Student Success Statement

        ''I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it''. by Dr. Ben Carson

If your determined on changing something then you need to put all your effort and time into thinking of ways to change what you want, and this is what Dr. Ben Carson did. He hated poverty and was determined on changing it. It is not easy to change something but if you put all your effort into it and you have faith then you will be able to do whatever you put your mind into. For example, if you want to get an A on a test but you don't study or pay attention in class then how do you expect to pass your test?. In order to do that you will need to study hard for it and have a positive mind set that you WILL pass it.

1. Can people trust me to do what's right? 2. Am I committed to doing my very best? 3. Do I treat people they way I want to be treated? ''If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail'' by Lou Holtz If I always do what's right with out people telling me or reminding me then that makes me look mature and makes me gain peoples trust. If your trying to achieve something then why not try your best and put all your effort into what your doing.Treating people with kindness and friendliness makes you feel good because then everyone looks at you differently and with respect.They also start treating you like an adult because they've seen that you've matured. For example if your a rude kid and is always rebellious then people are going to ignore you and not get in your way so they wont have to deal with you. But if you are kind and respectful then people admire you because most teenagers are rude and try to be funny or ''cool

''I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls--walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground--there is a possibility that in some way or another I may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I'd die first! Karl G. Maeser This quote means that once somebody gives you their word then they should be loyal and always keep that promise no matter what the circumstances are. Karl G.  Maeser is saying that if he were to be stuck in jail he would try to escape. But if he gives you his word that he won't leave then he'll live by his word and stay in jail forever.
