Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection

I think that this statement is talking about the fact that if you don’t have a goal you won’t know which way to follow and it would be harder for you to succeed. As if you already know what you want to be and what your goals are you are most likely to succeed and it would be easier. Like the example he used a ship without a rudder wouldn’t know which direction to go. So it’s better for you to set up your goals now so you won’t have to suffer later.

Student Success Statement

“If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.”

Conclusion: If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.

                               Chinese Proverb

Reflection

I agree with this proverb simply because character determines what a person is cable of doing. In order to have peace in the world people have to have good morals and qualities. Just how these Chinese Proverb states.

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating”

Sophocles

Reflection

I strongly agree with this statement because if you win and you decided to cheat it’s not good probably you are going to feel that sensation of winning for a little while but then you won’t be able to live with the guilt of knowing that you cheating. But in the other hand if you didn’t win but you played or did everything right than you would feel proud of yourself because you did everything you could’ve done to win and you would just keep trying and trying.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer. We could host a parade dedicated for the men and women who died in the U.S. military. Customize a special offer for those who present military ID, such as 20 percent off your product or service.

Student Success Statement

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

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection

I agree with this statement because it’s the truth and anyone that don’t agree with it wouldn’t have evidence to support it because it’s obvious if you do the wrong you won’t get anything in exchange. For example you forget to go to tutoring and you keep lying to your teacher making up excuses well guess what you chose the wrong and you aren’t getting anything back instead you are becoming a liar and you aren’t learning. 

LAUSD: Families

1.                       Counseling and Guidance

Families overcoming Under Stress™ (FOCUS) provides resiliency training to military children and families. It teaches practical skills to meet the challenges of deployment and reintegration, to communicate and solve problems effectively, and to successfully set goals together and create a shared family story. Developed by a UCLA-Harvard team, FOCUS teaches military children and families affected by multiple deployments to understand their emotional reactions, communicate more clearly, solve problems more effectively, and set and achieve their goals. Parents and children—from preschoolers to teens—learn to use tools that will better prepare them for each new deployment. Families are directly impacted when a parent returns with significant levels of combat operational stress. A parent might return home and encounter deployment reminders in their daily life, leading to changes in their mood and behavior. These changes can be upsetting to children and spouses, and affect parenting and marital relationships. FOCUS helps families understand how reactions to deployment reminders can influence relationships and teaches skills to deal with them.

2. LAUSD PARENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Parents as Equal Partners in the Education of Their Children, a resolution adopted by the Board of Education in December 2010, embraces family strengths and assets as essential to the academic success of students, and recognizes parents as the first and most important lifelong teachers of their children. To that end, families and schools accept responsibility for student success

These services would defiantly benefit me personally in many ways for example if I need counseling I would just contact my school’s counselor.

My family would most likely use it in times we need help and don’t know who to ask them we would use this services.
