Student Success Statement

"You can't hire someone else to do your pushups for you."                                                                                       -Jim Rohn 
This quote means that you can't have someone do the work for  you, you have to do it on your own. For example if you don't do your homework and you decide to copy off a friend, you might receive credit for doing the homework but what good is it if you have the credit if you didn't do it on your own, you didn't learn anything. You do your homework to get more practice in something and there is no use of it if you just copy off a partner. Its like you can't hire a person to go to medical school for you to get a degree, you'll be a doctor and you won't even know know what you are doing. You won't get far in life if the only thing you want is for others to do the work. In groups projects if you have to do research and you let your partners do all the work when it comes to the presentation and teacher asks you a question about the research you won't know anything about it. Another example can be that there is many worksheets the teachers give that you can find online and that you can also find the answers for, but what use it to cheat off the internet if when the day of the test comes you won't know anything because you didn't do it yourself.
