Success Success to each person takes on a dif- ferent and special meaning. The degree to which someone succeeds cannot possi- bly be measured. Success lies within each individual. Success in high school could mean making the all school play or it could be as simple as making it to your first period class on time. Each day we experience some type of achievement, no matter how trivial. We all set certain goals for ourselves during our life. Whether or not we achieve these goals, depends on the amount of effort we put forth. Success does not come free, we must have the desire and determination in order to achieve. Even if we do not accomplish our intended goal, the final product is not necessarily failure. Set backs, which occur on the way to success, should be taken at face value and used as encouragement to pull forward. A quote by Booker T. Washington may explain this idea. He said, I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Probably the ultimate achievement high school students look forward to. is the diploma each receives on graduation night. In the eyes of society, this is the first step on the ladder leading to success. Col- lege follows and finally a stable job with a substantial amount of income. Society often relates success with the ability to acquire a large amount of material Happiness is peihaps Ihe most satisfying type of success one can obtain. possessions. A graduate of Lincoln High. Ted Gun- derson. FBI special agent in Los Angeles, feels we must always strive for perfection. He said. Success takes dedication, edu- cation and most importantly a good solid background. He said we should never pass up an opportunity to learn. State Senator Shirley Marsh, another LHS graduate, feels success depends upon the ”3 E's. These are education, enthusiasm and endurance. She said, Without endurance we often stop short of our goal. No matter what goals we set in life or how many of them we achieve, we must always have confidence. The faith we have in ourselves could be the clinching factor in our destiny to success. Job well done5
