Student Success Statement: 

" Right is right, even is everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it" 
                       - William Penn '


Picture: 


Reflection: 

I believe that this quote states that by going with whats right instead of wrong is always the better choice. When you do this it allows you to become a better person in general. You feel good about yourself and the thing you can do for others. Not only will you feel good, but knowing the best thing between right and wrong is always the better choice. Your conscience can be at ease, and you, yourself, can be calm in knowing that whatever wrong that you were going to do, you picked to proper thing to do instead. These are the sweeter things in life that can make you a better person. When people go against what they KNOW is right, then that's when they need help. You can help him or her, but eventually they will learn, as you did that that doing the right thing is always the best decision that you can make.

Reflection: 
I would consider this job maybe as a second option to what I already want to do. These types of jobs do seem interesting to me but id much rather be a forensic scientist. But if i had a chance to do this then i think i take the opportunity.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement: 

Cowardice asks the question  "Is is safe?" 
Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?"
Vanity asks the question " Is it popular?"

But, conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.



Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 


Reflection: To me, I believe that this quote is telling me to choose between wrong or right and to listen to my conscience when needed to. With this, I understand that I must think first before I act, conjure my thoughts before I speak, and listen before I assume. To look within myself to find that not the popular, not the political, not the safe, but what I believe, what I presumed in my head with my thoughts is what I should think is right. Never loose faith in what are you, who you are, or what you will become. The future is yours, and let your conscience and the good will of your very being run through you like water down a river and into your head before you act, speak, think, or stand still to do nothing. Your conscience is what will move you, run oxygen through your lungs and proceed to ignite the momentum that your soul needs to think and function. So that you can continue to think and choose what is right and what is wrong. With out this, some are amounted to almost ( if not ) nothing, because they didn't think. They didn't take the time to look inside themselves. To use what every human being is given. To pursue. To move. Because they didn't take their use of time to approach their conscience to believe what right.

Picture: 

Reflection: I believe that this has a lot of opportunities fro young students in the medical field. With this, it can allow someone a great chance to pursue a career for their life in this. I don't believe I'd like to work as one because simply it is not of my interest.
