Student Success Statement

''If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them in the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to suceed.'' - Dan Dierdorf I agree with this quote. If you choose to do something right and put your effort into it, them you are bound to suceed. Putting in maximum effort into something can impact ones chances in suceeding. Everything does actually come together. When effort and a proper choice go hand in hand, there is no other way. Certified success can only come from a good choice. If the opposite were to be said, results would not be as promising. When your heart is in the right place and your choices reflect on it, then the option was a clear one made. If you choose right, you gain right. Pursue greatness by being great and truth will go your way.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

'' Only those who live who do good.'' - Count Leo Tolstoy This quote is agreeable. If you live your life off of bad acts, then you have not lived. A life well spent is a life full of good. Without any good in ones life, they would be miserable. You must realize the importance of making the right choices in your life. Every time you choose wrong, your life looses its meaning and purpose. Do not let your life waste away. For example, if someone has been a bad person and done terrible things all their life, then they really did not live. Living is about what you make out of it when good is involved. If someone has chosen the right path and has made the right decisions, then they lived a life of prosperity and welcoming. Live a life of good. A life without good is a life well wasted. Always do good at every chance you get. Train yourself to be better.
