Student Success Statement

"Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement."

Matt Biondi

Reflection:

If we want to change our ways and not fail anymore, we must be persistent about what we are doing. For example, if we want to make the football team, we must work hard and not give up on ourselves, that way we could make the team. If we give up, we won't become champions, instead, we will become a failure. Be persistent and never give up on your dreams and goals.

Student Success Statement by ANON

Student Success Statement

"Gold medals don't make champions...hard work does."

ANON

Reflection:

In order to become a champion, you have to work really hard. Just because someone wins a trophy doesn't mean that this trophy made them champions, instead, working hard made them champions because they had a dream to follow, and they never gave up on that dream. Now, they get to be called champions because of their hard work.

Student Success Statement by John Wooden

Student Success Statement

The Three Don'ts

Don't whine

Don't complain

Don"t make excuses

John Wooden

Reflection:

If we want people to respect us and if we want to become CTR champions, we must make sure we don't fall under these don'ts. If we whine, we won't get anything accomplished. If we complain, we will just make others make fun of us and we won't get any respect. If we make excuses, we won't be able to make ourselves look like trustworthy people. hat's why we should always do what we are told to do, unless what they tell us to do will get us in trouble.

Student Success Statement

"The Three Nevers"

Never lie

Never cheat

Never steal

John Wooden

Reflection:

What John Wooden is trying to teach us hear is how to become good people. If we lie to people, we are not being honest to others. If we cheat, we will just be liars of our own lives. If we steal, we are people who don't care about life. If we don't do any of these things, however, we will be trustworthy people. We will be CTR champions.

Student Success Statement by Woodrow Wilson

Student Success Statement

"Tell me what is right an I will fight for it."

Woodrow Wilson

Reflection:

What he means is he will stand up for what is right but not by using violence, but by doing the right thing and not choose the wrong. By choosing the right and being CTR champions, we can stand up and help people who choose the wrong. If someone tries to take away our freedom, we will stand up and fight against that person so we can still be CTR champions.

Student Success Statement by Confucius

Student Success Statement

"To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice"

Confucius

Reflection:

Someone should know when to do the right thing, and when they don't do it, they are choosing the wrong. For example, if you are taking the test, and you know that doing the test without cheating is the right thing to do, and you still cheat, you are making yourself a bad person. Choosing the wrong is a place where people tend to be nothing more than cowards, but choosing the right is a place where people are champions.

Student Success Statement by Helen Keller

Student Success Statement

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Helen Keller

Reflection:

In order for people to understand that choosing the right is a good thing, one must need more people to join him and choose the right. With one person, people will think that choosing the right is just a waste of time. But with more people helping you out to choose the right, people will admire us and help us in our fight to show others that CTR is the correct path to take. Together, we can change people from CTW people to CTR champions.
