ReplyDelete3.My high school experience is going to be the greatest because my grades are good enough to go on the next step and the one after that because that's what we need to be in life is successful.Also because what i do in school is to be good because so i can get my grades up.
Also the reason why is because our grades show it all how we been how we do and also we have to put all our effort to be successful. than i don't focus on the negative because that just makes me do bad in school and for my reputation especially.
4. This matters because we have to do good in life because when we want to be successful we all have to make a sacrifice in order to go on to the next step. Also, we all need our next steps in life because how are we gonna be successful.last it matters because in order to be good we have to be great in our next steps.
i could apply this to my life because every school year i need to be good especially for my grades because i want to be successful in life and achieve many goals so i can accomplish them all by myself because we all have to make sacrifices especially with our friends so we can do good and then great.
1. (Notes)
ReplyDelete2. There are a few differences between being good and being great. Based upon one's perception being good could mean being moderate or slightly above moderate at a task. Also on that basis being great could mean going far beyond moderate.
3. My high school experience is going to be defined by me being phenomenal at what I do. This may be because I deeply want to go to a certain place in the future and to do that I would need to work hard on the task at hand. This will effect the school experience as it will cause me to focus on my education probably more than on friendships and hobbies. This will thus cause a rift between what I want now and what I want in the future causing some unfortunate loses. If not indicated already I am not OK with mediocrity and I am yearning for something beyond what is considered averagely great.
4. This can matter in a variety of ways. One reason this can matter would be that it teaches people to make sacrifices to achieve their goals. This is important as people give up their dreams for something that may be far less satisfying. An example would be giving up a position as CEO for something like extra free time or un-mutual friendships. Thus leading to a much less satisfying life.
I can apply the message to my life in a few ways. One of which is to learn when and how to make sacrifices to achieve my goals. This can kind of be thought up as a game of chess as I would have to give up some pieces for a much, much larger picture. Another way I can apply this message would be to not settle for moderate or mediocre work. Instead I should dedicate more time and effort into what the tasks given to me and complete them in a much more advanced and probably phenomenal manner.
1. The difference between good and great is good is just average. Great on the other hand is more than average and has more meaning to it. I haven't considered this question I always thought they were the same.
ReplyDelete2. My highschool objective is to be beyond good or great. In order to be one of the best I have to stop procrastinating. I don't want o be just an average student average is where majority of the students are I want to be above average. It's going to take great sacrifice to get. Everything is reachable though.
I'm not okay with just mediocrity. If you reach can reach moderate quality you can reach great quality. All it takes is just that much effort to reach it. Sacrifices will have to be made to reach that. Time for change is now.
3. I can apply this to my life by not aiming for just good. That's a problem that I have. I always aim for just good today I learned good isn't good enough. aim as high as you can and you could reach any milestone. If milestones were easy everyone would reach them. From now on I'll go for as high as I can reach.
1)Watched video and took notes.
ReplyDelete2)The difference between being good and being great is good is okay and great is excellent. Yes,because I always say i'm doing good instead of saying great.
3)It's going to be one of the best because i'm maturing and I am going to get to experience a lot of new things. I will get to have different classes from the past. I will be able to get new classes in the next semester. I will get to bond with different people. That's why it will be one of the best and it's my freshman year.This year I am great not good.
4)This matters because it's talking about yearning for greatness and a lot of people yearn for greatness. Also this matters because you have to make a sacrifice to have a better life. I can apply these concepts by saying I do make sacrifices to have better grades in school. I can make it better by making even more sacrifices to chase my dreams because I want to major in registered nurse. That's how I can apply the concepts to my life and make it better.
1. Being good is on somethings we can all do. However to be great you have to be better then good which come to being the greatest. Also being good is alright but being great is better and also being or doing the best.
ReplyDelete2. My high year will defined me to be the best. I say this because I will do my best on my work and get a successful grade. However to be the best i have to be good at what I want for me in my high school year. As will as i have to give something I'm holding on to that not letting me to be great. Once i do all this i can be the best/ greatest on what I want for my high school year.
3. This matter because if someone really wants to be great in life they a least have to be good then get to the greatest. Also this apply to me because i as will need to do the same to get where i want to be and be the greatest on it. Some think that only because your good at something you are the greatest. This is always true because if your doing your best and people think is great is because your doing your greatest. But if your doing something good and other say it's good it's because you know your not trying your best to be great at it.
2.The difference between good and great is that good means your not failing.Great is saying i'm better than I have ever been.No I have not considered this question.
ReplyDelete3.I want my high school experience to be a good experience.I want to grow up and tell my kids Of what I achieved when I was in high school.My objective is to be one of the best.I want to the best I can I want to get good grades I want good grades so I can go to college.In my opinion I think mediocrity is fine because in your heart you know you are yearning for greatness.
4.This message matters to me because it can help throughout high school.I can apply this message to my life by working hard now and later live happy .It can also teach me to mature by always being on task and finishing my work.This video is telling many people to work hard it's also telling me to work hard.
2) The difference between being good and great is that you might have "good" things now but you can have greater things later. You can have something that you like now but there is actually things even better than that. Yes, I had consider this question before.
ReplyDelete3) My high school experience is going to define me as being great. I want to be the best that I can be and not let anything put me down. I'm not going to stop until I reach what I'm reaching for. I am going to shoot for greatness and I am going to reach it. Nobody can stop me from reaching what I want to reach.
4) This matters because people have to always shoot for the better. People always have to reach for more greatness. Just because you have something right now and you think that it is good you have to set your mind to get better things. You always have to shoot for improving and getting/being the best you can be.
I can apply this message to my life by reaching for the better. I can not let myself stop when I already got something "good". I have to always reach for improving and getting better. There are many opportunities for to get and I have to take advantage of it. Because if I take it and give it a try there might be even way more of a better outcome than I thought. I always have to reach for the better.

ReplyDelete2. the difference between being good and great is that good is like a attitude thats shown towards someone and your acting the way you are suppose to act everyday but like for a example a lot of people act up during a sub and like doesn't when there real teacher is there because they know how to act with a good attitude . great is a meaning of being like your ways and how you show your self as , like you would always have to use everything great if your trying to get a job but like its always good and then great , great is always the top problem .
3 . yes when you want to get a job for yourself in the life time some of the owners look for great and smart people in high school , like not everyone gets a opportunity to play games and stuff and thats why there school and colleges because it helps you to becoming a better and well person in the life of a senior . you have to always stick out of all the crowds and like try your hardest during test and homework assignments because you might not know that life may not come unless you step up .
4 . to be honest you have to try so hard to be greatness and better , like it matters to me because i have had this before because i didn't try hard on this test and like it could of help me on the test and stuff and letting me be in a higher and well smart class with higher and smarter people . but like in my words like life isn't a game to play with , just greatness will get you to success and thats all you need is hope and greatness and after that you will get whatever you wanted and needed . also it can help my life and make it better because if i would want to go to any colleges it would help a big time because jobs only except people with college ready and more experienced . greatness only comes if you have archived something or you have finished your goals in life its nothing given unless you earned it .
1. The difference between good and great is . That good is okay but being great that's even better.I have not considered this question before .
ReplyDelete2. My high school experience is gonna be both because. I want to be good at my subjects and a great student. I want to be the greatest so i can show people that i know what to do and that i am not losing no time. I also wanna show people that can do bigger and better things for my life.
My heart is yearning for greatness. I would like to do something great with my life. I wouldn't want to do something that i don't enjoy and half to deal with it everyday of my life. I will like to help people out on what there problems are and help them with struggle in life. I want to help others with their needs instead of just worrying about me.
3. This matters to my life because. It helps me think about what i really wanna do with my life . I wanna do more than just a boring job i wanna help people out with their problems and what they go thru. That's the type of job and person i would like to be. I hope i will get the chance to do that one day.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between being good and being great is that being good is one level and being great is another. Being great is better than being good. I have never thought nor consider a question like that.
3. I rather be known for being the best at what I do. I think being good at something is plain because anyone can be good at what they do. It takes time and ability to be considered best at what you do. I think being considered the best is better. It's like a whole new level.
I want greatness. I beleive being mediocre is the start of being great at what you do. Some people aren't natural born perfect people who is good at everything. It takes time to build on something and become good at it. That's why I want greatness instead of starting sdoemthing and not finishing them.
4. The message from the video matters because it can inspire others to make good choices and to prove themselves to be better. To take action and not just talk about it. Give up on things to help you grow into a better you. Be willing to do to get to that milestone. That preparartion is opportunity.
1. On paper.
ReplyDelete2. I believe that the difference between being good and being great is that being good is like being average and being great is being more then expected. The reason I thunk this is because when someone says that their day was good, it sounds like they had a day that wasn't bad and that they enjoyed. When someone says that their day was great, it sounds like their day was full of excitement. The word great has a sound that makes it stand out and makes it better then the word good.
3. For me, my objective is to make this year the best and make it memorable. I want this so when I become a senior I can look back and know the my first year of high school was fun and the best experience ever. Most of us freshmen think that just because we are in high school already we are old enough to make our own decisions but most of the time those decisions aren't the best even though we think they are. I am always going to think before I do things and make the best decisions and always make everyday better then the other.
I want my high school experience to be the best and not remember it as one of the worst years of my life. Already in high school there are some students that are not making the best decisions and they are just ruining their future without noticing it themselves. i always try to think about then consequences of my actions and what will be the result of me doing them. I don't want to mess up on anything because I know that if I do, it's is going to impact me in one way or another.
4. The video matters and I can apply it to my life to make it better because we need to move ion. We have to give to get up and make many sacrifices to get where we want to be. Sometimes it is really hard to obtain what we want but at the end, if we do it, we are going to get the results we want and we won't regret it.
1.)Well the difference between good and great is a huge difference.It means both words are a good thing but only one is the best word.When your great at something well you are a pro at it.When your good at it means you are really good is just that you need practice to get to great.
ReplyDelete2.)Well yes i really think that your good at something in high school but you need to find out.I do think i am good at things i don"t think i"m great at things because sometimes i fail.But there is something i always tell myself "Do not give up".If i give up and don"t try again ill stay stuck with the same problem and won't succeed.I will always try to be one of the best in my class but for that i need to put in allot of effort.I also need to put allot of pressure on myself so i don't get lazy.
Well my objective that i really want to be good at is Math.I would really like to be one of those students who get A's and B's on tests.My weakness that stops me from getting there is to be lazy.I always get lazy on my work and homework.I always put goals in my life that i want to succeed.And i always try to overcome my weaknesses as hard as i can and sometimes i succeed and fail.
3.)Well i can apply this message to my life because i really want to be the best at stuff.I always want to be the leader not the follower.I always like to be myself and not somebody else.I will always try my best no matter how hard it is to improve.I would like to prove everybody that i am really good at things.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between being good and great is that if you wanna be great you gotta work for it everyday and not giving up on the stuff you wanna do. But if you wanna be good only last for alittle bit.
3. My high school experience is going to be good because i have teacher that motivate me to go to college go hard in life and to work hard to get a scholarship to play college football or basketball or just good grades. My heart is aiming to be great because i dont want to be mediocrity because i wanna be great so my mom and dad can be proud of me because i did in life i went to college and got a job that pays good.
4. This matter because I want to be great in life and I want my parents to be proud of me because I went to college and I have a good job. I can apply this to my to make it better by working on the stuff i really wanna do in life and work on the things and I need to move on the things I dont want to do in life.
2) The difference between being good and great is that if you want to be great you have to work and never give up. If you want a good job never give up.
ReplyDelete3) My high school experience is going good because I have a teacher that helps me. The teacher helping me to go to a good college. It will be great to go to college. I'm putting work to get a scholarship to play college football. I'm not giving up right now.
3) This matter because I want to be great in life. I want my family proud of me what i did. I want to go to college and get a good job. I can apply this to make it better by putting my hard work. I really want to do in life and work on the things that i need to do.

1. Watched and took notes.
ReplyDelete2. The different between being Good and being Great is Good tells us to do the best as we can. Great tells us make it specific. I have considered this question before but that's all my opinion.
3. I think my high school experience is going well because they are helping the students at all. They're also teaching and leading the students to attend to college. Like I said they help the student at all including help them to get lots of scholarship when they go to college.
My objective is to make this year the best and seems like a memorable in later that when I be a senior student I can look back what I have done at the freshman year. Also, I want to do well or can say get a good grade in all my major subject like Math, English, etc. I'm always pushing myself to reach my goals to be succeed.
4. This matter to me because if I want to have a great life when I get older and I have to do something. I am doing as well as I can at my school but I have to make it better than it is now because I want to attend to a good college. You might say I think about everything so far but I am doing it to make my life easier and now is time to start. I can apply this by pushing myself to work hard. All I can do now and later is stay focus, understand, have knowledge to be succeed.
2.The difference of great and good. When your great at something well .When your good at it means you are really good is just that you need practice to get to great.
ReplyDelete3. 3.My experience in high school is to get great grades to go to a university out of state.I have to study more to go to the university. I want to be higher than my family.I want friends to help me to get to the next level.I want a school and great teacher care of me and help me.
4.This video matter to me because I know how to pass high school to go into college.I want my family to be proud of me.When I pass high school and go to college.I want a great job to feed my children and my wife and that what to do in life.
I can go to college and how to go to college..I want to make great dissension in my life.I go to make sacrifice to help me in life to be successful and go to college.I can make million more money than people that did not go to college. I know how to go to college because anyone can go to college I can go to college too.
2)The difference between good and great is that good is average.And great is beyond just average it's wonderful.And no I have not considered this question.
ReplyDelete3)My high school experience is going to be determined on me trying to be the best because of I want to be the best than I am going to work hard to be the best.Then being the best means I am going to be successful.Being the best means I am going to have a lot of things in the future.And to be the best you need to work hard for it.And that is what I am going to do.And wanting to be the best means that is your objective.And that should be my objective.
And why wouldn't people not want to be great?Because I know I know that I would like to be great.But to be great you have to be better than just good.You have to be working hard to be great.And like I said don't just be good be great.Because good is just like average.And being great is over average.And when you get there you know you successful.
4)This is important to me because I want to be great.I don't want to be good.I want to be great so I know I'm already successful.I want to be successful.But I need to work hard to get there.So now on I am going to be working hard to get there.I want to be more than just average.
I want to be more than average.Like I said I want to be great.And great is more than just good.So like I said I am going to be working hard now.I am going to be working hard in soccer,school, and anything I need to be successful.I want to do this because I want to be successful.I want to be great.
2) The difference between being good and being great is that being good is being average and being great is being a pro at it. What i mean by this is that if your average then you don't really master it but if your great then people look up to you. I have considered this question but in a different words.
ReplyDelete3) My high school experience is trying to aim to be the best. The reason i want to be the best is because I want my little bother to follow my footsteps. And also have some to look up to when he's older. My heart is telling me to be greatness. I say this because I don't want to be an average student and not get accepted to any colleges.
I want to be a greatness to show my capabilities. What I mean by this is prove that i'm worthy of putting in the hard work. I don't want to be mediocrity, because that would be like every student in leuzinger very average. What I mean by this is not trying to be like everyone else. I want to be unique and stand out from everyone else.
4) You can apply this to your life by using the examples of how to be great. And these examples would lead you to victory. You can also apply this by not giving up. What i mean by this is it will be hard to complete but it will be worth it. Lastly the decisions you make will affect your future.
1) Done
ReplyDelete2) The difference between being good and being great, I think is the work you put in. And the effort that goes into being good or being great.
3) I think it's going to be defined by how good I am. Because my grades are going to show how I am doing in school. For example if my grades are looking bad it's going to show how bad i'm doing and how i'm not doing work. I don't have a problem with mediocrity because some people just want to do good in school and that's it. There not expecting to be a straight 4.0 student and all this other stuff they are okay with being average.
4) This matters because sometimes you have to lose some to gain some. You cant want to be a lawyer or something and stick to your normal schedule. You're going to have to lose sleep, Friends etc. I can apply this in my life or in my dream job. I can't do the same this everyday and say “I want to be rich I want this I Want that”. I have to get out there and see what I can do to make this possible. And make my dreams come true if all this is successful it will make it better.

1. The difference between being good and being great is one thing better than the other. To be good is to be able to accomplish what your dream is. To be great is to accomplish what your dream is and to keep going for more. I have never considered this question but i will look into it.
ReplyDelete2. In high school i am planning to do great. I want to be the best i can so that i wont get bad grades and not be able to complete my goals that i have planned for my future. I want to make sure i don't fail and i keep trying because being good is not enough. When i think about being great I think of being better than good. My mom tells me a quote that i remember from memory," Good, better, best. Don't let it rest. Until the good is better, and the better is the best.".
My heart is yearning for greatness because i want to be a good student and person in and out of school. When i think about being great, i think that its a big deal because not a lot of people keep trying and actually do great things in their life. Being great is an amazing thing to be able to do and have and when you have greatness you can be a good person in life. Everyone can be great they just sometimes give up to soon and that's what makes them go behind from other people. When they get greatness they are, most of the time, successful.
3. This quote matters because its important and its very good to keep in mind and think about. This is pretty important because when you don't see greatness you wont be great. The things you do are determined by the things that are great in your life and how the things that aren't great can become great. My heart is yearning for greatness because i want to become a good person to my community and to my future obstacles in life. People say that the kids and teens are the next generation and they are in our hands. That's true but it also means that we are the doctors that will take care of them and the mechanics and the people whom help them.
4. This matters because if your not great then who will be. We can help the people in our communities to make the world a less corrupt, non-racist place. All these elections and hatred aren't good for our country and we need to work together to make it a better place to live in. I can apply this to my life to make it better by making sure i try to be a great person with school and my studies in college and in my society. I can try to strive for greatness and achieve to work together to make my life, and others, better.
