Student Success Statement

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.” This is a quote once said by Arnold H. Glasgow. This statement is trying to inform us that you won’t know how far you need to go if you don’t know where to stop. In football if someone is trying to score a point, they won’t know where they need to make it because there is no goalpost. They won’t know how far it is they need to go. Therefore they’ll keep running and running. For instance, let’s say you have a test and you keep answering questions but you don’t know where to stop because the teacher doesn’t tell you and you just keep going and going. You don’t know where to stop. I agree with Arnold Glasgow. I also found it interesting and I like how he put the words into perspective. He really knew how to change the words yet have the same meaning. I think that it really helps people understand more what he is trying to emphasize.
