Student success statement

            “Nothing in the world can take place of

                                  Persistence.”

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of education derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and will solve the problems of the human race.”

                                  President Calvin Coolidge

30^th president of US (1872-1933)

Reflection:

Life is a challenge we must adhere to. Life is motivation. Life is breathing. Out of Many people in the world there are different kinds the ones that aren't meant for college and the ones that just have the talent to do things on their own.

Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”

Matt Biondi

Olympic Gold Winner,

World record

Reflection:

This statement is trying to say is that if your firm on what you want you will achieve it. Work hard for what you want and don’t give up because giving up is for failures. If one day you want to go to the moon work hard and study to become astronaut.

Duties and responsibilities:

  Osteopathic physicians use accepted methods of diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases. Osteopaths use a hands-on approach to medicine and frequently manipulate or palpate as part of diagnosis and treatment.  They work primarily in osteopathic hospitals or private practice, however many pathological hospitals now accept osteopathic physicians as staff members.  The majority of osteopaths are general practitioners, family practitioners, or emergency medicine specialists.  

Salary: $110,000

Education:

  Students should take the most challenging high school courses including AP or IB courses, available in science, math, and English. After three or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical school.  Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics.  Some medical schools also require course work in calculus, English, the humanities, or social science.

Reflection:

  I think would want to be an osteopathic physician because it sounds very interesting and it takes lots of studying and time to be this. It might be hard but it’s worth it. They get paid really well.

                  Student Success Statement

 The answers to these questions will determine your success or failure:

·      Can people trust me to do what’s right?

·      Am I committed to doing my very best?

·      Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

Reflection:

  I think there is no trust anymore now days. Back then all you had to say was “I promise” and they didn't have to sign anything anymore but now a days they ask for your address and all kinds of information. For an example if you want the bank to let you borrow money they have to look at your record and they do all kinds of research on you. Another example if you want to buy a car and you don’t pay on time they will take it away, even if you say u already paid it. I don’t really know but people say I am different from everyone else other people do things without thinking and I like thinking things through. I think I could be committed to do the best. I do treat others the way I want to be treated. If someone treats me bad I will to. If someone treats me nice I will too.  

                                    Optometrist

Duties and responsibilities:

Most optometrists are self-employed, however many work for hospitals, government agencies, optical manufacturers, or universities.

  Students interested in becoming an optometrist should take the most challenging high school courses (AP or IB) available in math, science, and English.  Before entering an optometry school at least two years of college in a pre-professional program is required.  Optometry school is four years in length.  After being awarded the degree of Doctor of Optometry, optometrists must pass state exams before starting to practice.

Reflection:

  

  I think I wouldn't want to be an optometrist because it’s working with the eyes and I don’t like working with the eyes. I think it takes more hard work and more input.

“Never look to the ground for your next step. Greatness belongs to those who look to the horizon.”

Bud Greenspan

Reflection:

 This statement is very true because if you look down you give up, it’s like looking back. Always look forward and not backwards. If you look back your wont achieve your goals you will just give up. I think the more you try the better things will turn out. I know because I been through it you just have to look forward and not back because all u will ever do is put yourself down. Look forward not back!!!
