Student Success Statement

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”
-William Penn

                 I honestly don’t know what to say like yeah right is right and wrong is wrong but everyone’s right and wrongs are different. It’s not what society really says that makes is right it’s all on you are your morals and beliefs. What is truly right and what is truly wrong. There are honestly so many ways in where this quote can go. I understand the part in where it mentions how if its right and others think it’s wrong, well it’s your right and that’s all that really matters. Some people just like to be led by the crowd rather than themselves when in reality that person had been right all along and everyone else was wrong.

Thoracic surgeons are doctors who operate lungs, heart, esophagus, and other organs in the chest.  There are different types of thoracic surgeons; cardiac or cardiovascular, general thoracic and 
congenial heart surgeon.

Reflection:
I wouldn’t like to become a thoracic surgeon for the reason being that the persons like is in your hands and what if you make a mistake because you are too nervous, I wouldn’t mind becoming a cardiologist because there isn’t any surgery involved.

Student Success Statement
“The reward for doing right is mostly and internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.”
-Dr. Laura Schlessinger

This is a great quote because it’s pretty much true because when you do something right nobody is really there to give you a high five or give you $10,000 but when you do it you get a sensation that you are doing something good and you feel great in the inside, so when doing the right you are pleasing yourself more than you are pleasing others, and that’s a good thing.

Student Success Statement
“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in DETERMINATION”
-Tommy Lasorda
            I totally agree with his quote because in reality there is no difference between a possible and an impossible goal, the only difference is that you have to work harder for one than the other. I don’t believe there is an impossible goal it just all depends on you and your determination.
