Student Success Statement Mario Cuomo

Student Success Statement

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it ended on being right.”

Mario Cuomo

Reflection:  This quote is trying to tell us that if we feel that what we are going to do or what we did is not right, then it’s probably not going to be right. For example if we are thinking or if we stole something from a store and feel guilty it’s because what you did right then and there was not right at all. So we should keep in mind that we ourselves have morals and a conscience that helps us with right and wrong situations.

What I Did This Winter Break

I kinda don't remember what I did this winter break. I know that I would sleep until 10 or 12 in the morning if I was really tired. I went to my cousin's house to hang out for a bit. My best friend came to visit me a few times in my house. I went to the park the first couple of days of winter break. I also read a lot if stories in Wattpad. I finished most of my homework for AP Spanish. I went to visit my sister and her dog and I slept over on New Years Eve. I became 16 years old. I cut my hair. I got in trouble. I did all my chores. I went to TJ (Tijuana). I got new glasses. Visit some old friends. Talked to some old friends. Got new shoes. Made food and of course ate a lot. :)  Basically in three words: Ate, Sleep, Read is what I did this winter break.
