STUDENT SUCESS STATEMENT

''Goodness is the only investment that never fails.'' - Henry David Thoreau This statement is true. You can never go wrong by doing something right. By helping someone you encourage hope. For example, there is no harm in lending a hand every now and then. You cannot go wrong by being selfless. It is better than anything to think of others before you think of yourself. Always help out anyone whenever you can. You may inspire a chain of acts of kindness. By investing good in humanity, you gain the whole world. Goodness will never do you wrong.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

''ENTHUSIASM MAKES THE DIFFERENCE'' - by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale Enthusiasm does make a difference. If you feel motivated for anything, then your action will not be a bore. If you hold a positive outlook, then anything will have a positive reaction. If you go into school feeling down and prepared to do nothing, then you will amount to nothing at the end of the day. Having a good mindset can take you a long way. I agree with the quote even if I myself am not very enthusiastic at times. Not only will you achieve your goals with enthusiasm, but you will attract others in a social aspect. People prefer someone energetic than to someone who is always blue. There really is a big difference between the negative and the positive. Be happy and the results will show. Put effort into every action you take. Try to limit the negativity in your life. Be enthusiastic by looking at the positive side. Think of the endless possibilities. Leave doubt behind. Keep moving foward

It was my first game ever and I enjoyed it very much. It was a cherish able night to remember with my dad. Once again the following days had nothing abnormal.. I spent my days at home watching movies, reading and finishing books, and playing with my little sister. Although we wouldn't go out, I still had a good week with my mother an
