Student Success Statement James Allen

"You will become as great as your dominate aspiration (goal)".

James Allen '

Reflection: I think what it means is you will become better than you want to be. If you really try and not give up of course. If you have a goal you want to achieve don't give up and keep on going and if you do get to your goal, you should have another goal. You should always have goals and always work and try to achieve all, I think thats what makes life more interesting. For example,my dream is to become a professional soccer player and if I do make it I should have another goal like be an all star or be the best player in your league or have the most goals in the league or something like that. \
