Student Success Statement

 "Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

                                                                                           -Henry Ward Beecher

Reflection: I feel that holding yourself to a high standard is very important to have a successful life because in the end, all you really have is yourself and your life. People leave, people die, people change their minds, people are so very fickle. But you need to be the foundation of your own life, so that you can always survive and thrive. So have high expectations for yourself, not matter what, because you expect yourself to succeed, you will manifest it in all areas in your life, no matter what others think or say.

Progress Report

In order to make my goals more realistic I read them once every morning. I also like how Mr. Haymore gives us time during class to read our goals because he encourages us to visualize ourself making our goals happen. Everyday i manage to progress my 100 goals. I have started working out ever weekend and I have changed my intake of food to fit a more healthier lifestyle. So far I believe that I am making pretty good progress towards my goals and in order to make them all happen I will continue to read them every day.

                                                 "Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."

                                                                                -Mark Victor Hansen

Reflection: By setting your goals, you'll actually commit to them and achieve them. Mark's "set and get" method can actually work. If you never set goals for yourself than you will never have a plan and you will be lost. For example if you don’t have your life planned out than you won’t know what you want to do for the rest of your life.
