“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

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

Talent: will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius: will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education: will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

This quote is trying a message that says nobody will be successful just because you have talent. Talent is not going to take you anywhere in live. Being a genius is not going to help you as much, because you can be super smart but you also need to have common since. Education will help you because that is why when you are a miner children go to learn how it is to get a job so you can be prepared, but it doesn't help you as much as persistence and education. Persistence helps you because you don’t stop, you prove everyone that told you that you couldn't do it in life wrong. Determination also helps you because it allows you to do what you have to do in order to get what you want. It lets you complete your goals. And that’s the best feeling. To know that you are worthy enough to complete your own goals.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

This quote tells me that goodness never fails so that I can always rely on the goodness. That goodness will never leave my side, it would be me that leaves its side when I don’t CTR(choose the right). It will be me who fails when I don’t do what is right. Goodness never fails its always there for you to change your mind but sometimes it doesn't do a good job and you do the wrong thing anyways. For example: when your friend tells you to go with him to robe a store. Goodness is always there and telling you the thing that could happen if you go along with it, but then the bad things can out do the good. So then you end up being at the store with your friend and robing the place.
