CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

                                                             "The Sting of the Scorpion"

                                                    Judging from the video I just saw , I can reflect a little on that because I am sometimes like that. Witnessing from what happened to the little boy is a lesson and to just do the right because you may never know what can happen to you. Also to listen to those who are knowing and wise and to never be a little rebel and a know-it all.

                                                    "When I do good, I feel good.

                                                      When I do bad, I feel bad."                                                                                                                              -Abraham Lincoln                                                                                                                                   

                  I think a lot of people can relate to this because we all do a little bad sometimes,                                     'cause we feel it just like Abe says, "I feel" we know it because of our feelings.

         Ex. 1.- If people do drugs , then later on they think of what they've done , they feel bad and regret it afterwards.                            
 Ex. 2- If you help someone out or you studied very hard for a test and you get an "A", you feel good about yourself.                                                                                                                          

   

Student Success Statement  

"You have only always to do what is right.

 It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the  

midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."

Robert E. Lee 

I think to me what this is is saying is to just trust your conscience and do what's right. To choose the right paths to your life and to not end up doing the bad things that'll get you stuck and lost in your life.

"If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. "
 -Marcus Aurelius
   Reflecting on this to me in away makes me think its saying to think before you act or say something that's      not right. It also makes me think about people who spread rumors or lies.
