One definition of the word success is the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts. Early College’s definition of success is achieving goals and improving your mentality as a person.
Success doesn’t always mean being famous or being smart, it also means becoming a better person and doing something with your life. For example, say you want to become a teacher. In order to be a teacher, you have to use your skills as an advantage to achieve your goal. Calvin Le shares his vision of success that he sees in his U.S. history teacher, Mr. Graybill.
“He loves the Civil War and he does everything he can to study and know every aspect of it. That’s what makes him successful, practice.”
Working together as a community can be another definition of success. It can be classified as success because when you’re working as a team and learning from each other, you get to experience things you never experienced or planned on doing. “(At Early College) we put our minds together by working in small groups in the classroom,” Oneisha Lee, a 10th-grade Early College student, said.
Respecting other people’s ideas is a big role in success. In order to be successful, you have to respect each other to maintain the positive environment of the people around you.
“Everyone at Early College puts their ideas together. Each idea is respected and listened to,” Ti’Kera Hightower, a 10th-grade Early College student, said.
Being yourself can help you become successful. It can help you because when you pretend to act like something you’re not, it can affect your chances of becoming that person you always wanted to be. “The different individualities in Early College help make up our community and lets us be ourselves,” Krishindra Johnson, a 10th-grade Early College student, said.
Success can also be moving forward in life and achieving goals. Everyone can be successful in many different ways.
“In the words of Mrs. Nix, ‘We’re all teachers and we’re all learners, ” Early College student Benzetta Reeves explained.
Briana Townes, Early College 10th-grade student, puts the mission of Early College in her own words. “My definition of success is making it in life.”
The community of Early College tries to help its students achieve their goals by applying knowledge, respecting each other individually and working together as a family.
