Student Success Statement

“No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.”

Charles Kendall Adams, American Historian

Reflection: I think this quote means that it’s not enough to just do what you’re told. You have to work extra hard and go above people’s expectations. For example, if a teacher tells you to write a one page essay, then you write two pages. It won’t hurt to do a little more. It can only help.
