctor that I couldn't play football for a week due to an ankle injury. I still went to practice all week just to help out. That Friday we had a game, it was away so the day before we all lined up to get our away jerseys. After practice my coach approached me and asked me if I wanted to suit up even if I wasn't playing  just to be on the side line as a team. We ended up loosing that game, we did have a really good play at the end when one of our team mate took it all the way to the end zone!

Student Success Statement

"I shall pass through this life but once. Any good there for that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it; for I shall never pass this way again." 

ANON

I think this quote means that life only happens once so live it to the fullest and make right decisions while you are living it. Spend your life choosing what is right not the wrong and it will be best to live right than wrong.

"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.".

Robert E. Lee

 You will have a good conscience if you practice on choosing what is right so much that your conscience will get used to choosing the right so often that when ever it comes to choosing wrong or right your conscience will already know choosing the right will be the best thing.
