Student Success Statement

"Character is higher than intellect."
Ralph waldo Emerson

I agree with this statement because your character defines it all. For example you may be the smartest kid at school but if you choose to be mean to others, that is not very nice. Another example may be the people who want to become someone in life but can;t because they need to work and have a job to help out in the family they have a strong character and want to achieve their goals. 

Student Success Statement

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I agree with this statement because there may be all this things good and bad that surround you but in reality either you have goodness or badness within you. It is all about the choices you make for your life and how you are willing to take them.
