Student Success Statement

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

-John F. Kennedy

            John F. Kennedy is saying that in order to be the best you that you can be, you must also be physically well. You can’t be the smartest person in the world and extremely overweight. You have to be fit, then, you will reach higher and higher. The Greeks also knew that in order to reach you intellectual limit, you must also reach your physical limit. Be smart, and also be healthy.
