Student Success Statement

"Hold Yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

Henry Ward Beecher

      What i understand about this quote is that you must not let people bring you down. You have to prove them wrong. An you better surprise them, so they know they shouldn't be prejudice. They shouldn't judge a books by a cover. An example would be if somebody say your not smart and if you pass your math class. The person that told you that is challenging you to pass it or else you be a nothing in life. You must surprise them so they stop bringing people down. If somebody brings you down, you must be the one to bring yourself up no ,matter what people think of you its for your own good. You must have that responsibility to go beyond the moon and shoot for the stars. If somebody thinks you have low standards, you don't prove them wrong, and don't excuse your self for nobody. You have your mind set out to be a higher standard person. Thats why i agree with this quote.
