   Student Success Statement

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

                                                                     -Alex Linares

Reflection:

This statement to me means that when you choose the right thing to do it always is right but when you choose the wrong thing it will turn out wrong. You have to do the right thing in order for things to come out tour way. One time I decided not to ditch school with my friends because I had a feeling that something was going to happen and yes that day they did a random check and went to the classroom’s and they found out they did ditch. I felt good that day and I choose the right.
