Student Success Statement

“I have three messages:

(1)       We should never, ever give up.

(2)       You are never too old to chase your dreams.

(3)       It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.”

Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

I think that the first message is a good message. We should never give up on any task or challenge, unless it will endanger our or someone else’s physical or mental health. The second statement is a great message as well. Age shouldn't matter when you are trying to fulfill a dream. Of course as we get older our physical health starts to weaken so we shouldn't do something that we know we wouldn't be able to handle physically. The third message is true because usually you can never accomplish something huge without the help from others. Sometimes we don’t want to accept that we might need the help of others but we still need it otherwise. Whether it be direct support towards your goal or just moral support, we can’t do everything on our own.
