Student Success Statement

“Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want know. Write down what you want most and see it often.”

Peter Vidmar

Reflection:

This quote means that you shouldn’t take the easy way and give up what you desire the most. An example of this is you wanting to earn straight A’s on the next report card. Then at the moment you want to go to a friends house instead of studying for a test. By choosing to wait for the long term goal is better than wanting to accomplish a short term goal and mess up your dreams. Even though achieving what you really want might take a lot of time and work it is worth it in the end because you will have accomplished something that will really help you out in life. Another example is you really wanting to lose a certain amount of weight but then wanting to eat junk food with your friends. The right choice would be picking a healthy instead. By making this choice you are helping by building up to your goal. Even though the temptation might be strong you should not give in because you will regret that decision later. After all the best things in life don’t happen easily without doing any work.
