Student Success Statement

“ It is not what you desire but what you need”

By: Daniela Cruz

This quote means that it is not always suppose to be what you want you’re never going to always have everything go your own way but sometimes it is what you need. Sometimes we want things that we know we arent suppose to do or get. For example when we want things so badly sometimes we don’t see the cons to having what we want. For example we want only what we want but we don’t really see what we need in life to make us a better person. For example when my mom asks me how it went on karate practice i tell her that i don’t like to take karate she tells me it is something that i will need later on in case of an emergency. I thought to myself it is not something i like to do but it’s something i have to do because it is for my own safety. At that moment i thought to myself i may not like it but it is a skill that i will need later on in the future. Sometimes we have to do the things we don’t like because it benefits us in many ways. The only way we can do it correctly and see that we don’t really need the things that we like because sometimes there  are useless at times. Another example would be for all the kids that don’t like school. They come up with every excuse because it simply just doesn’t go with them but what they don’t realize is that’s there key to success because we are doing the things we dont like in order to use it sometime later on when we grow up. We are so focused on the things we desire and what so badly but what we don’t see is that there useless because the things we desire we only like them for like a while and then we stop so it really did benefit us. Afterwards we do things we don’t like we go back and say im glad i did what i didn’t like because now it benefits me.
