Student Success Statement

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

-     Claudius  

I strongly agree with this statement because everyone is responsible for their own actions. Nobody is making the choices for you; it’s yourself so therefore you’re the only one responsible for the consequences made. People might give you advice but that doesn’t mean you should actually do that because at the end you will be the responsible one for your actions.

Student Success Statement

“Always do right.”

-         Mark Twain

I agree with this statement because you should always do what is right and make the right choices. You always do the right things then your life would be easier. You won’t have to worry about consequences because you didn’t do anything that was wrong.

Student Success Statement

NEVER

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

-     Ayn Rand

(novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

This statement is saying that there is no reason for someone to choose the wrong. When you choose the wrong there will be consequences due to the actions you made. You should already know what is right to do and what’s not right. For example, if you go out with your friends and they begin to drink. You might be tempted to drink too or for peer pressure but the best thing to do is to say no.

 

Student Success Statement

The Three Don’ts

Don’t whine

Don’t complain

Don’t make excuses

-      John Wooden

I strongly agree with this statement because people need to take responsibility for their actions. If you did something wrong you need to deal with the consequences that came with the bad choices you made. You shouldn’t make any excuses, complains, or whine about the consequences. You wouldn’t have to deal with any of this, if you had chosen the right from the beginning.

Student Success Statement

“The Three Nevers”

Never lie

Never cheat

Never steal

-      John Wooden

I strongly agree with this statement because it’s not the right thing to do. It shows that you can’t count on a person that has done any or all of the things above. People need to choose the right and not fall into bad habits because then they won’t be successful in life. For example, it’s wrong to cheat on a test because then you will never learn anything. You will deal with consequences for choosing the wrong.
