Student Success Statement

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: What Ralph is trying to say is that your past and your future is nothing compared to your present. Who you are now is what counts. Not what you did in the past or what you will do in the future but what you do now is what matters.

“Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force.”

Elaine Maxwell

 

Reflection: What Ms. Maxwell is trying to say is that whether she is a good person or not it only reflects on her and no one else. She is who she wants to be. Only Elaine can choose what she wants to be either good or bad. For example, when you do something and try to bale it on someone else, you are the one who got caught no one else did so you’re the force. Try to do good so people know you are a good person.

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

Howard Cosell

Reflection: What Mr. Howard Cosell is saying is that when you do right people don’t always think its “cool.” But when you do something that everyone else is doing, “oh you’re cool” or “He’s popular.” Everyone follows the “popular” crowd. When someone for example smokes weed or dresses nice, another person or other people try to imitate them. Also when for example when a little kid is small and he hears people cuss. They start saying them because they think it is right or they do it because they think oh well everyone else does it. That’s why don’t try to be cool by doing bad things. If you want to be “cool” or “popular” just be yourself.
