“There is not giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.” –Anon

Reflection:

Our life is a journey and we each have a goal to accomplish. Many don’t understand that to reach a goal it takes more than just one step; it requires more than you can imagine. The reason why it takes so many small steps is because every step is preparing us for our goal. Each step might seem harder as we go but in reality one step makes us stronger to overcome the next one. All we need to do is to persist even in the toughest situations in our lives, which will try to stop us or block our way of reaching the goal. We need strength, courage, a vision, determination, and a positive attitude to know that a journey starts with one step. On your journey just remember to say “I will persist until I succeed”. Don’t give up on your journey no matter how impossible seems. Choose the right.

Student Success Statement

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” –Charles Ketterer

Reflection:

The best way for anyone to predict their future is to start brainstorming and letting out your ideas of what you would like to do in the future. You only know what you would like to do, who you’d like to be in, and why you want to do certain things in the future. So don’t just sit there and feel like if the future is going to create itself you must take action and decide what you want to do with your life. The future begins with your actions and ends with no determination. The hardest part is starting but you’ll find strength on the way and you will achieve till the end.

“Vision without action is a daydream.

Action without vision is a nightmare.”

                           –Japanese Proverb

Reflection:

When you list your dreams you must add determination and action to achieve them because what’s the whole point of writing them down if you’re not willing to pursue them. If you vision yourself to be someone in this world you aren't magically gong turn famous or whatever you want to be we need to get up and take action. Take advantage of your free time and take action to pursue your dreams when you have the chance because what if too much time passes and it’s too late already and your life will become a nightmare because you didn't take action to your visions. For example the +100 goals that I wrote can be everything I dream to be but what’s the whole point to writing them down and waiting for them to come true. Life isn't a fairy tale where your dreams will suddenly come true. Dreams come true with hard work, determination, perseverance, strength and action.

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”-Michael Phelps

Reflection:

The more dreams you have, the further you will go in achieving them. There’s no limit to how many dreams you can have. Have as many dreams as you can but focus on not just having them but on achieving them. Achieve to succeed. Choose the right.

Reflection:We all have dreams when we are children but only those who pursue there dream will achieve it. We all dream to become someone in life but sometimes those dreams are broken by situations in life. We should never give up on our dreams because there the ones that will takes us far in our life. We should become what we dream because even if it seems foolish to others, it means a lot to that individual.
