Student Success Statement

 “Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it”

-William Penn

I think that this quote means that you have to be fully committed to doing the right thing.  We shouldn’t be afraid if going against what is wrong. Majority doesn’t rule if you try hard enough. You can start the beginning of a united movement for great causes. An individual has so much power than can gain noteworthy attention. Attention that will lead others to follow the path of courageousness and what is great.

Student Success Statement

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

-Anon

I think that the ego and pride of the human spirit makes us underestimate the power of peer pressure. As strong as our will is we are almost always inclined to fit in and be well liked.  Constant need of approval from people who we consider superior fills us with hope that one day we can be at the same level and go promptly beyond them. We want to surpass their status in a social level and that’s why we sometimes associate ourselves with negative company. They will influence us in a non-productive way. I rather be alone than to surround myself with people who want to sway me to be involved in illegal activities. Sometimes we need time to ourselves to self-meditate about our choices.

“Only I can change my lifer. No one can do it for me.”

-Carol Burnett

I am who I am. I am the driver in the highway of life. I have choices. I know what is right and what is wrong. I have control. No one else does. I take actions that have consequences. I believe that I have power within myself to be who I want to be. This is MY life. In the end, the only think certain is that the decisions I make will in turn create new beginnings. Whether they are the ones I had in mind is up to me. My mom might want me to be a housewife or something of a sort, but I shall aspire to be more. I shall aspire to be independent and self-sufficient. That life isn’t enough for me so I’ll work as hard as I can to get what I want the right way.
