Valediaory SELF DISCIPLINE Discipline is defined in the dictionary as the training of the mind or character; therefore self discipline could be defined as one ' s own train- ing of his mind or character. In most cases all through our grade school career we were told just what to do by our teachers. When we were graduated into high school we were given more freedom by being given in general the privilege of choosing for ourselves what subjects to study. Now that we are almost through that stage, we wonder how it will be when we have to make our own decisions and act accordingly. During our high school career, many of us have had a chance to practice self discipline. During the basketball and baseball seasons the boys who participated were asked to train. This meant getting in at an early hour at least during the school week, and refraining from smoking and drinking. This training received, both in playing the game and ob- serving the training rules, will serve the players well in later years. The people who play musical instruments must practice for long hours to become accomplished musicians. This takes self discipline be- cause there are many temptations which would entice some students away from their practice. A fine example of the practice of self discipline in the field of science would be Madam Curie. She and her husband worked for years over tons and tons of pitchblende looking for a mineral, the principal properties of which they knew but they had not been able to extract this mineral. Finally, after countless failures, and with the use of the crudest equipmnt, the radium was extracted. New uses of radium are still being discovered. An example of how self discipline helped to overcome physical han- dicaps would be Glenn Cunningham. After being burned very badly in a school house fire, he was told by his doctor that he would never walk again. Vowing that he would, Glenn did all kinds of exercises until he not only walked but also became one of the best long distance runners in the world. The reason Glenn Cunningham, Madam Curie, and many others accomplished what they did is that self discipline had become second nature to them. This so called self discipline doesn ' t come to a person every time the occasion calls for it but it must be built up over the years. First one must learn to overcome the smaller problems or obstacles and gradually work up to larger ones. As far as we, the high school stu - dents are concerned, right now is when we should be developing our self discipline. Wherever a person goes, whatever he does after he gets out of high Pa e Twenty
