Student Success Statement

"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.
B.C. Forbes

I agree with this statement because honesty is what truly makes a man and a woman. You just cant say you are honest and not show it. However honesty is sometimes used as a tool to hurt people, that is why when you are truly someone who is honest you find ways to use your honesty for good.

Student Success Statement

"Stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what's happening right this moment."

Phil Jackson

I agree with this statement because if you are doing something you should not do it because you want the win or because you feel like you are going to loose. You should do it because you are having fun and you want to make the best out of it. 

Student Success Statement

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning"

Claudius

I agree with this statement because no one can learn for you. Only you yourself can learn for your own good.  For example if you get good grades it is because you as the "Architecture" build your way up to the top, not anybody else. You are the one that builds your future.

Student Success Statement

"To be Great--Concentrate."
Orson Swett Marden

I agree with this quote because to achieve many incredible goals in your life you must concentrate. No one can just achieve anything out of thin air. For example if you want to win an award or a competition what you first must do is concentrate on a strategy or something that will help you achieve what you really desire.

Student Success Statement

"Education is a marathon--not a sprint.
Anon

I agree with this statement because your education is success just like a marathon. But for success you need to achieve a lot. It is not a sprint where you can simply say I want education and you'll get it. You need to work hard for your education.

Student Success Statement

"The man who has no imagination has no wings"
Muhammad Ali

I agree with this statement because your imagination is what makes you do all the cool and interesting thing in your life. having no imagination is like taking off the wings of a butterfly. Now it can't go on and explore all the wonderful things in life. Imagination is the key to many new doors.

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; 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"
--Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

You are the only one who will achieve what you really want to do, not anybody else. You do that with perseverance. I agree with this statement because if you persist on doing something that really makes you happy or anything involving that you of course can do it if you are persistent. Someone could be so talented but not show off his talents and never be recognized. 

Student Success Statement

"Improve your performance by improving your attitude."
Anon

I agree with this statement because your attitude is what makes you either do something good or do something bad. For example if you are playing a game with a friend with a bad attitude, getting angry because you are losing then the whole game is going to be not fun at all. However if you guys are just playing with good attitude, and enjoying the game, then it will be fun. It all depends on the attitude being given out.

Student Success Statement

"Always Do Right"
Mark Twain

I agree with this statement because it is self explanatory. YOU MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT! There is never a good excuse to choose the wrong. Even if everybody thinks something is right when it is not, it does not mean you have to choose the wrong as well. CTR always, not just right now or tomorrow but ALWAYS! good things come from doing what is right.

Student Success Statement

"Gold medals don't make champions... hard work does."
Anon

I agree with this statement because dedication is what makes you a hard working person. Also for example, pretend you are in a championship and you are competing against a certain someone and he cheats his way out of it. He have won the medal but that didn't necessarily mean that he actually won. People have to start taking the little things into consideration. 

Student Success Statement

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."
Margaret Chase Smith

I agree with this statement because just because everyone is choosing the wrong it does not mean you have to choose the wrong as well. We all have will power to choose what is right, what is right for us.

Student Success Statement

"Be Quick, but don't get into a hurry."
John Wooden

I agree with this statement because it simply speaks the truth. For example say you have to do a project, be quick and do it on time, but don't be in a hurry and make a mess.

Student Success Statement

"When an archer misses the mark he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.
Gilbert Arland

I agree with this statement because we are the ones who choose to either ctr or to ctw. It will always be our fault if we fail in something that WE tried to do not anybody else. As well as it will be because of us that we pass something that we want. For example when you fail a class it is not the teachers or fault, it is your fault, or when you pass a test, it is not the teacher it is you who over achieved. CTR all day!

Student Success Statement

"The first law of success... Is concentration  to bend all the energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.'
William Matthews

I agree with this statement because the first thing you must do when becoming successful is to concentrate on what you want to do in life. If you want to become a doctor then you must concentrate on making it possible by going to school everyday and studying all that you must learn. This goes for any other job or goal that you want. Concentration is key to many incredible things.

Student Success Statement

" Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."
Robert Kiyosaki

I agree with this statement because you should live in the moment. It is better to do the things you need in the moment than a day later or even a year or more. For example, if you are planning to go to college, you shouldn't wait until tomorrow to have good grades.  You should start now!!! That also says a lot about your character, that you are hard working and you know how to set priorities,

5 Tips for Success

Tips 3-4

Tip 3: Do Research        

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces of countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tip 4: Use a dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

5 Tips for Success

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a TEXT, the more likely you are to successfully communicate you thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

 Tips 1-2

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip: 2 Note the Author’s Writing Style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you are reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

"THE THREE NEVERS"
Never LIE 
Never CHEAT
Never STEAL

-John Wooden

I agree with this statement because it simply is the truth. If you lie, cheat, or steal that is a clear example of choosing the wrong and of course you do not want to do that. John Wooden was a great man of honesty and kindness. He made his team win 88 times in a row with out lying or cheating or anything of that sort. People should learn how to be like him.

Student Success Statement

"Character is higher than intellect."
Ralph waldo Emerson

I agree with this statement because your character defines it all. For example you may be the smartest kid at school but if you choose to be mean to others, that is not very nice. Another example may be the people who want to become someone in life but can;t because they need to work and have a job to help out in the family they have a strong character and want to achieve their goals. 

Student Success Statement

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity."
Robert E. Lee

I think this statement is beautiful. I also agree with it because it is better to choose the right and suffer for a little bit than to suffer for a long time by choosing the wrong. For example, say you don't like school at all but you want to choose the right by going to it and becoming a doctor but you need eight or more years of school. you may suffer for a while but it will have a great benefit on you. If you choose the wrong for example stealing you will go to jail and suffer for a life time.
