Student Success Statement

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

“I hated poverty.

Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

 I believe what Carson says is true because if you were born poor or became poor you yourself can change that. It is a matter of how much you want it and how much you are willing to get out of poverty. No one can stop you from that you can work hard and try hard and you shall earn what you have been working for all this time.

Student Success Statement

“Never because

You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.”

Thomas S. Monson

What Monson is saying is that you cannot do something wrong and feel right or certain about it and you cannot be right and feeling wrong. An example could be that you donate money to a charity to help the little kids’ in need; you cannot feel wrong of doing that. Another example could be that if you steal something with walking pass by them; you cannot feel right about doing that.

Student Success Statement

“Enthusiasm makes the difference.”

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

I think what Dr. Peale means is that enthusiasm is what helps you choose what path to go. Enthusiasm means to be eager or intense to do something, to show interest or approval, meaning you choose from right to wrong with enthusiasm.

Student Success Statement

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do the right thing.”

Dean Smith

I think maybe what he means by this quote is that because he retired from coaching a team people assume that he was trying to leave a legacy but that is not true. He left because he felt it was the right thing to do for himself, family and his team because he needed time to retire; he needed to be with his family, and his team to try to win that legacy without him to see if they could do it.

Student Success Statement

“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.”

Student Success Statement

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right,”

That was my winter break it was pretty nice and relaxing.

Student Success Statement

“Intelligence plus character,

 that is the goal of true education”
