Student Success Statement

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.”

William Penn

This statement is trying to send a message that says we are all followers and we need to be a leader. We need to all be leaders and stand up for ourselves. It doesn’t matter if you are by yourself, people leave in the end anyways. New people come along that may stay, from infinity and beyond.   

Student Success Statement

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

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

This statement is sending a message that says that the right thing to do is to have respect for yourself. There is a sane that goes: you can’t love someone,  until you love yourself. You must have self-respect for yourself. How do you expect people to respect you and care for you, if you can’t even do that to yourself. Dignity could be the only thing you have left. You don’t want to give it away. That is what shows people that you are strong. 

Student Success Statement

“Right is right only when entire.”

Victor Hugo

This statement is sending a message that says you can do good things. Your opinion is what counts and people can tell you things you don’t want to her about your choice, but all you have is your opinion.  it is based on you, and only you. 

Student Success Statement

“Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.”

Thomas Edison, Inventor

This statement is sending a message that says it is based on who you are not what kind of things you have. For example if you have a variety of things as in iPhone

or other electronics, then it is based on how you act with that. You don’t want to be rude and rub it in people’s faces stating that they don’t have it but you do. just because you have those things does not mean you are a great person because you can be a brat or someone that no one want to be with. 

Student Success Statement

“The difference between the impossible and possible lies in DETERMINATION”

Tommy Lasorda

This statement gives away a message that says determination is all that you need. You can complete anything you want if you have determination, you need to have positive thought on your goals because anyone can do anything, no matter how insane it seems. Give it all you got and no one will say anything if you fail, because you put your hardest effort. You can also say that you never gave up.

Student Success Statement

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

Henry David Thoreau

This quote is sending a message that says you need to be proud of your goals, and if you are proud then that means you would want to complete them. Live your life the way you want to. People can get in the way, but in reality no one can pretty much stop you. no one will get in the way. You shouldn't let them. 

Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”

Matt Biondi

This quote is sending a message that says when you keep trying than you won’t fail anymore. For example when I am playing a water polo game, my teammates and my couch tell us that it is not based on the score, but how you play. Even if you lost it is good because you played good and you tried your best. Having persistence will change the way you look at things. 

Student Success Statement

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

Pablo Picasso

This statement is giving a message that says that if you have a goal you need to do something about it in order for it to be completed. you have a goal that wants to be accomplished. You will feel proud of yourself because you took the risk of doing something and finishing the steps fully from beginning to end. It shows how strong you are when it comes to your life. You didn't give up, you made it, and nothing stood in your way. Why? Because you didn't let anything or anyone get in the way of your future and your life. Finish what you have started. 

Student Success Statement

“Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records”

William A. Ward

This statement is telling me that I should be the one to break records, not the one to break down and give up. Be someone in life, and give the opportunity of being who I want to be. I shouldn't stop giving up just because people tell me I can’t do it. I’m going to go beyond and if your one of the people that don’t believe in me then walk away, if you’re going to support me through thick and thin then don’t tell me things that can shatter me like glass. 

Student Success Statement

“set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.”

Bo Jackson

This quote is trying to tell me not to give up on my dreams. My dreams are to precise to give up on them. Your goals aren't goals until you reach the finish line. It doesn't matter how fast you complete the goal, it matters what the reward is. Taking your time shows that you actually want this for yourself. You want it to be perfect. You want your goal to be presentable. Showing people that you did this with maybe no one’s help, or maybe with peoples help.  

Student Success Statement

“you can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”

Michael Phelps

This quote is trying to tell me that you can’t limit yourself because then you would never know how much you could have done. It’s like when someone is saying that you will never know until you try. When you limit yourself you won’t know because it’s like saying that you didn't try. When you don’t limit yourself then at least you won’t having regret of you thinking you could have done more then what you did. 

Student Success Statement

“Together Everyone Achieves More”

Anon

This quote is trying to tell me that with other peoples help you can achieve more than one goal. When you have peoples help, you seem more inspired and more supported. You get more courage in yourself, and you can tell yourself that you can do the things you set your mind too. You just have to believe in yourself.

Student Success Statement

“Work as a team to achieve your dream.”

Sarah Real

This quote is trying to tell me that you can’t do things on your own and that at moment you can ask for help. People tend to think that the impossible must be done without any help. That is wrong because the bigger the goal is, the more help you need. Unless it is a goal that most likely you can achieve yourself, and you already know that you don’t need help. When you are doing sports it is also important to know that you can count on a team. For example for swimming most people tend to think that that is an individual sport but the reality is that you need team support so that you feel that you can do it and feel supported. Or for example the gymnastics, people also think that it is an individual sport but you also need you team mates support in order to feel that you can accomplishment. It feels great to know that your team believes in you.
