Student SUCCESS STATEMENT

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

TALENT will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent 

GENIUS will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb

EDUCATION 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."


President Calvin Coolidge


Reflection: from my point of view I believe that this quote is trying to tell and explain to us that in order to reach success, failure will always be a part of your journey. But Each and every time you fail, never give up, stand up and try harder. Go farther than you could have ever imagined. For example being the least smart person in your math class, every time you fail you try harder, you study each and every chance you get, go over through your entire lesson. Ask the teacher for help, or attend tutoring. Then watch yourself reach higher than expectations.

"persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement"

Matt Biondi

REFLECTION: What I believe this statement means is that being intelligent enough to do what is right at all times, to go beyond expectations, to achieve more than wanted, to do better in all, is all you really need in order to go from failure to achieving what you want. Because nothing is impossible if you set your mind straight to it.

Summary
What john F kennedy was telling us in his video was that we need to be physical and mental fit. He doesn't exactly mean to have a perfect body but to have good health and mental health. What he means by mental health is that you never do anything bad you never have bad thoughts or say bad things to anyone. Hes saying this is important because we will have a lot of strong citizens in our country. With a lot of health and mental fit people in our nation our nation will be stronger. I promise to abstain myself from any drug, alcohol, or anything that will affect my body or my mind.  
STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

" For physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." 


John F Kennedy

REFLECTION: This quote means that our bodies if they are healthy they will be not only physical fit,but be our minds complex and subtle. For example if you were not healthy then you would be lazy and not be subtle in your mind, but if you are healthy you will be a body that is healthy and strong.
