“Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy.”

David A. Bednar

Reflection: What this statement means is that being obedient is going to make us happy. It makes us happy because when we are obedient it makes others happy and making others happy should make us happy. When someone is disobedient, it makes everyone unhappy. It makes you unhappy because whoever you were supposed to be obeying is unhappy and when you get in trouble for being disobedient, you will be unhappy.

            I’m doing okay with my life planning goals. I have about 100+ of them. I haven’t really accomplished many; only about 8. What I need to do better is read my goals more so I can actually accomplish them. I could also write more short range goals so it won’t take me so long. I could also start trying a little bit more to reach my goals because if I dot, I’m never going to accomplish them.

Student Success Statement

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.”

Hippocrates

Reflection: I think this statement means that your health is VERY important. Without it, you wouldn’t really be able to do anything. When you’re healthy, you can go anywhere you want and do anything you want. But if you unhealthy, then there’s always going to be a limit to what you can do. That’s why health is your most valuable possession.
