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.”

President Calvin Coolidge  

Reflection: from my point of view I believe that this quote is trying to tell and explain to us that in order to reach success, failure will always be a part of your journey. But Each and every time you fail, never give up, stand up and try harder. Go farther than you could have ever imagined. For example being the least smart person in your math class, every time you fail you try harder, you study each and every chance you get, go over through your entire lesson. Ask the teacher for help, or attend tutoring. Then watch yourself reach higher than expectations. ;)

Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”

Matt Biondi (the qt)

Reflection: what I believe this statement means is that being intelligent enough to do what is right at all times, to go beyond expectations, to achieve more than wanted, to do better in all, is all you really need in order to go from failure to achieving what you want. Because nothing is impossible if you set your mind straight to it.

John F. Kennedy Video

What I can recall from this video is that in order to not only be a great citizen, but to be a great person you need to always be active. Physical activity is the key to a healthy body. And you should always stay active. 

Student Success Statement

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the park of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

President John F. Kennedy

Reflection: this statement has many different meanings, but the importance to this in my opinion is that you should always maintain your body fully healthy because without your health you’re technically not fully capable of accomplishing everything you’d want to achieve. Second of all not only would you be physically damaging yourself but you’d be mentally hurting yourself because your body is technically the most important thing after your brain. (;

become one for many reasons. First because it doesn’t catch my attention, second it doesn’t seem like my type of job, and third I wouldn’t like working with eyeglasses. (x 

Student Success Statement

“No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.”
