Student Success Statement

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty).It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

          I agree very much with this quote. Poverty is a choice because you decide your future. If you stay in poverty your whole life that’s because of the decisions you made. If you make your way out its because you made the wise choice to.

Student Success Statement

“Enthusiasm makes the difference.”

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

I can relate to this quote because there are classes I enjoy going to and some that I dread going to. This is because some teachers are enthusiastic when it comes to teaching us so it makes me want to do well in their class. 

Student Success Statement

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right.”

This quote is an example of how doing the right thing always pays off. I say this because he did everything right and this caused him to leave a legacy and get lots of love and respect.

Student Success Statement

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”

-Mario Cuomo

When you have that gut feeling telling you not to do something you should listen to it, most of the time it’s correct. If it’s wrong at the moment it’s still going to be wrong after.

I would not like to be an electrocardiograph technician. This job doesn’t interest me. Nothing in the medical field interests me. 

Winter Break

During the first week of winter break of winter break I slept a lot and went to the gym. The second week I had basketball practice. The third week I had the winter basketball ball tournament. On Monday we won because the team didn’t show up. On Tuesday we lost horribly against Wilson. Wednesday we didn’t have a game but the next day on Thursday we won our game against Bravo and I made a beautiful shot. I was happy to make my team and coach proud. Friday our game was cancelled. The last two days of vacation I just went back to school shopping and mentally tried to prepare myself to come back to school.

What this quote is saying to me is that a good character based on intelligence is the goal when educating.
