Student Success Statement

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

Henry Ward Beecher 

What Henry is trying to tell us is that we have to be better than what people expect from us being in anything in any form but we must be better than what people expect from us. Like say your teacher expects you to be a B or C student you have to push your self and not make excuses so you can prove your teacher wrong and be higher than what he or she expected you to be. So don't hold back stop making excuses be better than what you are now be yourself because there is no one better than you and to prove that you must be better that what people expects from you. If someone is trying to put you down saying that you won't do this you won't make this you don't have the talent then prove them wrong, prove to them that you are better than them by doing exactly what they said you couldn't do and when you do that they will feel sorry for themselves.

To Do Good

"The best recreation is to do good."

William Penn 

What William is trying to tell us is that when you do good you feel good and when you do bad you feel bad. AN example of feeling good is when you helping a homeless man by giving money you feel good after wards because you know you choose the right. An example of feeling bad is when you don't study for a test and fail it, you get that feeling inside of you that makes you feel that you should've studied but you didn't because you choose the wrong and now you feel terrible. So the best recreation is to do good and to always choose the right. 

Choice

Choice

"Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have of tomorrow"

Alan Stein

What Alan is trying to tell us is that you choose what you want to become when you are older, you choose the right and wrong decisions you make. It's all on you no one will choose for you what college or carrier you want to go or be. When you choose the right thing you will be successful, you will live a happy life, but its all in your choice. What Alan is also trying to say in his question is if the things you do right now or the decisions you make today, will it help become what you want to become when you are older.
