Student Success Statement: Arnold H Glasgow

" In life as in football, you wont go far, unless yo know where the goalposts are" ~Arnold H. Glasgow

                   What I believe Arnold is saying in this quote is to aim for a goal and if you don't make it was because you didn't take the right path. My siblings once had a goal to become either a mechanic, actress, and even a doctor. But they had excuses of their own. And they know that what prevented them from those dreams they had were the excuses they had. They now tell me don't let excuses come your way or do the same stupid choice we did. My mom tells me "Fatima look at what you want to become or do and know the difference between the right path or the lazy path". I honestly take that quote to my heart because no matter what my mom might've done in the past she never let me kill myself alone. The struggles I went through she went through them with me.For example when i'm older I want to become a English teacher and my mom and my family in general has help me with that dream. Of course I rarely do anything besides homework and work on my persistence to make my goal become real. And honestly its going great. My moms best friend offered me a part time job as a assistant and teacher at our community church and I can say that i love it. So my goal post is at college and my head is in the game.
