'Map Quest for School Success'By: Dr. Lydia Patton
As you embark upon your educational voyage, use “Map Quest for School Success”. Good luck and May God continue to bless you on your journey toward excellence in education.

Opportunity Opportunity is the combination of circumstances favorable for good purpose. Opportunity allows you the right to become well educated. “You must be hungry to eat from the table of opportunity”, you will not be invited just because, and you must be well prepared to get an invitation. Determination Determination is having firm intentions; firmness of purpose. You must be determined, so that absolutely nothing keeps you from achieving your dreams, goals and aspirations. Be determined to succeed in everything you pursue.

Discipline Discipline means having training that develops self-control character and orderly conduct. A disciplined student sets goals and works tirelessly to achieve success. You know what it means to be a good student, and you work toward achieving success in all of your endeavors.

Commitment Commitment means to pledge; bind to that which you believe. You must commit to achieve your goals. Regardless of how challenging the road may become; how much work it takes; or how many social gatherings you will miss; you are committed to excelling in education.

Love of GOD Without God you would not exist. Without HIM there is definitely no YOU. Walk always with a prayerful heart, giving thanks for all He has and continue to do for you. Always have love and respect for yourself and others. Remember, always the people who are not as fortunate, and make a commitment to lend a helping hand.

Excellence Excellence is the condition of excelling. Whatever you do, do it so well there is no one living, or no one who lived before you, who could have done it any better than you. Be the very best at whatever you do.
