“If I've got correct goals and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.”- Dan Dierdorf

 What Mr. Dierdorf is trying to say is that if you have goals you must try to make them come true the best way you know how. After that, all of the other things that you would like to do will happen and you will achieve more of your goals. You just have to do the right thing all the time.

“The most important thing that you will ever have is good values.”

– Dennis Prager

What Mr. Prager is trying to say is that no matter what you have in life, having good values should be something that you should always be proud of. If you have good values you will be more successful and life and you will be liked by more people and that will open doors for new opportunities for you. Your values are something that you should always live by because they will help you lead a better life and get you to become a better person. 

Optician

Duties and Responsibilities: An optician dispenses fit eyeglasses and contact lenses following prescriptions of an ophthalmologist or optometrist. They examine the prescription and recommend an eyeglass frame for patients.

Salary: $44,605 annually

Education: To become an optician you must at least have a high school diploma. Opticians typically have on-the-job training that requires them to learn sales and office management practice. They must also take courses on optics, eye physiology, and business management among many other courses. Lastly, they must be licensed and pass the state exams.

Reflection: I would not like to become an optician because this job doesn't seem like something that I would like to have in a near future. 

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-       Wilford Woodruff

This statement means that you will never gain anything new if you do what is wrong. For example, you might have cheated on a test and you may think that you have gained something but you really didn't. You don’t become a better person if you do what is wrong, you will become a worse person that you were before. 

LAUSD Families

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

 – Dr. Laura Schlessinger

What Dr. Schlessinger is trying to say is that, the best reward that you can get for choosing the right is a good feeling within yourself sure there can be other rewards but the best on will always be having a good feeling within your heart.

Lausd offers students many opportunities to have fun before or after school. They have the opportunity to participate in beyond the bell, along with other activities. Parents also benefit in lausd’s services because they get to see report cards and receive handbooks so that they can understand what is going on in their school. They also get informed on bullying and what they can do if their child is getting bullied. Students also get information on graduation requirements and DACA. All of these student services benefit us students because we are informed on everything that goes on in our school and we have the opportunity to participate in after or before school activities that can benefit our learning.
