Student success is a controversial issue. Every individual has different ideals for success. Student success depends on four important attributes, knowing what success means to you beyond effort, teamwork, and competition. In most cases these ideals do not fit the paradigm of student success that a school needs. Students' idea of ​​success is if they get a passing grade. Most of the time they wouldn't even do a task if it wasn't graded. But school, let alone the education of others, should not focus on grades but rather on the sole purpose of life lessons learned from the subjects taught. Your success is what you learn beyond the subject. Therefore, student success is a difficult topic. Albert Einstein was a high school dropout, but he changed the world with his own hands. Bill Gates was a college dropout who became one of the richest people in the world. These are some of the people who did not consider academic success important, but saw the need for individual success that they wanted to fulfill for themselves and no one else. Malcolm He also learned dictionary words by writing each word and the corresponding definition for each letter on his tablet. With his dedication to personal success he shows that the students are more responsible for their success because Malcolm X had no experience of school education beyond middle school. He asks us: “Where else but in prison could I have attacked my ignorance by being able to study intensely sometimes up to fifteen hours a day? (X 282)” He has not been destroyed by prison, he has become an avid reader and speaker and feels a certain sense of gratitude for having been put there. It is almost inspiring how people do not lose their individual pursuit towards perfection even in the harshest conditions and incarceration. Having the ability to educate Motivation can easily be misunderstood by the desire to graduate and not finding one's strengths and weaknesses during school. When a student doesn't understand a lesson, most say I'll look it up later or that it won't affect me on the test. But in reality each fact helps in the overall understanding and purpose of the lessons. Some people don't like high school or lower grades because they are taught subjects that don't interest them. They also think that if no one, not even the teacher, is committed to making sure they succeed, they shouldn't either. Due to the inactivity of students and teachers, students even isolate themselves so as not to have to interact with their classmates and teachers. They think isolation is better than having to participate because they don't need assistance to fail. In the essay “I Just Wanna Be Average” by Mike Rose, he talks about the time spent “placed in the career path, a euphemism for the lowest level [in school]. (346)” Many classmates, including himself, did not like the lessons taught. The teachers were just as disinterested as the students in his class. Success can still be achieved even at the lowest level of teaching because it is up to the student to do all the homework and be curious. Without being inert and active, success will be achieved
