Student Success Statement
“We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn’t do”

Richard L. Evans.

I think that this means that we should continue to do what is right if that is what we’re doing. Also that if we are not doing what is right we should stop, doing the wrong thing and start doing what is right.
Students Responsibilities
Part 3
What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed.
Some keys characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use medication and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learnt both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be a personal or business inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable to recover from setbacks more easily.;

The Importance of Good Sportsmanship
An example of good sportsmanship is being respectful. You should always treat others the way you want to be treated. You should always treat other group members in a respectful way. Another example of good sportsmanship is being honest. You should always say the truth. Lying does not bring anything good. The truth at the end will come up. Being responsible is another example of good sportsmanship.   Good sportsmanship is important because this way people will respect you, for the good actions you have decided to take. People will look up to you if you have good sportsmanship. Not only this, but you will feel good about yourself. You always should choose the right and set an example for others. You should not only care about what others say about you. You should have good sportsmanship not only because others will look up to you, but also because it will make you feel good.
Good Sportsmanship students should be:
*Respectful
*Responsible
*Honest
*Caring
