Student Success Statement: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Student Success Statement

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:  Well Mr. Emerson is right that you need to have good character but you need to be smart. You need to try to be at least, you need to have good grades and what not. Be intelligent in what you do because even if you don’t have a lot of brains you can still become someone. Just remember to take your intelligence into consideration of being a good person to make good choices.

Student Success Statement

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: All Mr. Emerson is trying to say is that when you lie to yourself it is the worst thing you can do. If you are someone who is insecure and doubts themselves you lying about something else means nothing. You are lying to yourself, you need to have confidence in what you do and be sure about it. You need to become someone people are proud of, yes everyone makes mistakes and lies but when you lie to yourself you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy to do nothing in your life. Don’t lie to yourself.
