Statement #37

Student Success Statement

“Set your goals high, and don’t

stop till you get there.”

Bo Jackson

Reflection: I believe what he is trying to say is that we must dream becoming the best that we can be, if we almost make it we are better than not having that goal. Do not stop for nothing that is the lesson, dream big and don't stop.

Statement #36

Student Success Statement

“You can’t put at limit

on anything. The

more you dream, the

farther you get.”

Michael Phelps

22 Olympic Medals (18 Gold)

Reflection: I think this statement means that there 

is no boundary, no set line, no goal we can't reach. Once we set a goal for our selves there is no keeping us away from it. We need to strive for something and even if the goal seems a bit far fetched, we must set our mind to it and try.  

Restoring Humanity

Restoring faith in Humanity

I believe in the past centuries we as a species have grown to be more self-efficient and by that we have unattached ourselves from our humanity and this emotion have grown dull and not needed. So I say help every person you see that needs it, so no matter how shy you may be just help out, everyone counts. 

Statement #36

Student Success Statement

“Try a little

harder to be a

little better.”

Gordon B. Hinckley

Reflection: I think this statement is encouraging us 

to try a little harder, because that little bit in the long run can mean a lot. To be the best you can be you must give a 110%, just like the saying. That is how we can get better with any subject like language, math , science, whatever it is give more than what you are.

excellence, you can get there

today. As of this second, quit

doing less-than-excellent work.”

Reflection: I believe what Mr.Watson is trying to 

express is, if you work, strive, want to be excellent then you mustn't settle for anything less.

Statement #33

Student Success Statement

“Righteous community unity starts with ONE

upright soul, whether it is a community of family

members, students, neighbors, teammates, or

business associates. Unity conquers worthy

pursuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone.”

Mr.Haymore

Reflection: I believe what this quote means is that two heads are better than one when it comes to a worthy pursuit.

There is no need for a alone project, all you need is many people with one goal in mind and you have already succeeded.

Statement #32

Student Success Statement

Together Everyone Achieves More

Anon

Reflection: I believe what this person is trying to say is that together the work effort is split and the success is the same or even multiplied. So why not work with other people. Some of you might say that the other person doesn't work as hard or you are shy. So you find someone who is going to work or get over your fear. Just know the easier it is with team mates it will be that much harder by yourself.

Teamwork

• The picture is implying that you should work as a team and that it is better to work together than alone
• I see teamwork, all for one purpose, to reach the top
• I see group of people holding each other up
• The picture is implying that everyone in a team should contribute to the cause
• The picture is implying the leader should be the most enduring and strong
• I see unity, as if the team was one big person hiking up the mountain instead of Four individual people

• I see perseverance in each one of them
• I see a group effort

Student Success Statement

“Work as a team

to achieve your dream.”

Sarah Real

Reflection: I believe what Sarah Real is trying to say is that as long as you got a team anything is possible and you can achieve your dream. If you work with 2 or 200 people as long as everyone is contributing to the cause you can achieve what you were trying to achieve. So work together, work hard, and you will reach the goal.

Student Success Statement

“You will become as great as your

dominant aspiration (goal).”

James Allen

Reflection: I believe what he is trying to say is that you will only go as far as you want to go no one can make you go for your goal. Your dominant aspiration is your drive to do, to walk, to run, to chase it. Eventually you meet your goal and you become it.

“A definite worthy goal,

combined with a positive mental

attitude (PMA), is the starting

point of all worthwhile

achievement.”

Napoleon Hill

Reflection: I think what Mr. Hill is trying to say is that there is no goal more worthwhile than one that requires you to find one good strong goal and combine it with a positive mental attitude.

Statement #28

Student Success Statement

“We become what we

think about.”

Reflection: I believe what he is trying to say is 

that we become what we want to be, not what 

others want us to be. Our thoughts, our mind, our 

decisions make our life. There is no way to not 

become what you think about because no one but 

yourself makes you think about anything. When

I was trying to do what

was right.”

Dean Smith

Reflection: I think what Dean Smith is trying to 

say is that legacy wasn't a isuue infact he ignored, 

not trying to leave one behing him when his time 

comes. He was trying to set a example for all his 

palyers to follow, one that they would hopefully 

follow for the rest of their lives. That was his goal 

all along, not showing off, not to feel better than 

others. Just to choose the right and nothing more,

others, though choosing the right might help them 

now.
