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

Reflection: I believe this quote/ statement is used by optimists. This is about looking forward, making the best of things. People shouldn't worry too much about the future, it's coming anyway.. so why stress when you have plenty of time to change the feeling. For example, if you're going to have a game in a few weeks and you're stressing out over it.. then you're doing something wrong. Instead of worrying, you could've used your time practicing, training yourself to be better. Don't worry about much, just choose the right.

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

William Mathews

Reflection: Mr. Mathews chose the right. He knows exactly what he's saying. Concentrating will lead to a positive future. If you focus on one thing.. what your mind is set on, then you'll succeed and reach the goal you've been aiming for. Removing all those distracting thoughts from your head will let you pay attention to what you're supposed to. As long as you keep your mind on one thing, there won''t be anything else that will distract you. If you feel you're getting out of track, remind yourself what you're doing. Take a break, relax, then get back on it. Clear your mind, insert positive thoughts in your head, and concentrate on the stuff you're supposed to. Choose the right.

Tips 1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1.  Focus on High Impact Activities

The key to success in high school. Is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those that have the greatest impact on your course and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

     
2. Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you're doing. If you've been given an assignment similar to one you've done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!
