Student Success Statement 
"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. honesty pays dividends     both in dollars and in peace of mind."

B.C. Forbes
Reflection: I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be really careful with what they do and say. Sometimes people think that is they are dishonest it won’t really do any damage on anybody because when someone is dishonest it is just not being truthful. Sometimes if people are dishonest, they are always telling little white lies. If you keep on saying little white lies, they will become much more than that. Do the right thing and don’t be dishonest.

Student Success Statement 
"Stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus your full attention on whats happening right this moment"

Phil Jackson
11 World Championships 
Reflection: If you worry about win and losing you are going to stop worrying about what is actually going on in the game and you are going to mess up without a doubt. If you pay full attention to what is going on right now you will gain an edge in the game and will mprove your chances of winning.
Time Management
8 of 10
Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time—classes, homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones respond emails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrows produce while planning next week’s menu.
Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment, so make the most of it while it is NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Student Success Statement 
“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”
-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:I think that this statement is trying to say that people should always say the truth because if they don’t, then they will probably fall. Sometimes people feel that they have to lie to protect someone else, but they actually don’t because if they tell them the truth then they will avoid making the other person mad because they lied to them. At the end, the best thing to do is to tell the truth.

Attention to Detail
7 of 10
When you double-check your calculation for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper you're paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails. John Wooden UCLA's former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. if they didn't tie them correctly he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small things come great thing; therefore pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Student Success Statement 
"Everyone is the architect of their own learning."
Claudius

Reflection:I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to decide what their learning will be like and not let others decide for them. If people let others decide what their learning will be like, then they will not learn the way they want to, therefore, they will not learn much. Sometimes all it takes is to decide for yourself how you want to learn.

Cool Under Pressure
6-10
Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world‘s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.
The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time every time. Prepare for test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your time to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.
