Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. This rule is even [more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day  to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

                                    John Wooden

Reflection: This quote means that you have to try hard every day because you may never be able to go back in time and change what you have done. You have to become a little better each day and you can only do that if you try.
