My version of success is the ability to fully devote yourself to your desired goal while bravely dealing with obstacles as they come throughout life, in order to create stronger communities of people to further motivate others in need.  This cycle of encouragement then lessens the reach of cyber bullying as a result by teaching the world the importance of recognizing and respecting the hard work of others.

My plan is to attempt to decrease the spread of cyber bullying that is so commonly found within our technological era. Countless individuals are under constant pressure of others who enjoy to manipulate and torture others behind the safety of a screen. I will achieve success by encouraging and supporting those around me, while also avoiding and discouraging any acts that could lead to cyber bullying. Through my short term and long term goals, this success will be achieved and help make the world at least a little better.

- One short term goal I can try to reduce cyber bullying is to compliment at least five people each day.  By giving out genuine compliments, this could teach people to appreciate their good qualities as well as help them feel better about themselves.  Hopefully they can begin to give compliments to others once afterwards.

- Another short term goal of mine to achieve this success would be to try and solve any altercations I come across if I am invited to do so.  This goal can permit me to mediate fights that break out in person, rather than for it to transfer online instead. I would not ignore or turn away from solving a problem between people who should not have to ruin their relationship if it can be helped

- One long term goal to decrease cyber bullying could be to create an online website or social media account that gives information about ways to avoid being a victim of cyber bullying, signs of being cyber bullied, and even as an outlet to express your concerns. This online space would be a shelter to those who are sadly affected to seek help, and additionally act as an educational tool to learn about the dangers of cyber bullying in general.

- One more long term goal I could work towards in order to help solve the issue of cyber bullying could be to develop a more positive mindset. In a situation where I am thinking negatively, I am both leaving myself more vulnerable to being cyber bullied and others around me who might also be discouraged by my negativity. A negative mindset would now leave me and others around me possibly as an easy target to get bullied online. However by developing a new mindset to think differently, my positive perspective will let me appreciate everything in my life and not be hurt by insults I may receive online. A positive mindset helps me see the truth for what it is, not giving into lies that online bullies will say to put me down.

When creating my personal success statement, I wanted to create something that centered around a world issue that I felt needed much improvement, to which I decided to focus on cyber bullying. As the technological age begins to arrive faster and faster with each day, countless possibilities of danger increase online. I believe that technology can just as easily become our worst enemy for growing generations as it makes our lives easier in other ways.   I arrived at this conclusion by inspiration of the many role models being presented to our class, and found it greatly inspiration to how each model achieved their goals despite being complete opposites at times.

Another way to connect my personal success statement to a role model is through Caitlyn's project based on Jessica Long, the Paralympian. To have mental obstacles that limit you from achieving success is one thing, however have a physical obstacle that is stuck with you your entire life, such as missing legs, is a whole different kind of barrier to try and overcome. Jessica Long's story inspired me as she pushed aside the fact that she does not have legs, and got over this "disadvantage" in life to achieve success. I believe Jessica's journey is a perfect example of overcoming obstacles in life without getting discouraged, where she was set on continuing to swim even without a large component to the sport, your legs.

One more resource that can connect to my personal success statement is Quin's role model, Travis Manion. His bravery and determination helped build the Travis Manion Foundation that is still active today in helping honor the dead.  Due to Travis' success as a  Marine for the United States, an entire foundation has been created in his name, which is now used as a support system for others to honor their loved ones as well.  Travis Manion helped create an amazing community of support even if he is not here with us anymore, just as him and his fellow Marines would most likely help one another when on the job.  He stands as a symbol of strength by displaying his form of success through a valued support system.

One resource that connects to my personal success statement is Carol Dwek's TED Talk, "Developing a Growth Mindset". During this speech, Carol explained the differences between those with a growth or fixed mindset, and how each viewed challenges that faced them. After learning about people who developed a growth mindset, who learned from their mistakes and continued with other challenges instead of giving up or beginning to cheat, I greatly admired this perspective to live life with. Having a growth mindset relates to my personal success statement because it demonstrates the power of how many are able to overcome their obstacles in life and to embrace failure as it comes and goes. A growth mindset can only benefit you from coming up with new and creative solutions to continue on your path to your achievement.
