"CTR connects you to happiness and success. CTW disconnects you."

Student Success Statement

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Aristotle

I think what he means is if you study and you become a genius that's amazing, but what do you lose?
You lose many friends, your social skills, and you become unwanted because you are too smart. But if you were to learn but you also split your time with friends, you can learn and have a good time without losing much.

Student Success Statement

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."

Theodore Roosevelt

This is a strong quote because everyone has to make a choice, sometimes it might be, "Should I do my homework, or wait until tomorrow?" The decision is simple, you should do it, why? Because it's the best choice you can make. It's the best for you because it helps you feel good and makes you a little smarter.

Student Success statement

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra T. Benson

This is a true quote because she is completely right. No matter how much you try to feel good about it you never will. If you steal a kids lunch money for example, you will enjoy it at first, but after you realize what you did, you will never feel good because you stole money and food from a kid.

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

Margaret Chase Smith

I think what she means is that, you truly define who you are in difficult situations. For example, if you see somebody get in a fight, you can either show you care and try to break it off, or be just like every other person and stand there and watch. Maybe, you can just watch a lady have trouble passing the street, or you can actually go out there and help her pass the street, when everybody else wouldn't have done it.
