Student Success Statement



“ When I was teaching basketball, I urged my 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 & 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. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."
~ John Wooden

Student Success Statement

" Goodness is the only investment that never fails,"
     ~ Henry David Thoreau
When many people invest they do it for a good outcome. But some people do it for the goodness of it. Those people are very generous to do something without expecting anything better in return. They just want to choose the right and do whats right. And even thought you dont get anything in return you know that you did good and you will feel good about yourself.

Successful Students part 9



9 . . . Don’t care for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more often effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.
If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch effort known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night session on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more affected and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fall to learn this session and end up repeating it all over again until it becomes a wasteful habit.  Not too clever, huh?
                When you cram, taking a short cut, and short cuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you fell rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn't Shortcut cut you short. You can’t plant watermelons seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting them to harvest the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

Student Success Statement


“You will never regret what is right .”

This quote means that when you do something right you will never regret it. You know you did something good so why would you take it back. Doing what is right will make you a better person and a successful person as well.
