Mario Cuomo

This means that when you feel something wrong its because your doing something wrong, For example, if you are being pressured into doing drugs or anything like that but you feel bad about it and still do it, you are choosing the wrong. You will feel horrible and guilty. Your mind feels when you do something right and when you do something wrong. When you are aware that you are choosing the wrong you will feel bad and guilty. When you choose the right, you will feel good about yourself.

If you do bad things you are the only one who can change that mistake no else can. If a drug addict want to stop doing drugs, only he can make the choice. Only he can send himself to rehab.

"When I good, I feel good.

When I do bad, I feel bad."

Abraham Lincoln

When you do the right thing you will feel good about yourself. For example if you do what is expected before they tell you, you will feel good that you did what you were supposed to and you might even get a praise. When you do the bad thing you will feel bad about yourself. For example, if you don't do your homework then you will suffer the consequences and feel bad about yourself.

Student Success Statement 

"I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore 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

Choose the right always because you wont ever be in the same situation again. It means that you should always do the right thing because you may never know if you are put in that situation again. Once you skip an act of kindness you can never go back to it again. For example, if you see a homeless person on the street you should help them out right then and there because you never know if you'll see that particular person ever again.

Robert E. Lee

I think this statement means that once you practice doing what is right it will become a life long habit and you will probably never worry about doing wrong things. once you do the right thing you will feel better about yourself and if you do the wrong thing your conscience will continue making you feel guilty.

 I have three messages.

(1) We should never, ever give up.

(2) You are never too old to chase your dreams.

(3) It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.

Diana Nyad

These messages are meant to make you strive for success. First, you should never give up, no matter how hard it is because if you give up you might loose the chance of anything getting better. Second, no matter how old you are you can accomplish your dreams. This means that your age isn't preventing you from making your dreams come true. Diana Nyad was 64 and she still swam from Cuba to Florida after numerous failed attempts. Last, you can't accomplish your dreams by yourself. You need a team or a partner to support you and give you advice the whole way.
