Student Success Statement: Charles Ketterer

                   Student Success Statement
            “The best way to predict your future is to create it”
                                                                  Charles Ketterer

Reflection: Our goals, our dreams, our choices are what come for us later in life. My dream is to go to USC and to become a writer. For now im just bettering myself in my writing but that is my dream. We start creating our future the moment we say what we want to do. Eventually you’ll work hard on it and it will become your future. Most people predict their weddings when they are so young and when they grow up they are married. They created their future. If you say you’re going to do something you do it. We create what we want in life. We cannot create our future on our own because well we did not create the things that happen to us in the future, at least not all. God has already created our future. We have to learn to declare stuff to our lives. We can declare good things because once you declare something you already have it. Our words have authority. The reason it is best to predict our future by creating it is because we do not just want to predict what’s going to happen and instead something totally different happens we want to create what’s going to happen as we grow up and as we live. Predictions are just what we think, but creating is something that will last forever.

The School Wide Assembly

The School Wide Assembly
I think that the assembly that happened this morning was
great because they were teaching us in a fun way how to
be respectful to our teachers, how to be organized, and
how to keep our school clean. I saw how much the
teachers really care and how much spirit and care they
have for us and the school. After watching the assembly I
think something I would do to more fully live the school
rules and regulations is to show more respect. I show
respect now but I would like to show more of it. If I see
someone picking up their papers from the floor I will help
them as well. It’s all about treating people the way you
would want someone to treat you. I will also pick up trash
whenever I see some. A dirty school is in no way okay.
This is a brand new school and I’m a brand new student
here. Just started high school this year, but that doesn’t
mean I wouldn’t want my school to be dirty. I have
another 3 or 4 more years here and I would like to go to a
clean school. Lastly I will be more organized. I am aware
that sometimes I get lazy and don’t organize but If I really
want to have good grades and do good in school it’s
going to be something I have to get used to doing. The
school assembly was a great teaching and a fun teaching
about how we are supposed to be throughout our high
school year. Some may have 1 others may have 4.
Doesn’t matter. We are greatness waiting to happen.
That’s our school motto and I truly believe it. The school
assembly was amazing and I’m glad they did it, not only
because it got me out of doing P.E, but because at least
now I know how to live through out the years I’m in high
school and I know how much my teachers and my
principal care about me. We are a very lucky school.

Student Success Statement: Pablo Picasso


                                         

                Student Success Statement
        “Action is the foundational key to all success”
                                    Pablo Picasso
Reflection: Action is honestly the only way we can succeed the things we want to do in life. If we take action to reach for what we want to do then it will come true. Success does not just come to us like our friends do everyday. We have to work hard for what we want to do. We have to work hard to make our dreams come true. We can’t just la around hoping. Hope is a good thing but it also takes faith, and faith is also an action. How do we expect to get better at things. Yea I know some people are born with natural talents but they have to keep working to keep that talent. Honestly if we do not take action we will not get anywhere in life. For example let’s say you are in the middle of a street and there was a car coming your way, what are you going to do? Stand there and let the car run you over or are you going to take action and move away? Action is what makes us successful. Not being lazy. Choose the right way in life and don’t except always do. Action is the key.

Student Success Statement: Japanese Proverd

                        Student Success Statement
“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
                                           Japanese Proverb

Reflection: We don’t really expect our dreams to come true just naturally, we have to put action. For example you can be dreaming about being in a soccer team and making a goal but if you just sit there at home not practicing and not trying it’s just a daydream. Daydreams are dreams you have that don’t really come true unless you make them. But then there is action without vision. If we don’t even dream about becoming the person we are then it is a nightmare. Let’s say for some reason you became a lawyer but back then your vision was to become a doctor. It’s a nightmare for you because the one thing you will most likely say is “I wish.” Us as people need to put our actions and dreams together. We can’t sit around and except things to come to us because then there would be no meaning in life. We have to work and that’s just the way life is. We also have to make our dream come true and become what we want. You also can’t just take action and let it become a mess. Our actions and our visions matter. They are both something that really help us in life. Don’t just sit around dreaming of becoming something. Make it happen. Don’t make action until you are doing what your vision wants.

Glenn Cunningham

                   Glenn Cunningham  

Reflection: The story of Glenn Cunningham is very inspirational. It tells of how he went from having damaged legs and getting told by the doctors that he might not be able to walk right ever again, and also the death of his bother. Him and his family were at the worst point In their lives. Probably rock bottom to them. What’s amazing is that even though Glenn was going through the worst at that moment in his life he still got up and moved on. He became a very popular athlete, was able to walk again. All because of his faith. His favorite verse was Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weart, they shall walk and not faint.” It was this mans faith in God that got him out of it. I was once at my lowest point in life as well, and because of my faith I’m still alive and breathing, I don’t have a perfect life but I have a strong faith that has made me see life a different way. So many amazing things have happened. Faith is the thing that brings us back to life. God made a miracle by fixing his legs. No matter what the doctors say those doctors have nothing compared to what God can do. Honestly this man’s story, makes me want to have just as much faith. Anything is possible if you just believe.

Student Success Statement: William A. Ward

              Student Success Statement
Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records”
                                    William A. Ward

Reflection: Sometimes there storms occur in our lives, but we have to choose how it will effect us. My grandmother passed away on October 10. Me and my family were devesated, my mother way, my aunts and uncles were, everyone was depressed. I was sad for a really long time. But I didn’t let that storm take me down. My parents didnt let that storm take me down. Just me and my two parents and my sister. It hurt us to know that my grandmother was gone but I learned two three things after she died. First thing I learned was to take advantage of my life now, to love and forgive people. Also to love and cherish my mother as long as she lives. Lastly I learned that my grandmother was in a better place and I shouldn’t worry. I grew stronger since then. No life is perfect, we were not created to have a perfect life because if that’s what we were born for life would be boring. These storms don’t last forever. We need to learn to dance in the rain and stop focusing on the negative parts of the storm. If you just go in that little area of sunshine it will all go away. We choose how we react after it. We get stronger or worse. I broke my own record. I became the young girl my grandmother said I was going to become but never thought I was. Don’t drown in the rain. Adversity wasn’t meant to last a lifetime.

Students Success Statement: Anonymous Author

              Student Success Statement
“The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves.”
                       Anonymous Author

Reflection: Its best to not focus on how other people are doing and much more how we are. If someone is doing something awesome and big don’t try to do better because you end of finding that you don’t want to do that at all at the end you just want to be better. We have to outdo ourselves because we should do things we thought we couldn’t do. Perhaps you think you can’t loose weight, try to outdo yourself and do much more than you thought you can. You probably already figure “well you know I can’t work out much.” Well forget that try your best to do something amazing and outdo yourself not others. Other people are not going to have your success everyone has their own and its amazing in their eyes. Everyone is different. There is no use in trying to be better than someone else if we were created to be just ourselves. Outdo yourself. Suppose you’re addicted to the internet and you want to stop you say ill go 3 hours without touching it, outdo what you thought and go 6 hours. I think its best if we try and reach our goals by pushing ourselves and making ourselves get to it. Why would we try to outdo others? What do you gain? Yea you might end up being successful and doing it “better” than them but is that really what you were made for? We were made to do our own thing. Outdo yourself and do what you think you couldn’t do.
