    2. The difference between being good and being great is if you are good its like you are just trying because you have too instead of putting effort. While being great shows you are putting effort and enjoy what you are doing instead . I have not considered this question but now that I think about it makes me realize good is not enough and it will not take you anywhere or accomplish anything such as dreams and goals.

    3. My high school experience is going to be defined by being one of the best. I will like to be one of many students that are going to become successful and accomplish my dream and in order to do that I will have to be the best and be ahead of others. I want my to lead my way into the correct path and be ahead in school instead of being behind and failing. In order to have my high school experience defined as the best I need to make myself be motivated.

    My heart is yearning for greatness because I want the best for me and my future. I want to have a goal and accomplish it. In order to accomplish my goal I will have to stay focus and take as many opptunities to help me reach my goal. Have motivation and being positive. I want to become successful with my life an reach mu dreams. I will have to push myself to do more and not tell myself lies because if I do it will not lead to the path that I want to be. Greatness is the best thing you should be and look for.

    4. This matters because being successful is the best thing you should be. You should want to be successful and have a career that you enjoy doing. In order to become successful you will need to push yourself to do more and stay focus with what you want to achieve. If you do not succeed how do you expect yourself to go far in life. You should always want the best for you and find things that will benefit you and your future.

    You can apply this message to your life to make it better by pushing yourself to do more instead of doing good enough. You will have to make sure to stay focused with what you would like to accomplish instead of giving up. You should always give yourself positive feed back instead of negative feed back, stay positive and not negative. Being negative will not make you go far it will only make you fall behind.

    2. The difference of being good and being great is that if your good then your not that good because being great means that your trying your best on anything your doing. Doing good means that your doing ok not perfect but ok . Doing good is that your not doing as good as your supposed to.

    3. My highschool objective is going to be one of the best because I'm trying my best to keep my grades up and trying to succeed. Because if I don't do good then I won't succeed in life and be as successful then I wanted to be. Keeping my grades up and doing good in school means a lot to me because I want to make my parents proud and want to succeed in life.

    4. This can be applied to my life because I am trying my best to succeed and do good in school so I won't be retained in any subject and won't be a failure. I want to make my parents proud and graduate highschool with a high GPA .

  3. 2.) The difference between being good and being great is that being great is taking that extra step. Being good is being average. Being great is better than being average.

    3.) My high school experience involves me being great. I will be great by doing the best that I can to pass my classes with a B or higher. I will continue to strive to be at the top of my class, because I feel like I need to. I want others to be proud of me, as well as myself. I will never be satisfied with just a B. I always feel like I could've done better somewhere in the class. If I just did something a little better, then I might've had a higher grade. When this happens, I learn from my mistakes. I fix it by trying harder and studying to get the grade I think I deserve.

    I will never be okay with being mediocre. I always feel like I need to put in the most effort that I can. I will always yearn for greatness. I want my future to be bright, and in order to do that I must do everything now that'll help me in the future. One day, I'd like to become an engineer or maybe even work for NASA. In order to do this, I have to get good grades in Math in Science now. If I don't do my best now, I'll never be great.

    4.) The message of the video was that sometimes you need to sacrifice what you have in order to be better in the future. For example, let's say it's your final year in college. You must study and pass your classes in order to graduate on time. You're studying 24/7 and your friends and family would want to spend more time with you. You may lose friendships and your family may be upset, but it's all for a good cause. If you study, you'll pass the classes. If you pass, you graduate. If you graduate, you'll be more successful in the future.

    This message can be applied to your life to make it better. If you truly want to succeed, you need to be willing to sacrifice. In order to be great, you have to sacrifice the good. What this means is that if you're not willing to sacrifice what you already have in order to receive more in the future, you can't be successful. People should always remember this

    2. I guess that the difference between those two is that being good is like your  an alright person like in between the middle, but I guess that being great is that your different from everyone else cause it might be really good to be called great because you might feel really special on that specific day that your called great.

    3. I guess that in my high school experience its going to be defined by me being good at what I do, and I think that what I am good at would probably change of the fact that some things that I am bad at would, but no body is perfect everyone will remain the same or will change to try to be perfect. The only way to try to be good is to not be perfect and to think to yourself that your better than everyone else.

    4. I guess that the reason that it matters cause I do understand that some do wanna be different than most to be perfect like some others but we all don't get what we want out of life to become perfect cause at the end of everyday you and everyone is and has been perfect since the day you decided to say your not perfect and to just be a good person not a perfect one that will always be talk about how they are and how much better they are than you. I feel that I could really apply the message to my life cause many human beings make mistakes and many aren't so perfect than anyone else, and I can probably push myself to be good than to be perfect.

    2.) The difference between Good and Great is like better and beast. Good means its fine, "You're going on the right track." Great means like significant, extraordinary, or "That was great, you did amazing." it's kind of like you did it correctly. I have considered this question but I've had my thoughts/belief.

    3.) I want my high school experience to be defined by me being one of the best. I want to be defined one of the best because it is one of my goals, also because I would know my hard work paid off and my parents and family would be so proud of me. My heart is yearning for GREATNESS because I don't want to be like "Eh" I want to do great I want to sound like "YES." For example I don't want to get/have the leftovers, I want to do me, I want to do something unique.

    4.) This matters because it's better to be great than good. Also to know the differences between good and great. Also we should know what we want. We need to take sacrifices for what we want to happen. We need to do a lot of things. We need to start now if we have to for those who have to. This is why it matters .
          I can apply this to my life and making it better by knowing in mind/heart what's the differences between good and great. Also know what you want in your life. To actually accomplish it you have to take sacrifices. You also need to start now. Also what do you what your life to turn out good or great. Know what they mean.

  7. What is the difference between being Good and being Great? Have you ever considered this question? [2-3 Sentences] The different between them is that great is putting more effort and hen good is less than you expect put it good still. An i have thought about when someone ask me if how i been.
    Is your high school experience going to be defined by you being good at what you do or is your objective to be one of the best? Why? Are you okay with mediocrity or is your heart yearning for GREATNESS[1-2 Paragraphs] I hostly thought high school was going to by like middle school but just with older people. I also thought that they where going to be hard on you about school and there are some teacher that push me to do better and then there teacher who just doesn't care. I want to be the best but i know that there are going to challenges in my life wither it's family or friends. Im not ok with mediocrity because i know that if im ok with that then i will get no where in life.
    Why does this matter and how can you apply the message to your life to make it better? [1-2 Paragraphs] This matter to me beacuse i know i want to be someone in the world but in order to do that i need to take chances. Another reason this matters to me because is i wan't to make my parents proud and let them think that i am worthless. Also this pushes me to be a better person and to teach other people what i been thru. An this make my life better by me knowing about how to give it my all and push myself more in life and to do better.

  8. 1. Notes on "Sacrifice Good for Great" video.

    2. I think the difference between good and great is that good is putting an okay amount off effort into anything. On the other hand I think great means to do even more better, and maybe even actually enjoy what you are doing, I have not considered this question but now that I look at it it makes me think that good is not as good as doing great because if you are great at something then that means that you can actually accomplish a task.

    3. My high school experience is going to be defined as doing good and be the best I can be.By doing the best I can I need to work hard and put good enough effort into a task. All through high school I want to be successful because after the hard work I will do great in life.

    My heart is yearning for for greatness because I want to be successful in life and be able to have a great future, but in order for me to be successful in the future I need to push my self. What I mean is that I need to push myself to put the effort needed to succeed. When I have a task that needs to be done I need to then push myself ad do everything in order to do great.

    4. This matters because doing great is better than doing good, being successful is the best thing you can do. If you are successful in life then you will have a great future. And in order for you to be successful you have to work hard for and put a good amount of effort.

    I can apply this message to my life to make it better by always being great instead of good because being great will lead you to more success. All you need to succeed is work hard and put enough effort into you're task. Therefore in order to succeed you need to be great instead of good.

  9. 1. I think the difference of being good and great is the level of excellence. Good means you are average. Good is like meeting up to standards. Great is more like exceeding standards. You feel better when someone says great than when someone says good. I actually do think about this when I get tests back. Good is when I made more than some mistakes. Great is when I never made any mistakes.

    2. My high school experience will be defined by me trying to be well-rounded. One subject I will try to at least meet standards to is math. However, I will not let any other subject get lower than an A. I believe that math is an exception because I have always been bad at math no matter how much I try. Other than that, I will always strive for greatness. I will always try to be well-rounded in every subject because they all were never a problem before. They shouldn't start being a problem.

    My objective is to be one of the best. I really want to be one of the top 15 or 10 my transcripts. I try to meet with my teachers although some can be a challenge. I really want to prove myself. I have seen my sister go through the ups and owns. All I know is that it just gets harder. One of my weaknesses is being lazy which is very bad.

    3. This matters because if we are going to gain something we also have to give something up. For example, in order to have a baby, you have to lose some money in order to buy baby supplies. In order to get a good grade in a class, you have to sacrifice your time in order to study. You can't just magically have a good grade. You have to work and give time. Everything needs time and effort. You can't just get things for free.

    This can be applies to your life by knowing things can't be given to you directly. You have to work your way through life.You have to do whatever it takes to get what you want. Even if it means turning your phone off and taking hours to study. It can hurt others. It can even hurt yourself. However, if thats what it takes, it will be worth it in the end.

  10. 2. the difference between being good and being great is being good means to do alright while being great means doing all you can to get to the best level of your education.no i have never considered this question but i was asked this question today in 2nd period.

    3.my high school year will be defined as one of the best I will challenge myself i will try new things i will do whatever it takes to get to the best level of education.It might seem as if i'm joking because how my grades are looking right now but i'm really serious. my grades are bad because i was slacking i was being lazy but all of that is going to change.Its going to change because people have motivated me to work hard and go to college. I get motivated by just looking at all the homeless people on the street it makes me realize what i don't wanna become when i turn 18.My sister motivates me I can't bare to look at the disappointment in her face when i have bad grades. I'm not OK with the mediocrity i'm yearning for greatness I don't wanna drop out of school I don't wanna be homeless.i wanna succeed i wanna go to college I wanna get my GED I wanna succeed as much as i wanna breathe.

    4. This matters because my uncle didn't finish high school or go to college he dropped out and guess how his life started off.He used to sleep on park benches and bathe in public bathrooms. He begged for money and people didn't give it to him because he would just buy drugs.So when he didn't have money for food he would either eat out of trashcans or go to a restaurant and hold up a sign saying i will do anything for food and money. my mom would try to help him every once in a while and let him come to our house to sleep for a couple of days . my mom kicked him out though because he was doing drugs in the bathroom. He had nowhere else to go and some nights he would sneak into our garage and sleep on our old couches.He then finally decided to do something with his life and got a job he made lots of money and got a house.He had a baby and still continued to do drugs. A year after his daughters birth he died his kidneys were failing because of all the drugs he was doing

  12. 2. The difference between good and great is good is average and just do the minimum. And great is exceeding the limit. I have considered this question because i have been asked it before.

    3. My objective is to the be best I can possibly be and be the best at what I do. I want to be the best in all my classes, I want to be the best I can be. I want to be the best in school because I know it will make my family proud. I can't handle knowing that I didn't give my all on something I was able to give my best on. I want to prove to people that i and worth calling the best.

    I can apply this to my life by sacrificing whatever it takes to go to the next level. I need to do whatever it takes to reach the next milestone I have planned. If I leave people to focus on what i got planned and they stay then that means that they will support me through anything. I have to get rid of anything that stands in my way of getting what I want. I have remove all the distractions in my life to achieve what I want to achieve. I have to see if I want to stay with people that will bring me down or be with people that will stay with me no matter what.


    4. This matters because many people are okay with being a mediocre or being satisfactory. But they should be aiming to be the best. People should be aiming to be the best they could possibly be. Being great is what gets people places in life. The leaders of the world are not just good or average. They didn't settle for being good, they aimed for more then required they exceeded. So if someone were to want to do something extraordinary with their life than they must aim to be great. I can apply the message of the video to my life by becoming willing to sacrifice the good things I currently have for something better on that i'll have in the future. I can learn to be okay with losing people and having people call me out on my actions. I can begin to use the method, write it down and shut it down, to get to the next level. I won't settle for good, if there is something higher that i can achieve. Lastly, I can sacrifice my current blessings to get something greater.

    2. The difference about being good vs being great is that one is better than the other you want to achieve more and you wanna be great.I have considered this question when i think about how i want my life to be like. great and good are too very different things.


    3. My objective is going to be the best that i can be. Meaning doing all my homework and studying for all my test. And even though i'm sometimes not gonna wanna do it i'm still gonna have too if i want a great life. I'm gonna have to make sacrifices for example not going out that day or not going to that one party. i have to sacrifice things but at the end of the day i know i'm doing all that i can and my sacrifices where worth it.

    My heart is yearning for greatness i wanna do great at everything i'm doing. I don't wanna look back and think maybe i could have done that better or just have any regrets. i wanna look back and think to myself i did everything i could and i did great on it. I wanna put everything i have into any thing i'm doing and do amazing on it. weather it be my homework or my test's or paying attention for the littlest things.


    4. This matters because you should not be going around living your life not doing your best. you should always try your best even if you think it doesn't matter. you should be succeeding at everything you do because it is very important. Its very important because its your life and you should want to have a great life. This is also very important because i want the best for my future and for my family because i know one day i'm gonna have to pay all those bills. And no ones gonna help me but me because i don't wanna have to struggle to pay a bill.


    I can apply this to my life by not settling for less and achieving more. Also by challenging myself to do great things that are not easy. and doing all the work even though i'd rather be going out with some of my friends. Because i know that its all gonna pay off somehow and i might be struggling right now but in the future i won't. I wanna have an amazing life and future and being able to give my kids thing that maybe i didn't get and giving them a good childhood. Just being the best i could ever be and doing great

    2.) the difference between being good and bad is that good will lead you to success. Something bad will lead you locked up
    3.) I think my high school experience will be defined by how you do good at what you like to do. My heart is learning from greatness because I've learn a lot of thing about my teachers. I've also have seen an example on how not to act in life. I know i shouldn't act rude to others because that will effect my high school experience.
    4.) This matter because this milestone will lead you to success. This is also crucial on the way i handle my money financially. I could apply this concept to my life when i am in debt. I could apply this video to accomplish my dreams.this milestone concept will benefit me the long way.

    2. The difference is that being Good is that you can do something, you usually never do any mistakes. Being Great is when you are the best at something. You never have any mistakes and you always put your all into something.



    3. My objective is to be one of the best. I want people to know my name and talk about me as one of the best that has ever came to this school. Not only for this, but I want to be very good at something I love and be recognized for it. I do not want to be one of those people who think just being average at something is OK, what I want to do is be one of the best or if I put myself to it enough the best. My objective is to be a good artist in Mr. Jennings class. I really love to draw and it would be nice to be recognized by it. I am a good drawer but I don't want to leave it at just that, I want to be recognized by my work and be remembered in the future for what I did.

    I am not OK with mediocrity because I know I can do better. If I can do more than what I can than I will try and do more.My heart is yearning for greatness. When I would rather win doing my best than lose when I didn't even try. Whenever I feel like I am not doing my best and look at my grades and just see from there. After that I just start doing better because I do not like it when I feel like I am not putting my 100% into something. Even when I see other people not doing there best, I get annoyed with them because I know they can do better they just choose not to.



    4. This matters because people are OK with being good. They need to understand that they should want to be great. They don't care if they don't get recognized, they're OK with just being good at something. If you are great people notice you more and you're remembered later in the future by what you did. Sometimes people don't even like what they re doing, that's why they don't strive to do more because they're not enjoying what they are doing. If you do something you love than it will be easier to be successful because it won't feel like a job to you. You should always want to be the greatest than just simple " good ".

    I can apply this to my life because I am always trying to be the greatest at something I love. I can never be satisfied when I am just "good" at something. I am always trying to find new ways to make the job easier so I can be recognized. Whenever i do recognized for what I do, I get more motivated to do more work. Never be OK with just being good. You would want to be great and be remembered in the future. People might even use your work to show other people as reference. I can inspire others to do greater things in life.

      2. The difference is that being Good is that you can do something, you usually never do any mistakes. Being Great is when you are the best at something, when you are absolutely the best at something. You never have any mistakes and you always put all of you effort into your job.

If I am in mediocrity, I won't be remembered at all because I wasn't good enough.

    2.there are many differences about being god and being great. one of the differences is being better than what you are.another difference is one being better and one being mediocre

    3. I can apply this to my life by sacrificing whatever it takes to go to the next level. I need to do whatever it takes to reach the next milestone I have planned.

I want to be the best at basketball because that is what I want to be the best at. I can't handle knowing that I didn't give my all on something I was able to give my best on. I want to be the best at everything so people think I'm worth keeping. I want to prove to people that I can be the best.

    2.There is a difference between being good and being great.Being good means that you can do the things you need to do it,but you won't put as much effort put into the work.Being great means that you can do many things and get really good grades or even graduate,you will put more effort into the work you do to get a better grade or prize.I haven't really considered this question throughout my life,but now that its up, i wonder more about it.

    3.One of my objectives for my high school years is to be the best that i can be. I want people to remember me for the accomplishes i did throughout my life.I also want people to remember me as who I am and how i acted to friends and other people.Third of all, I believe that you will be more recognized for the things you did in high school,and how you acted in high school. Last of all,I want people to remember me for who i was as one whole.
    (PARAGRAPH 2)
    In my opinion,my hearts tells me that it yearning for greatness more than mediocrity.My heart is yearning for greatness because it wants to be the best of the best.It wants to be the best of the best because it wants to feel special,it doesn't want to be a normal heart it wants to have a purpose.Also,it wants to feel great for what it can accomplish and do things that others can't do.It wants to be able to do more things than other people,it wants to be able to explore the world for a greater understanding of the whole world.Its like my heart wants to know the meaning of the whole planet and why humans exist.It wants to know the whole story behind the creation of the earth and everything on it.

    4.This would make a major difference to my life in many ways.One way it could make my life better would be that i can start setting milestones for my life up-ahead.Another way i can apply this to my life would be to try my best to succeed,so i can get to my life goals.I want to achieve and get all my milestones complete,i want the to be fulfilled.I want to other people to know that i can achieve my milestones and that they can trust me with things that need to be done.Last of all i want to let people know that i will be able to achieve anything that blocks my road of success even if its big or small,I WILL succeed.
    (PARAGRAPH 2)
    The message that was stated in the video should matter to everyone that listens to it.This should matter to everyone because it can help you succeed in life,you would be able to prevail any kind of troubles you have.It can be applied to anyone who watches it and understands what he means and how he says it.This message can be applied to life to allow yourself to reach your milestones and even pass test,that you think you will fail.Just like E.T. says "If milestones were easy to hit than everybody ,would be hitting them every single day."This message should be very important to everybody in the world,everybody should care about this message that was given to us.

    2. There's many differences between the words good & great. First, good means that you have some qualities for a particular role. Great means you can even do better than good. You can do more & experience more if you try to be more than just good.

    3. My high school objective is going to be one of the best. I want to do the best I can, and do more work than others think I'm not capable of. I don't wanna be that person who thinks that doing "well" is okay. I know that I'[m capable of doing better. If I can do good, why not be great? I can do great, by just doing extra. I don't wanna think that if I get a C on my test, that that's fine. If I study & focus on what I'm learning about, I can do better.

    I know I'm capable of doing a great job. I'm capable of doing anything. If I'm already doing good, I can for sure do better. I don't think mediocrity is okay, because I know everyone is capable of doing great. All people can do great with effort & a positive mind, but it's just that some people choose not too. People get lazy & don't think that it's important to be great, when it is. You should always be trying to do great, it's for yourself. Lastly, some people get distracted by friends & technology. The only way to do great is to say bye, so you get greater opportunities. You're gonna have to sacrifice technology & you're gonna have to sacrifice friendship as well as entertainment.

    4. This matters because some people need to set their standards higher. Everyone is capable of doing great, you just have to make sacrifices. You have to look at the opportunities you have now and say bye to you distractions. If you don't go the next level you're gonna have to give up something. You have to lose stuff to gain stuff. Do whatever you have to do. Do whatever it takes, to be greater than you think.

    I can apply this message to my life in many ways. I have to learn to say bye to my distractions and get to work to be the greatest I can be. I have to learn to look at the opportunities I have and do whatever it takes to be where I want to be. I'm gonna have to lose stuff to gain stuff. If I don't go to the next level, I'm gonna have to give up something. I have to be the greatest I can be. & I'll do whatever it take to be the greatest.

  20. 1) The difference between being good and great is that being good is like your on the middle stage. Being great means your awesome because your at the top. Honestly i never considered this question.
    2) My high school experience is going to be defined on what I do good. I chose this because I wouldn't say one of the best because I'm not one of the best.Although I'm willing to try to become one of the best. Another reason I'm saying this is because I'm trying to start off as a non-important person. Then i want to be important my senior year of high school.
    I want to do this so I can be known. Also so I can have more friends. Yes, I am okay with mediocrity but, my heart is yearning for greatness. I just want the best for me because
    if I achieve my goal of greatness then I'll have a good career. If I get a good career then i will buy a house for my family. Greatness will get me to success.
    3) This matters to me in many ways.One of the ways it matters in is because what I want in life is to be successful and greatness might get me there. I can apply this message to my life by getting good grades in school. If I want to become great i need to put effort into it. If I were to apply this to my life it would be better because I would be leaded to success.

    2._Being good is just doing the things "okay" not everyone is good because they don't spend time trying to be good, they think that if they did something good, they can live with it. Being great is putting real effort and thinking about the real world, thinking about the real future. The difference of great and good is that everybody can do something okay, and maybe they can say that they dis it really good, but a person who put effort is great because they thought about the good things.

    3._ I think my high school experience thought me that I am good, but my friends are telling me that I don't have to great to be someone in life, I know I'm good with some things but i really feel that I can do them better, I need to put some effort on the things that are good for me and if my friends are telling me that they don't want to then I really need to find the "great" friends.
    My objective is being the best on this high school, but if I do my homework or classwork " good" then probably this is not going to happen, mediocrity is weakness, I think that the students really need to know the difference between mediocre and great, not everything is easy, and good is easy, great is something hard but you can do it.

    4._This is important because if you choose the " good friends " instead of the "great friends" this can cause so many problems, or if you do some work but you did't do it great, you can get a bad grade even thought you did it, there are so many reasons why great is better than good, it is our decision to decided what is wrong and what is right.

    I can apply this to my life by doing the right things but I have to do them great, because people wants us to succeed but we have to choose, good is not bad but sometimes is mediocre and you need to make them great to make them perfect, you have to push yourself to do this and not give up every time we think that we are not doing good but at least we need to try making this great .

  22. 2.) The difference between good and great is that good is more like average, like it's good but you can do something better and great is better then good. I actually never considered this question because i always knew that great was better then good and that there was always a difference.


    3.) I want my high school experience to be the best it can, because you only go to high school one time and I want people to remember me about being the best guitarist in school. I mean nobody really knows that i play guitar but I want to play in front of the school one day, But nobody likes the music i like.
    I'm really not okay with mediocre because most of the time they want you to be good at something or expect you to know everything. But when you mess up something they are going criticize you all the time now,but i want to have greatness in my life to be successful in my goals.

    4.) This matters because when you start being good at something you always wanted to do, their mite people that way tell you, "that you can't do it" or "your not good enough to be here". And you shouldn't listen to them because you can be good at anything as long as you try your hardest, you can apply this to your life by achieving your goal and not letting people tell what to do.

    2. The difference between good and great are how good is decent and great is better. For example, if I did the right thing ( for any occasion ) then it was good for me to do, but if I went to the max and did something more than just what I did then that is considered great. We strive for more than what we need to, that way we become bigger and better. I've never really thought about this question deeply but I personally think we only strive to be great when we really need to unless it's not necessary.

    3. I think my high school is going to be defined by how good I was at what I can do. Personally, I don't think it's best for me to strive to be the greatest at the school because that just isn't me and I wouldn't want to mess up. By " messing up " I mean like having to put so much pressure on myself and do absolutely everything in my power to become the best student. I would prefer to be really good at what I do. As in have straight A's but not brag and or join every club possible to be known as the girl who can do everything.
    My heart is yearning for greatness although it's
    only from my point of view. The way I see myself being great is havin straight A's and being responsible but also being happy overall. High school is big milestone, and I myself do believe I should feel comfortable with myself. Being comfortable with the friends I choose, grades, and classes. Focusing on school is number one on my list. Striving for greatness for me is honestly being totally happy with my grades and myself.

    4. To me this matters because of how this is the way I see myself doing in highschool and college. I know that at times I might not be happy with myself but I will get pass that and make myself better. Good grades might become hard to earn, but I believe that with self love it won't be impossible. If we are happy with who we are then we have better intentions and exceptions from ourselves. Achieving because we believe in ourselves should become a better habit then having to tell ourselves we won't make it.
    I can apply this to my life to make it better by telling myself positive things. Reminding myself everyday that I'm capable of doing the impossible and that my goal can be accomplished. Greatness comes from hard work and dedication, but without it will never be done. Applying positive vibes will lead me to greatness because I believe in myself, and I can do anything if I set my mind to it. I will be and do great in what I can do, and strive to be even better at it.

    2. To me good means your average and like everyone else. Great i feel like your not like others. Meaning you stand out more and can do things better.

    3. My high school experience will not be like that. I want it to be both, i want to be one of the best. It would also be nice for it o be defined on what i'm good at. Id want both because it something different and something new. Sacrifice is good in life. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get to something back. You need to spend money to earn money.

    4. This matters because people don't go past their expectations. If they don't they'll never get better at something. They have to put all the effort they can and do more. They have to be great at whatever they do not just good. If they want to get better and succeed with it they must put in 100% or more effort.I can apply this to my life to make it better by always going for great. I can always go for more than expected and do more than just enough. I won't stop where everyone thinks I will but go farther. If I don't then it won't be satisfying. I will put my all in the things I do like school.
