Student Success Statement
"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon,"
 Elizabeth Cady Stanton

  What this successful statement is teaching us is that truth is very important and it's safe ground to stand upon. This is very true because if your honest many great things will come to you and if you are not honest and lies then people wont trust you and it might affect your future life. Always be honest and choose whats right.


Attention to Detail
 7 of 10
 When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re playing close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.
 John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attribute his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that playing attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit, he even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
  Details may be small things, but from small things comes great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Student Success Statement
"Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable."
Peter F. Drucker

 This successful statement is teaching us is to start with the right foot instead of starting with the left foot. If you do something to be acceptable you might not be doing the right because you are not being honest with yourself. For example today is started my morning with the left foot because I'm  lefty, but i made choices to attend to school today and learn something rather than staying home and watching the walking death and playing video games. Its important to be yourself and start with what is right.


Initiative
5 Of 10
Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through project, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem-Solving Skills
   4 of 10
Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.
When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

"The man who has no imagination has no wings"
 Muhammad Ali

 What this successful statement is teaching us is that with out imagination you may not go far in life.

Speaking Skills
2 of 10
 When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to client or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques
http:/www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/ 
According to The Book of List, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd.  Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker want to help people overcome that fear.
“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of America experience a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have dropped classes because of it.” 
Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Student Success Statement
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common then unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "Press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

It's important to be persistence because it shows that you care and will fight for your dreams no matter what. You will go far if you are persistence, even if you don't have talent or smart.

Writing Skills
1 Of 10
  Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.
Health professionals keep patient charts, researches depend on the money they collect by writing grant application, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.
So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

Student success statement
"To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage."
 Confucius

What this successful statement is teaching us is that if you are in a situation where you know what the right thing to do is, and you don't do it anyway, then you are cowardly or weak of morale and lack courage. This is true because if you have whats right in front of your face and you choose to do the wrong that's just sad to know. For example if you choose not to do a project in school that will help you raise your grade to a C and you don't do it, that's lack of courage and choosing the wrong.

Using the web wisely
Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, its also easy to post something anyone can do it.
You've probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Other present information in a biased way- they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.
