"The Three Nevers- Never Lie Never Cheat Never Steal" Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“The Three Nevers”

Never lie

Never cheat

Never steal

-John Wooden

I strongly agree with John Wooden’s statement because no one should ever choose the wrong. As he states, no one should ever lie, cheat or steal; it would only bring you to a guilty conscience. Once you have done any of these wrongs, you have already chosen to go the wrong path in life and you will be faced with negative consequences. An example can be that if you go to a store and decide to steal some candy that is choosing the wrong. Even though it may not be worth a lot, it still is a crime to steal. It does not matter how small lying, cheating, or stealing can be; if you do it, you did it, and that’s choosing the wrong.

Tony Farmer Basketball Player CTW

Summary:

This story was about a high school story named Tony Farmer who was sent to prison. He was sentenced to three years for kidnapping his girlfriend and stealing her valuable things such as credit card, wallet, and keys.

Reflection:

What I think about this situation is that it is really disappointing. He was one of the best basketball players in the Ohio high school. He was the highest recruited player. He chose the wrong when he decided to kidnap his girlfriend and take her belongings. It does not make sense how someone who is doing good and is going in the right paths all of a sudden does something bad that changes their life completely.
