“Act well your part; there all honor lies.”        -Alexander Pope

This quote does not really get to me because I do not think that I understand the quote really well, but I am going to take a guess on order to understand the meaning of this quote. I think that you need to act well in order for things to come out the way that you want them to come out. Always be an honorable person and do the right thing no matter what other people think. If you commit to something stick to it because then when people see that you did not commit to whatever you said you were going to do then they will not trust you anymore.

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

1.   Can people trust me to do what’s right? YES!

2.  Am I committed to doing my very best? YES!

3.  Do I treat people the way I want to be treated? Sometimes

 -Lou Holtz

These questions may be the importance of life because these questions make you actually think about what you want to do with your life and if you are capable of doing those things. I am committed to becoming a great person and I think that people can trust me to do what is right instead of what is wrong. Sometimes I do tend to treat people a little bad but now I know that I need to change that. If I change the last thing about me I think that I am on the right path to becoming a more successful person.

“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

I think that this quote means that a good student is not just a student who does what is required for that student to do but a good student is also who does more that what that student can do like extra curricular activities. Sometimes a good student is the student who has good grades and is also well involved in after school stuff. Like me as a student I am taking to AP classes and on top of that I’m joining other school clubs that make me be stressed sometimes and not have time to study but I know that I am a great student for being involved in school activities.

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

                                          -Henry Ward Beecher

This quote means a lot because sometimes we only accomplish what people think we can accomplish and we never try harder to accomplish more than what they think we can accomplish. We need to prove them wrong that we can accomplish way more things than people want us to accomplish. My freshman math teacher was one of those people she made me feel like I couldn't accomplish anything in her class and that I wouldn't be able to understand math, at first I was actually starting to believe that but when I started sophomore year in a new school I ended up being one of the smartest ones in my class and I passed the class with a B. Then on my junior year the same thing is happening I actually feel smart in my math classes and I can prove to my old math teacher who didn't want me to do good that I was able to do good without her having to put me down.
