STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

''Character is higher than intellect.'' - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am not sure if I fully agree nor disagree. Of course intellect is highly essential, so are morals. I believe in different situatons that the two are of equal importance. If not, then it is simply a matter of opinion. It is up to you to decide which trait is of most importance. In the end it might vary on the person. Although as I stated before, both are very much needed within everyone. For example, you may hold a high intellectual count, but may now know what is right or wrong. Or on the contrary, you may be high in morals but may not be an intellectual. It is important to hold an even balance of the two.

''The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.'' - Dr. Laura Shlessinger This quote is true. Usually when doing something that is right you never really get a physical reward. The satisfaction is internal since you yourself commited the act. At times there might not be any witnesses. Physical recognition comes for other reasons. When you acknowledge those factors, right truly will feel like a phenomenon. The feeling you get when doing right is like no other. That is the only feeling apart from all others. That sense of well being will not be caused by any thing else. Reward over moral is a great prize.

While it mat be true that poverty can eventually be overcome, many out there do work hard and give it their all at what they do yet they still do not escape. There are two ways to work hard at something. Sometimes you get what you want, other times things remain the same. This quote can not always be held true. There is a key element that breaks this from being true, education. You can work hard all you want but not go far because of lack of an education. Without education your efforts will mean nothing. Education can be in many forms. Education is the real key to success, without it efforts will not do much good. At times poverty is not a choice, lack of education will forever hold a family down. While some may be lucky to mov...
