Student Success Statement

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-         Liane Cordes

This statement is saying that in order for you to achieve something is by putting a lot of effort and not giving up until it’s accomplished. It doesn’t matter how much strength or intelligence you have, the only thing that matters is the effort you put into your goal/dreams. For example, when you are in school you have to put a lot of effort into your classes. That effort will get you to good grades.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 6

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and rather you’ll go. Synergize doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergize. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.”  Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Student Success Statement

“My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure.”

-Alfred, Lord Tennyson

This quote means that an individual can have more strength than others because their actions have been good. They have made and chosen the right decisions. They have a clear conscience and no regrets. And they’re heart is pure because they know they have done well.
