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.

Student Success Statement

"We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do" - Richard L. Evans  I agree with this quote for several reasons. This quote is important to remember when we have a task that we want to succeed at. One reason why i agree with this quote is because succeeding is a big part of life, we need to succeed to make sure we make our mark on the world. In order to succeed you have to do what the quote says. In order to succeed you have to follow through with whatever task you're trying to accomplish which is what the quote says. Bad habits are also sometimes really easy to pick up and that is what the quote talks about also. You need to be courageous and stop doing those bad habits because once you realize they are getting in the way of your success and in general well being, both mentally and physically. I have began doing this and i have seen a bigdifference.
