CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement "Set your goals high, 

and don't stop till you get there."

Bo Jackson

This means to not stop untill you achieve your goals. You have to keep going until you get to your goals. You have to do everything in your power to reach them and once you reach them, you have to try to go farther. You have to set your goals high and real. Don't remain happy with the minimum when you can do more. For example if you are interested in the medical career don't just stop at a nurse achieve to be a doctor. You should not give up on your goals even if it is one of the hardest thing you will ever do. If it isn't hard it will not be worth it.

“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it- as long as you really believe 100 percent.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger

This means that if you think big you will achieve big things. Your mind is the one that can help you achieve your goals and help you accomplish them. If you are sure of what you would like to be and start taking steps toward it, you will achieve it. You have to think about it constantly, it must always be on your mind. If it is always on you, you will make it happen.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

Michael Phelps 

22 Olympic Medals (18 Gold)

This quote means you can acomplish anything you are to dream of. How far you get is determined by how much you dream. There is nothing to tell you that you can't get farther than what you would like to get. If you have bigger dreams and chase after them you will acomplish them. You can't put a limit on your dreams because they determine your future.

"Try a little harder to be a little better"

Gordon B. Hinckley 

I think this means that if you work just the least bit harder, then you can be a little better at what you are doing. If you want to lift weights, try a little heavier each time and soon you will br able to lift whatever you want. Each time you try harder you will get better at whatever you arre doing.

Student Success Statement 

"If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less- than- excellent work."

Thomas J Watson

If you want to be excellent, everything you have to do has to be excellent. It means stop being lazy and put effort into everything you do because it will be worth it. All your work has to be done with effort and has to be at your all. All you have to do is do everything your supposed to do correctly. For example, if you want good grades and good notes, you have to do your work with excellence so that you can get a good mark on it.  You also have to act correctly and treat your teachers with respect. This also means you must stop being lazy. You have to turn in your work in time and it has to be good quality.

For example, you have to  be willing to give up video games, or going out, or any stuff like that to dedicate yourself a hundred percent to what you are doing. If you aren't committed then you won't be good at what you do.

"Righteous community 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

This means that it takes one person to make a difference and one person to lead others to do the right thing. In other words, one person has the capability to make an impact on a large amount of people. What this is trying to say is that it is easier to things together than alone. That one person can influence others to do the right thing. Unity cause an even bigger impact. For example, in the video that was shown, it took one man to start a trend. One person to begin doing the right thing. When you see one person doing the right thing you think about it and if it is okay for them to do it, it is okay for you to do it too.
