Our Leader Board is Filling Up!

Each student in Learning 4Life Success knows it is a class requirement to complete their Rubik's Cube by the end of the year.

Some have been working on it since autumn. Some have just recently gotten energized about tackling the challenge.

Our Leader Board lists the following as completing the Cube SO FAR!!

  • Maza O.
  • Itancan C.
  • Avory R.
  • Isaiah H.
  • Glendean D.
  • Robert L.
  • Sister Patrice
Congratulations to all! 
And keep up the excellent effort to all who are working on it!! Your name will be here soon!!!!

Sister Patrice keeps saying that solving a challenge like this is "just like adult life."
  • It takes a lot of effort but you CAN be successful.
  • You can ask your friends and family for help, but they can't do it for you.
  • You can find advice and hints online, in videos, and in books, but you have to be willing to try them.
  • You have to try, then mess up, then try again, then mess up again, then try again... until finally you figure it out.
  • You need to grow a lot of patience and persistence. 
  • Sometimes you have to tell yourself to keep on going even when it is hard.
  • It often seems easier when someone else is doing it.
  • Getting all mad and angry and slamming things around doesn't solve the cube. It's still there when you're done.
  • A half-way effort doesn't solve the problem. You need to do the whole thing.
  • It sometimes feels really unfair that others do it so easily.
  • It can be fun, but it can also be stressful.
  • You sure feel good when you are finally successful...and then, for some weird reason, you want to keep right on going and take on the challenge again!
