“There is no giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.”

                                              ANON

Reflection:

          What this quote means is that when you want to reach a big goal don’t take big steps take little steps. Also if you have really good goals and you feel like you cannot accomplish them you can accomplish them if you take little steps. Don’t take big steps first because then you are going to give up and you are not going to want to accomplish your goal. So take little by little steps and you will accomplish your goal. So don’t take giant steps take little steps.

“Right is Right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even I everyone is for it.”

                                       William Penn

Reflection:

          What this quote means is that you are right even if other people don’t think that you are wrong. If people are telling you, that you are wrong when you are right is because they want to see you fail and not be successful. Don’t listen to people that tell you that you are wrong to follow your dreams. if you think that your dreams are right then go ahead follow them and don’t let anyone tell you that you are wrong for following your dreams. If people tell you that it’s wrong they just don’t want to see be successful. If you think it’s right they you go with it and feel good about yourself and not feel bad that others are telling you that is wrong.

Student Success Statement

Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’

But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

                     Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reflection: 

       What this quote means is that you have to do things right or else you’re going to question yourself if you did it right. You are always going to think that you did something wrong because you keep thinking and thinking about it. What I thin Martin Luther king Is trying to say is that to not care what other people think and just go what you feel is right. So always choose the right.
