JFK Fitness Video Response

JFK Fitness Video Response 

That video i just saw by JFK spoke of how us Americans should stay fit. he mentioned how, when your fit, stuff becomes clearer and begins to make sense. i agree with his thought, and  i still wish we could enforce these thoughts a little more to this very day. i say we should because i notice how people nowadays are starting to become lazy and unhealthy due to our everyday electronics. from cell phones, to computers. with all these new inventions, how do we not expect to become lazier.

Student Success Statement JFK

 

Student Success Statement
"Physical fitness is not only one if the most important keys to a healthy body. it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. the relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. much is not yet understood. but we do know what the greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."
-President John F. Kennedy

I agree with this statement that was written by a great man, i agree with his thoughts when he mentions that physical fitness is important, but so is intelligence. and when both of these important keys combine, you get something great. something that can, or will impact the lives of many, and yourself.

Student Success Statement Charles Kendall Adams

Student Success Statement

"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, American Historian

I believe in this quote because of its meaning. i agree when this person says that over achieving is what should really be looked upon. i also agree that those who over achieve or do very good, should be looked upon as those of greatness, and also looked upon as someone who wants to go somewhere in life.
