Student Success Statement

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If you lie then you are taking the wrong path. If you always tell the truth then the success you are looking for will soon come because of your good deeds. Never tell a lie not even when trying to not hurt someone feelings because when the truth comes out it will hurt them more to know you lied.

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

 When you double-check your calculation for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail, That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to tend consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall education attainment.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

-Peter F. Drucker

You should always do things that are right first because those are the things that people judge for. If you do it just because it is acceptable it doesn’t mean it right. So always do things because they are right not because they are acceptable.

 

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own courses through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

“The man who has no imagination has no wings”

-Muhammad Ali

If you don’t have creativity you will never get to the point where you think of a big goal you can try to accomplish. No wings mean you aren’t able to fly up and reach your goal at the top.

Speaking Skills

2 to 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.
