             Student Success Statement 
"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself." 
                           -Henry Ward Beecher
I think this quote is saying that you need to have a higher standard in yourself to achieve more than what you have. For an example if i wanna pass a test for example math and i fail i didn't try my best at all but if  you try a little harder you might get a better grade next time.
