Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. you have to apply yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and  knowing you can never up for a lost day.”

John Wooden

I think this quote means that the more you practice the better you will be. For example if you have trouble memorizing something the only way you will be good at it is if you practice and practice until you have mastered it. I think it’s important for you to try your best in everything in your everyday life, because if you don’t try your best you will not go very far in life. Also the key to success is to have self--determination and belief that you can do what you set your mind to and that you will not stop until you reach it. And don't stop there once you achieved a goal you set another and keep going on trying to have a successful life.
