Student Success Statement

"No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her: it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction."

Charles Kendall Adams, American Historian 

This quote is saying nobody succeeds with just doing what is required. Most people succeed because they over achieve what is required. The successful people are usually distinguish by thinking out the box and doing something else. Most successful most are the ones who are known for the excellence they have done. For example, kids who like to get straight A's dont only do what is required, they also think out the box and see in what other ways they can improve or over achieve the assignment.

Student Success Statement

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Aristotle

I think this quote is saying without education you won't succeed. Being educated in the mind only won't change your life. Being educated in the heart is knowing what is right from wrong. Being educated in the heart and mind is when you know when something is not right. When you know right from wrong you are highly educated in the mind and heart.
