Student Success Statement

“Everyone is their architect of their own learning.”

-Claudius

Reflection

We make decisions that shape our lives. It may become challenging to make some decisions for life. Most of us want the best for ourse4lves but don't always make the right choices. One makes decisions and those decisions determine the outlook of our lives. When one receives bad grades, it is not because someone else wanted to give that person that bad grade but it was himself who decided upon that. He may have made bad decisions such as choosing not to study, which lead to the bad outcome. We choose what way our life goes, and we cannot put the blame on anyone else. That is the reason why it is very important to make wise decisions, because it may have a greater impact than imagined.

Student Success Statement

“Education is a marathon – not a sprint”

-Anon

Reflection

I truly believe this is a great quote and I strongly agree with it. In a marathon one has to keep a fast but steady pace. If you try to sprint in a marathon, you won’t get so far. It is very similar to education. One cannot get an education with only one day of studying all day. It takes years and you learn a bit at a time.

Student Success Statement

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

-Rosa Parks

Reflection

I believe that this statement is very true. One should not be afraid of what their dong or of any of the consequences as long as they are doing what is right. When someone choses the wrong there are bad consequences and you have to worry about many things such as getting caught. You are also left with guilt and that is what we should fear. An example of doing what is right and when we should fear of what we do would be someone seeing a person steal. If he decides to contact the police to stop the person then he should fear of anything because he is doing what is right. He should not fear on what other people say because his action , stopping the robber, is the correct thing to do.

Student Success Statement

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the (3) magic keys to living your life with integrity.”

-W. Clement Stone

Reflection

There are three simple steps that need to be taken to live with integrity. Just because they are simple does not mean that they are easy. One has to have the courage to say no. when someone tries to influence you into doing bad, you have to be courageous and deny the offer. It takes nerve to say no, but if you put your mind to it, it is possible. One also has to be brave enough to face the truth. This means that you have to be realistic about any circumstances. When you face a situation you have to accept the truth, because from there you can decide on doing what is right. The last thing that is required to live life with integrity is choosing the right. ALWAYS choose the right and make the right decisions. With these three keys one can live with complete honesty and honor.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, street you own course of follow others.
