Student Success Statement

“So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in-group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

-      Sean Covey

This statement means that most often people do many things just to be popular. Some people enjoy getting attention from people so they stop being themselves and become someone they are not. They try to do many things that are wrong; they might not know is wrong because all they can think of is becoming famous/popular. For example, people begin to do drugs and getting into gangs.

Student Success Statement

“What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”

-      Howard Cosell

This statement is saying that not everything you do that is right is popular. People might know about it but it’s not as popular that everyone knows. For example, graduating from high school is doing the right thing and your family is going to be very proud of that. You will be popular among them but not the rest of the people that are out there. Usually what’s popular is the wrong choices people make. For example, a guy that shot many innocent people at a theater became very popular and it wasn’t for someone to be proud of.
