Alan Stein

Student Success Statement: Alan Stein

"Success is not an accident. Success is actually a
choice. Are the habits you have today on par
with the dreams you have of tomorrow."

                                   Alan Stein


Reflection: I agree with this quote because if someone really wants to be successful they will do almost everything in their power to make that happen. Somebody can't just sit their and say I want to do such and such and be successful with it but yet they are sitting doing nothing instead of striving to reach the level of greatness they want.In order to be successful you have to do things in order to reach that level or else you probably won't ever get their.

Thomas Carlyle

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

                                             Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: A person that has goals can see him or her in a good position where he or she is heading for life like a boat with the rudder it can steer to any direction the person has to go. Without your goals you’ll be lost and won’t know how to move from where you’re at.


Reflection: There are 3 people that have had achieved their goal by setting their minds to it since they were little. 1. A guy who can do tricks with fire and balance it very well. 2. A bean shooter he shoots rocks at things with a sling shot since he was 10 because they wouldn’t let him use a gun to hunt for their food. 3. There are girls who can walk on top of an airplane they had set that goal when they first saw it on TV back in England. By seeing yourself accomplish that goal in the future can inspire you to keep on trying.

Reflection: If your friends are doing something wrong and ask you to be involved don’t do it because you’re not going to risk yourself just be with them or fit in. If you choose the wrong with them they’ll be in trouble and you too since you had decided to join what they were doing. It’s better to be alone and choose the right other than be with a bad group and get in trouble for something not worth it.
