Student Success Statement

"No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her, it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction."           

                                                  

                                            - Charles Kendall Adams, American Historian

 What I think this quote means is if you actually want to be successful in life you have to do more than what is expected of you. If you just do what is expected of you, you will be average you will be doing the same thing that the rest are doing. You must go beyond what is expected of you to actually be able to stand out. For example if your teacher tell you to only finish half of the work and you go ahead and the all of it for extra work and you challenge yourself to do better you will be better because you push yourself to do good.
