        Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”-Matt Biondi

What an amazing statement which provides insight into the wonders of character and the effects your personality can have upon your life.  Persistence is a truly magnificent quality within a human being, which stimulates achievement, but what is Persistence? Persistence is the quality in which an individual proceeds to challenge adversity in order to complete his or her goals. I am a person with numerous goals, who has persisted in order to achieve goals which I had set in the past. One of my goals was to run a mile in under six minutes, I trained every day, I am rather impatient, and so I wanted to improve instantly. I trained for weeks until I was able to run my mile in 5 minutes and 58 seconds. This experience also allowed me to view the importance associated with patience as well as persistence.

What is intelligence?

                                   What is Intelligence?

Intelligence is often perceived as the ability to remember facts. I perceive intelligence as the ability to remember facts, understand what your remember, and be able to apply what you have learned. Professionals divide intelligence into five categories which are known as Logic, Abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, learning, emotional knowledge, retaining, planning, and problem solving. Intelligence through my perception is an aspect of my life which i greatly appreciate, i appreciate that i am able to process and interpret the world around, and i hope i am able to do so for the rest of my life.

Triathlons

                                          Triathlons

There are several aspects associated with a triathlon that intrigue me, these include the sporting events themselves. A triathlon is a competition which involves swimming, running, and bicycling. The first modern triathlon in the united states was held on September 25th, 1974 in Mission Bay, San Diego, California. The Standard triathlon distance is swimming 1.5 km or .93 miles, Bicycling 90 km or 60 miles, and running 10 km or 6.2 miles. The longest triathlon is known as the "Iron-Man triathlon." The iron-man Triathlon was first held in Hawaii on February 18, 1978. The Iron-Man triathlon involves swimming 2.4 miles, bicycling 112 miles, and running 26.219 miles. I am interested in participating within a triathlon due to the fact that the event is amazing and i am a fanatic of endurance sports.
