Over the years, there has been a multiple of themes and variations of graphic elements in the past St. Edmund Campion yearbooks.

“Success” is a term that is a part of our daily life. It can be defined in a variety of ways, such as achievements, awards, and college degrees.

But in the world that we live in today, there is not a set definition of success to go by. Only you as a person can give the meaning of success.

How do you demonstrate success in your life? Well if you are wondering, my success occurs in many forms and has many meanings. It includes being happy with myself and being where I want to be in life. My success also typically means finishing something that I have worked hard at. Right now, I feel great for the accomplishment of my academic success in this Summer Term-A 2016 at Miami Dade College.

Senior year! Every senior is eager for graduation, their making college decisions, taking their SAT tests, getting senior portraits, and looking forward to getting ready for graduation day. Thinking back now, almost every adult told me my high school years would fly by, they were right.

What is success? Is it the process of doing a task and receiving a positive result acceptable amongst the community, or is it simply achieving ones own personal goals? Success to me can mean many things. Although I am successful in school, that does not necessarily mean I will lead a successful life.

What do think when you hear student success? Many people think different things. For example, student success could be a student having a good job in something they specialized on, and are living on their own without anybody's help.
