Student Success Statement
Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation.


What I think this saying means is that everything is white, and your brain is the paint. You can have a good attitude and paint it colorful, with cheerful colors. That means that you want to be happy, On the other hand, you can  paint it with gloomy colors, like black and brown. With those colors, you might be sad, angry, depressed. Your mind can do a lot of powerful things, but your attitude can stop it from doing so, or empower it to do so.

Student Success Statement
"Kindness is the essence of greatness."
Joesph B. Wirthlin

I think what this man means is that anyone who is kind and nice, is great. If you help out a person in need, for example, giving out to the homeless, you will be great because in that exact moment you showed kindness. Even if no one saw you be great, you still feel great because you know you did the right thing and you really helped someone out that day. I also feel that even if no one sees you doing a thing, you shouldn't do it because of that, you should still do it for the sole purpose of self pleasure of feeling good and respectable

Student Success Statement
"There is no giant step that does it. It's a lot of little steps."
-Anon

I think what this "Anon" means is that you can't become a professional at something, if you try it for the first time. It takes time and patience. It can't be done in one second, it wouldn't make sense. In order to be something in life you have to have the patience and attitude of a champion, even if you don't succeed most of the time. That is what makes people great.
