Student Success Statement 

"When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."

John Wooden

Reflection: I completely agree with his quote. The most meaningful part of this quote is when John mentioned "the most important rule".. simply because it's true. He is a very wise man and those words he spoke are nothing but the truth, in an optimist's point of view. He only want the best for everyone. As long as you improve yourself, day by day, you'll make a difference. If you push yourself to do your best, you'll reach your goal eventually only because you are better than how you were yesterday. Setting goals is what can help you reach your destination even quicker! You'll have something to look forward to. Choose the right.

"Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it's right. These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity."

W. Clement Stone

Reflection: In order to live the life you want, you must be able to say "no" when you don't agree, you'll have to deal with the truth and obviously, you'll have to choose the right. The choices you make will affect YOUR future. Don't always rely on others. Most of the time, you're the only one who knows what's best for yourself. For example, if you do what others want you to do and you're not happy with the outcome.. that'd be considered a waste of time. That's why you must choose the right, live your life by those three magic keys.

“I shall pass through the life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again.”

Etienne de Grellet

Reflection: What this quote means to me is that people shouldn’t be stopped from doing something good. If they want to help somebody in whatever way they’d like, then they should do what they want. They’re not always going to be around.. Helping others even if they don’t have enough for themselves, is a really kind thing to do.
