Student Success Statement  

              

                   "A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder." -Thomas Carlyle  

A rudder in a ship is what determines what way the ship will go. We can use this and compare it to a person. Without a rudder the ship would not know what way to go. So a person without goals will not know what way to go. This is why it is important to have goals. We don’t know the way we're heading if we do not know what our goals is. Goals are important because they lead us. We know where we're heading and how it's going to happen. If we do not have goals we don't have a plan. This means that we are not going to be successful this way. We must always have goals and a way to get there.
