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."

- President John F. Kennedy

Reflection: I think what Kennedy means by this quote is that if one has a healthy, strong body, then one has the intelligence capacity of all oneself can have. A healthy body will not distract you from your goals and it will not interfere with your thinking.Unlike having an unhealthy body that will distract you from your goals because you have to focus on your body more than your work. Having a healthy body will keep you sharp and help reach your maximum creativity and intellect level.
