Student success statement

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

-Henry Ward Beecher

Reflection: What this quote is trying to say is that you should never try to be like the others. Everyone has their own personality and we should always try to be better. When we are better we create a better name for ourselves and we will be seen as a great example. I mean who wouldn’t  like or want to be recognized by others. You should always be honest because honesty is very important if you want to be taken seriously. Don’t just ever try to satisfy people with what they expect from you. Some people judge others by the way they look and you should always try to do better and to show them also that you should never judge anyone or expect less from them. You should never excuse yourself from not accomplishing something. For example i play soccer and let’s say i miss weeks of practice and then i come back but i can’t catch up to my team mates due to them improving and running faster while i was gone. When my coach asks what happened to me and why i’m not doing so i will i use excuses to make myself look good. That shouldn’t be done. That’s choosing the wrong because if i have to work harder, no excuses because being in the team is a priority. Always be responsible and try your hardest.
