Student Success Statement

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do"

Richard L. Evans

Reflection: What I think Richard is trying say is that we need to get the guts to do the right thing even though it might not be that simple. We cannot give up on our hopes and dreams. When something gets difficult you don’t just give up you keep trying and do your best. He is also saying that we need to stop doing the wrong things. For example if you cheat on test you need to stop copying and start studying. Doing the right will get you places and doing the wrong will get you nowhere.
