                “Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records.”

                                                       William A. Ward

Reflection: This means that when you have a hard time it doesn’t mean to give up, it mean to keep trying until you break the record. Sometimes it can be hard and frustrating but you should never give up no matter what happens you should never stop trying and let something hold you down. Whatever holds you down you should make it improve you.

Students who would like to become a health sciences librarian should take the most challenging high school courses in information management, science, math, and English.  Many employers of library technicians give you on the job training however they do prefer if you complete a library technician program at a community college.  To become a librarian you should earn an undergraduate degree in one of the life sciences, and must earn a master’s degree in library science.

I wouldn’t like to become a library technician or librarian because it seems a little boring to me and it doesn’t interest me.

                         "Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there."

                                                                       -Bo Jackson

What I think this quote means is that you always got to keep trying no matter what, don't ever give up regardless of how difficult it may be to reach your goal. The journey may be difficult but the results you get from putting in all that work will be worth it. Always set your goals high so you can accomplish high things in your life. For example if you set your goal to be a doctor and you try really hard and you are really motivated to become a doctor you will become a doctor. Always believe that you can accomplish your goals.

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

                                                              Michael Phelps

    What I think this quote means is that there is no limit to what you can do in live. There are always dreams that you can do and get far in life. Never set limits, because you can always do better than the last. Michael Phelps always reached for the best and would push himself to the limits. He always believed in himself and that’s what got him to accomplish his dreams in life, like wining 22 Olympic medals, and 18 of them been gold. Everyone should try to be like Michael Phelps and never set limits to anything.

                                                      Student Success Statement                                               "Try a little harder to be a little better."                                                           -Gordon B. Hinckley

What I think that this quote means is that you must try harder to be a little better in life all the time. To always push yourself to the limits. Always trying harder helps you become better and better all the time. If you don’t try hard in life you’ll never get better at anything. For example in school, you must try hard to become better in school to always try to get a good grade. Another example is in a sport when you want to be the best in the team you should practice extra time to be a little better. Always go all out and give it your all you will be better than tomorrow
