Student Success Statement
"To be great--concentrate."
Orison Swett Marden
Reflection:
In order to have a bright future, one must concentrate on what their future will be about. For example, if you have a goal you want to accomplish, and you keep forgetting about it, then you are not concentrating on that goal. Concentration helps a lot because that is what keeps us on that path to success and concentration helps us choose the right and become better people.
Student Success Statement
"Improve your performance by improving your attitude."
ANON
Reflection:
If you want to be better at something, you have to improve you attitude so you can see that goal in a different matter. For example, if you want to be on the basketball team, you have to change the way you see the sport. Don't get mad when you make a mistake, just learn from that mistake. That way, we can all accomplish something in our life.
Student Success Statement
"When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself."
Gilbert Arland
Reflection:
When you try to achieve a goal, and you fail to meet that goal, you feel sadness within yourself because you didn't accomplish what you wanted. For example, if you were going to take a test the next day, and you only study for 30 minutes instead oh an hour, and the next day you take the test and you fail, you should feel all that failure inside yourself because you didn't try hard enough. So to get better, one must improve themselves. That way, we can be able to accomplish our goals.
Student Success Statement
"When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.
This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will be abler to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."
John Wooden
Reflection:
If we want to accomplish something in life, we should never give up on it. If we want to achieve our goals, we make sure we keep trying to reach that goal every single day. Every day is a new day, and every day, you can learn something new, and once you learn something new, it's a win for you because you have not given up on your dream. Once you keep trying, one day you will be proud to say, "I have accomplished my goal."
Student Success Statement
"When you can believe you can--you can."
Dr. Maxwell Maltz
Reflection:
If you are trying to reach a goal, always tell yourself, "I can do it!", because when you believe in your goal and you reach for it, you can succeed. If you don't think you can accomplish your goal, think again. When you have belief, you can accomplish anything!
Student Success Statement
Goals
"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are."
Arnold Glasgow
Reflection:
When you want to achieve a goal, you must know the path and the things you are going to do in order to reach a goal. You can't just say, "I'm going to be a doctor" and not have a plan about how you are going to become a doctor. If you want to get far in life, you need to know the path you are going to take, otherwise you are going to get lost. If you choose the wrong path, you won't go far. If you choose the right, the possibilities are endless.
