Student Success Statement

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people should always say the truth because if they don’t, then they will probably fall. Sometimes people feel that they have to lie to protect someone else, but they actually don’t because if they tell them the truth then they will avoid making the other person mad because they lied to them. At the end, the best thing to do is to tell the truth.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Student Success Statement

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning."

-Claudius

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to decide what their learning will be like and not let others decide for them. If people let others decide what their learning will be like, then they will not learn the way they want to, therefore, they will not learn much. Sometimes all it takes is to decide for yourself how you want to learn.

Cool Under Pressure 6 of 10

Cool Under Pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situation. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to crucial pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time every time. Prepare for test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your time to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Student Success Statement

"Start with what is right rather that what is acceptable."

-Peter F. Drucker

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be very careful before they do something that they will regret. Sometimes people do things without think about it and they end up regretting it. Also, people do what other expect and sometimes it is the wrong thing to do. So, you should always try to do what is right than what is actually expected.

Initiative 5 of 10

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.
