Student Success Statement - 4/18/2018

"Its a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time" - Pam Knox

I agree with this quote, it is really important to always do what is right. When doing the right thing, it doesnt necessarily mean to do a glorious and award winning thing. Doing the right thing is all about being conscious of your actions and doing the right thing without expecting anything in return. For example, the video of the softball players. They did not expect anything in return, they did not expect to win the game, they did not expect any prize for their actiosn. They helped out a person because it was the right hting. They did not have to, they could have left her there at first base and just waited for her to either be replaced or to slowly and painfully get to home plate for the full homerun. Instead of leaving her there, they did what was right. They helped her, they helped a person they had been playing against and could've ruined their chances of winning. They did not let their wanting to win get in the way of being a good person. They carried the girl to home plate so she could get her first and last home run of her career, which was ended due to that injury.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement "Enthusiasm makes the difference." - Dr. Norman Vincent Peale I agree and partially disagree with this. I agree because it is true. Being enthusiastic makes a big difference in the way you see things. Being enthusiastic makes you excited for things and that can help your mental health cope and become happier. I partially disagree though, because sometimes people can not be enthusiastic because they may be depressed or have another mental illness that makes them not feel enthusiastic. I feel like being enthusiastic makes me feel good. This year, i decided to become more enthusiastic. Ever since then i have looked at the positive things in life. I have been doing this for several months now and i feel happy and i think that has really improved my grades. I enjoy coming to school because i am very enthusiastic about it and want to succeed.
