Student Success Statement
"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent."
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I think this quote means that you can do whatever you want to do but the price of it is your mind. The mind is the strongest one to do that job. You would be surprised of knowing all the things your mind can do. Dream of it and it is going to became reality. Try and never give up following your dreams. Use your mind to accomplish them.

"You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."

Michael Phelps

I think this quote means that with effort you can get whatever you want. Dreams are your future reality if you try to make it happen. For example Michael Phelps own 22 olympic medals because he dreamt on it when he was younger. You can accomplish all your dreams but you need dedication. Dreamming is free, start dreamming to be big.

"Try a little harder to be a little better"
Gordon B. Hincley 


 I think this quote means that if you try your best while doing whatever you want you will succeed.
If you want to be better you have to do something about it because complaining is not going to take you anywhere. When you have a homework and it is difficult to you, you have to pay more attention during class to understand better your assingment. If paying attention during class does not help, then you have to do your own research about that topic. Start helping yourself because that is the first step to be successful.

I dont't want to be a medical illustrator because i am not creative and that's not what i have in my mind for my future. I think it is a good career for people that have that creativity that makes them unique.

"If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work."
Thomas J Watson



I think this quote means that is never late to do what is right and get in the high way. I like this quote because some people say that they can't be good anymore because it's too late but this quote proves that is never too late to start. For example: When you are in your computer's class and the techer says -"time out from your typing", you better stop typing because that's going to get you in the low way. However, if he says -"time back in", you have to start typing again. Start getting into the right path to success.

Student success statement
"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference."


Paul Bear Bryant

I think that this quote means that doesn't means anything to say that you want to win if you don't prepare yourself. You have to study hard to pass your exam. You have to train hard to win your competition. If you don't prepare yourself how are you going to succed? You have to be prepared for anything you do in your life even if you think is the easiest thing
Research

Paul was born in south central Arkansas on September 11, 1913. He was part of a big family of 12 children but three of them died. His father was a fermer and his mother cared for all of her children. When he was bigger his family decided to move to south of Fordyce, which is also part of Arkansas.  Bryan used to play football at the University of Alabama. When he grew up he became a coach at the University of Maryland and Texas. During the time he coached the team at the University of Alabama they had a record of 323 wins. He was also the first coach who recruited a black player. He died in January 26, 1983 after suffering a masive heart attack.


I think he was a great man and a role model for everyone. He always chose the right and that's why he succed.

To become a industrial hygienist you should take the most difficult classes while you're on high school.

Student Success Statement

"Righteous community unity starts with ONE upright soul, whether it is a community of a family  members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy persuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone."
Mr. Haymore


I think this quote means that people just need a little push from a good person to convert themselves into good people. For example, when there is a natural disaster in some place, one person informs to the rest of the people and little by little everyone help with food, clothes, or some other need. Our society needs someone to start the right path so everyone would follow. You don't need to force someone to do it because every person would make right decisions for themselves.

Education: 
Most employers prefer that nursing assistants and aides have a high school diploma or GED certificate. Some vocational schools and community colleges offer training programs.
