Student Success Statement

“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”

Henry Ward Beecher

Reflection: I think this statement means that you should always try to go above everyone’s expectations. If you give up once you fulfill their expectations, then they are not going to think that you can do any better. But if you really try and go above and beyond, then you will show everyone how good you can really do. Also, don’t make excuses for yourself. You need to take responsibility for yourself. Don’t blame others if you fail.
