Student Success Statement

"Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there." - Bo Jackson

I think this quote is pretty simple, its trying to say that you need to set your goals high and big and that you shouldn't give up on your dreams until you are able to accomplish them. For example if you want to go to a good university you must not give up even if you can't go straight to university go to community college and then enter university. You must not give up on your dreams. If you always give up on your dreams you will never accomplish anything in life. Point is don't stop until you accomplish all the goals you  have set high.

Student Success Statement

"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it- as long as you really believe 100 percent." - Arnold Schwarzenegger 

I believe this quote means that as long as you have the mind set of wanting to accomplish as much as you can you will be accomplishing those things and as long as you have the ambition to get farther in life as well. If you don't think you will be able to accomplish things you won't accomplish things. You need to believe you can do something to actually be able to do it. If you start doubting yourself you won't be able to get far. You need to go for what you want and let anyone put in your mind that you can't do it or let your mind think that. If you start letting your mind tell you that you can't go far in life, you won't. For example if you want to go to an Ivy League university you can't let your mind tell you that you can't and you can't start doubting that you can't do it. As long as you try as hard as you can to go to that university and you truly believe you can accomplish it you will.

"You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."          
      - Michael Phelps 24 olympic                 medals (18 gold)

I think this quote means that you can always keep going in life. There is no point in life were you can say that you can't accomplish more. THere will always be more to accomplish in life. I think it is also trying to say that the more things you have in your mind the more things you will accomplish. For example when Michael Phelps went to his first olympics he didn't say that he accomplished his goal of going to the olympics and that he was done accomplishing things. He checked going off to the olympics, but he kept on going to the olympics because he knew he could accomplish more. He went on to beat swimming records and on the last olympics he became the person with the most olympic medals. The point is that you are never really done in life there will always be more things you can accomplish.

Student Success Statement

"Try a little harder to be a little better." -Gordon B. Hinckley 

I think this quote means that if you try a little harder when you're doing something it will come out better. In order to become better you must also try harder. For example if you are going to have a test if you want to do better than your last test you should try harder by studying your notes and asking the teacher any questions you might have. If you never try harder in something you will  always stay the same instead of  bettering yourself. You need to try harder every time its the only thing you can do to better yourself.

Student Success Statement

"If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work"
             - Thomas J. Watson. 

I believe this quote means that if you want to achieve success you must start doing excellent work because if you don't you won't be able to achieve the success you want to accomplish. If you want to be excellent in something start doing excellent work since that moment. If you don't do excellent work then the excellence you won't be able to achieve the excellence you wanted to. For example if you want to do good in math class you need to start paying attention to the lesson to be able to understand the lesson and do all the work and if you need any help ask classmates or the teacher.
You need to try very hard to get the excellence you wish to achieve,
You just can't say that you want to achieve excellence you also must
do the steps and work that takes to achieve it. You can say you want
excellence all you want. but if you don't do it all the things you say
won't matter at all.

Student Success Statement

"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference." -Paul Bear Bryant 

I believe this quote means that you need to prepare to be able to win. For example you could say you want to do good on a test, but if you don't study you won't pass it. You need to have the will to study to pass the test because you could say "I'm going to pass that test" but if you don't prepare for it then you won't pass it. Another example is like if you say you want to go to a good university, you can say it all you want, but if you don't get the good grades or take the necessary steps to go to university you will end up not going.  You should have the will to win, but in the end all the matters is how well you prepared.

Paul Bear Bryant

Student Success Statement

"Righteous community unity starts with ONE upright soul,whether it is a community of family members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy pursuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone." 
                                                    -Mr.Haymore 

I think this quote means that one person has to start doing the right and the others will soon follow and unite to also do what is right to benefit each other and the community and maybe even more people. For example at at a school activity during lunch there is a game and one person joins in it will cause others to join in as well.

Student Success Statement

"Together everyone achieves more." -ANON 

I believe this quote means that you have to work with other people to accomplish goals. If you help each other out it will be easier to accomplish things in life. When you don't work with other people it makes harder and difficult to accomplish things in life. For example if you have a group project and you decide you will work with your group each of you would have your own part and will complete it faster than a person who decides to work by him/herself because he/she will have to do all the work and have more on their plate and will take more time to finish it.

• They don't leave anybody behind.

Student Success Statement.

"Your mind is garden. Your thoughts are the seeds... you can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds..." - ANON
I believe this is trying to say that if you give your mind good thoughts like the goals you would like to accomplish you will accomplish and that would be that you grow flowers. If you give your mind bad thoughts like choosing  the wrong or say you're going to accomplish something but then don't think of it a lot and just put it in the back of your mind you won't be successful in life and you'll have weeds. For example if you want to go to to a good university and you put that in your mind everyday and every moment in your life you will accomplish it. If you want to go to a good university and you put it in the back of your mind and you don't think about it a lot you most likely won't accomplish it.







You want you life to be happy and be nice like the flowers
above and you want to be successful in life just like these
flowers have been.

Whats on your mind? 

In my mind I'm thinking about my goals, how even though school could sometimes stress me out and I have to wake up early and some classes they give a lot of work its all for my benefit and my future. In my mind I'm always thinking about everything I have to do today or during the week, I also think about things I would like to accomplish during the week. For example this week I would like to finish a book that I'm reading that is 870 pages long. Also how me and my friend have been trying to get passes to an event that would be amazing if we could go and so far we've had no luck, but how we are going to keep trying to get them.

“The essential thing is not knowledge, but character.”
                                      -Joseph Le Conte

I believe this quote means that no matter how much knowledge, character is water matters more. If you're educated but are not down to earth and you're arrogant people won't care about how much knowledge you have all they'll notice and talk about is your character. If you are educated and are also down to earth and kind and choose the right, using your knowledge to help others that what matters.

"A definite worthy goal combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement."
                   -Napoleon Hill 

I believe that in this quote he is trying to say that to accomplish great things in life you must have a positive outlook because if you're negative you'll want to give up on your dreams and you won't be able to accomplish great things in life. For example if you get a bad grade on a test you shouldn't get angry or let it affect you. You should be positive and ask your teacher if there is any way you can make it up and think about ways that will help for the next time you have a test you can pass it.

"We become what we think about." - Earl Nightingale

I believe this quote means that if what you want to accomplish the goals or dreams you have an your everyday thoughts you will more likely be able to make them come true. For example if you dream of going to a 4 year university out of state and you think about it every single day you'' get there because you're always going to be thinking of what you want to accomplish. If you think about doing the wrong you'll do the wrong. If you think about doing the right you'll do the right.

                 - James Allen 

I believe that this quote is trying to say that if you have good thoughts as in you do what is right and you always think about what is right you'll be a good person and you'll be a successful person. If you chose the wrong and you have bad thoughts you'll woon't be good in life and you will most likely be a failure in life.

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." -Dean Smith 

I believe than Dean Smith is trying to say is that he wasn't trying to have all those moments were people applauded him, he was trying to make his good player into something greater, but not only make them good players but also good people in the inside, in their hearts. For example when you have to do a project you do the project creative an unique not because you want the teacher to show it off, you do it because you want the best grade you can get.

"CTR connects you to happiness and success. CTW disconnects you." - Mr. Haymore

I believe this quote means that if you choose the right you'll be happy, your conscience will feel good, you'll be successful. If you choose the wrong you'll have negative things in your life happen to you. You won't be happy if you choose the wrong you'll feel the opposite of how you would feel if you choose the right. For example if you do your homework and you turn it in on time you'll feel good and you'll get a good grade.
