Student Success Statement

“I will persist until I succeed”

Og Mandino

This quote has a message that says people shouldn't give up on their dreams or goals. For example when you try out for a team and you made it in, you are not just going to stop there. You are going to train hard to get better in the sport. You can upgrade in being captain, and or another bigger role in the sport. Another example could be, when you do your homework you will not give up on the problem that you are stuck on, because you want to feel accomplished. You will get a good grade for it. 

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.

“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. 

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.    

 

     

Student Success Statement 

I have three messages:

• We should never, ever give up
• You are never too old to chase your dreams 
• It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a dream 

Diana Nyad, American Swimmer 

This quote is about how you are never to old to follow your dreams which means that you if you didn't have a chance to do what you wanted to do then you have a choice or an opportunity to do what you want. We should never give up because we could be missing out in life.
