"The reward for doing right is an internal phenomenon: self respect, dignity (self- worth), integrity, and self- esteem." ~Dr. Laura schlessinger

what this student success statement means to me is that you must choose the right to feel good about yourself. for example, I remember when Mr.Haymore showed us a video about a man who was homeless and a woman gave him money but she didn't realize that when she did her ring fell out; but the man didnt trade the ring or anything he saved it until he saw the woman again to give it back to her. AND HE DID!! The woman was so happy with the poor man that she and her husband made a fundraiser for the man for what he did. So basically the man had self dignity because he didnt do anything with the ring instead he saved the ring until the rightful owner came to him.

The 10 Indian Commandments

• Treat the Earth and all that dwells therein with respect 
• Remain close to the great spirit
• Show great respect to your fellow beings
• Work together for the benefit of all mankind 
• Give assistance and kindness whenever needed
• Do what you know to be right 
• Look after the well being of mind and body 
• Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good
• Be truthful and honest at all times
• Take full responsibility for your actions  

The 10 Indian commandments should be known more because they are good to follow. For example, they focus more on other than themselves. They rather help every living thing around them than to "have fun" or whatever it is that we do. If i were to be part of their tribe i would be proud to be a native american. I would encourage to people to go by these ten commandments now in days because now everyone is full of hatred that is caused by others around then. Yes, i understand how cheesy this sounds but its true me personally i put my friends and family over anything, i help my friends with their home and school issues, and i have always do what is right even if no one is standing by my side.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly"~ Otto Graham, Jr.

                              On Sunday afternoon a friend and I decided to go to the 99 cents store to buy whiteboard markers for teachers whom markers didn't work. I decided that I should've bought two packs of 3 markers. But I saw a man who only had $1.75 to pay for his stuff and I had a extra quarter so that the elderly man had two dollars, so he could just put 10 cents more. The man was so grateful because instead of buying two packs of markers I bought one so that the man could enjoy his products. I remember walking to the line of the cashier and seeing a old fragile man who was limping without his cane. I felt so bad for the man so I deiced to help him out. Another occasion happened in Sunday too. A woman was asking for money for her kids to have food. I gave her $5 my brother got mad because it was "too much money". But my mom saw how sorry I felt and she told him " if the woman lied then she lied but that Fatima did a right thing by helping other she did the right thing".  Which means that she is right, the woman or whoever could lie but if you have a good heart and give to someone in need you did was right by giving. But they did something bad by lying.
