Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I argued players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-     John Wooden

I strongly agree with this statement because in order for someone to get better at something they have to practice each and every day. They also have to put a lot of effort if they want to become the best. They have to put in a lot of work and dedicate time as well.

Student Success Statement

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

This statement is saying that if you’re going to be around with people that are always choosing the wrong then it’s better to be alone. When you’re by yourself you make good decision. You don’t have people that pressure you to do something you don’t want to. You should always be around people that choose the right and that have a positive attitude. For example, if you hang out with people that do drugs then you need to get away from them. You would find other people that choose the right or it doesn’t matter if you’re alone because you’re not doing anything wrong.

There are many goals that an individual put themselves too. If you put effort then little by little you, will get better at what you want to accomplish.
