Student Success Statement

“Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating  the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who on a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation.” By- Theodore Roosevelt

   This quote is trying to tell us that if we educate ourselves then we will be good later on. We have a good character because that is what counts. For example, if we have everything we ask for and have a bad attitude all of those things can change. Not only do we have to have a good mind and body but our character and the person we want to be top all of that. There are some circumstances where people don’t realize there character is what they need change so they may look perfect and think the have it all but the character is what makes us look good. We have to grow up and be stronger, intelligent, but overall wise. It may take long sometimes to change what we have to but that doesn’t mean we give up. We can become as great as we want but we have to educate the body, mind, and overall character. In my perspective I believe that when he says the nation it is the path we are going to take when we have successfully finishes the education we received. If we don’t have a good character then we won’t be able to decide our own destiny.

       Shall Be Wise

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise : but a companion of fools shall be destroyed

This quote is trying to tell us that if we hang out with the wrong people then we will turn out just like them. If we choose the right set of friends then we will turn out  just like them and be successful. When we choose the right set of friends we will know because we will feel good about choosing them as friends. For example when we choose the bad set of friends we will notice the difference because they will make us do things we don’t want to do.  When we hang out with the right people we will be wise and we learn from them as much as they learn from us. When we hang out with fools then we will end up at being fools because we see it as a good way but in reality it isn’t. For example: One of my closest friends use to hang out with fools she was such a good student but then she stopped caring about school. Eventually her grades went down she didn’t know why. But she made the dumbest decision hanging out with fools like that. If we make sure that the people we are hanging out with are wise then we will be wise too. Even if at the beginning we were rude, disrespectful and bad then if we choose the wise friends they can teach us how to be wise and we can be able to learn to be just like them.
