Student Success Statement

"When an Archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself."
-Gilbert Arland
What a magnificently stated and very true statement. If you receive an "F" on your report card, it is not the classroom's fault, nor the teacher's, nor the report card's, but your own. You chose the wrong, you showed up late, you didn't complete your assignments, so on and so forth. If you want to improve your grade, improve yourself. Ask the teacher if any extra credit assignments are available. Ask if you could do make up work. Stay after school for tutoring if needed. Don't blame the teacher for your bad grade, blame you poor habits.

"It's not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts; it's not where you play but HOW you play that counts.'
-Mr. Haymore
This is a true statement. location does not matter nearly as much as quality. One example is people who live in poverty: You could be the poorest person living in the worst neighborhood, but if you strive for success, you will be an outstanding person. Abraham Lincoln was one such individual. He had practically no money growing up, but look at him now: he is immortal.
