Student Success Statement

''The most important thing you will ever have is good values.'' - Dennis Prager

I agree with what this quote is saying only partially. I do not know if good values are the top thing to live by. Of course they matter when it comes to being a good person. Although I believe there are other things to value in life as well. I would not rank things in number, simply by mental check. People will value whatever they believe is best for them. Only in an alternate world would everyone value things on an equal level. In reality everyone will never be equal in thought. For example, some people may value their loved ones or career as the most important thing in their life. Once agiain, these are simply beliefs, and unfortunatley not everyone will view their life the same.

''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...
