Student Success Statement

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Helen Keller

I agree with this statement. There is so much that we can do by ourselves, but when you start to do it with a lot of people, then there is a great potential to what you can do. For example, let’s say you are in a band. You might be the lead guitarist, but there’s only so much that you can do on your own. You can sing, or keep the tempo, but you won’t be sounding as good with the entire band. If the drums, bass, guitar, and vocals go together, then there is so much that they can do. They will sound beautifully and do so much more than they would have done on their own.

“So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

Sean Covey

This quote is true. There are many things that we do to be part of the “group” of more popular people that we lose control of we are doing and we don’t see what is really important. For example, in the movie The Lorax, there was this guy who wanted to make a Thneed and when his invention got popular he started chopping down trees. His greed for money got him so obsessed with production that he chopped down all the trees in that area, there were no more to existence. He was trying to be part of the high class rich people. He didn’t see what was important and he ended up worse than how he started. Another way we see this happening, is today in society. People try to be something they are not and go with the fad. Many young teenagers these days are wearing dumb clothing, snapbacks, and are getting tattoos to fit in with the “group”. This group isn’t even a good one to begin with. Many people are getting with whats cool or fashionable and they are forgetting who they really are and what is important.

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give up my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later almost always grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.
