“Education is a marathon—not a sprint.”
Anonymous

Your education is a long, but worthy figurative marathon because you need to maintain a consistent pace whereas in a sprint you do not because you have used up all of your energy sprinting at your top speed. For example, say a student has been receiving inadequate grades all year and now to raise his grades has to do a lot of extra credit assignments which will tire him therefore leading him to slow down again and not exert the amount of effort he should. If someone maintains the consistent pace then they will be able to succeed in their education because they will sustain enough energy to traverse through their objectives. I myself am a cross country runner and keeping a consistent pace allows me to sustain enough energy to traverse through my objectives while still sustaining enough to sprint when I can, but many sprint form the beginning then slow down then vigorously speed up then drastically decline in speed not exerting the require amount of effort.

"Improvement begins with I."

ANON

This is an amazing quote by this anonymous author. Improvement is something that we all strive and aspire to achieve, but do not realize that imprvement consists of improving ourselves. We try to improve many aspects of our daily lives such as arriving to school earlier, managing your weight, reaching your push up goal and so on. Even though we want to improve ourselves sometimes we require assistence, but others take advantage of this and do not improve because they did not try at all. To improve you need to take action because improvement does not manifest itself. I try to improve everyday because I belive that no one can perfect something they will always need to improve even on the most miniscule details. I try to improve on my push ups and when I started I could only perform 5, but through effort now I can perform 32 push ups, but am I excellent at push ups? No I am not because there is always room for improvement and improvement most definetly begins with I.
