Ralph Waldo Emerson

Student Success Statement

“Character is higher than intellect”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: I think this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson means that character shows what kind of person you are. If you’re a smart person and you’re a good person you’ll get along with mostly anyone, but if you’re just acting smart and always trying to be rude no one will like you. It won’t matter if you’re smarter than other people because they’ll know that your personality is dry and dull.

any topic: School

Any Topic: School

Well this semester has been so busy for me because so many projects have been coming up and I have to keep track on what’s due so I could pick up my grade. Also I’ve been dealing what some personal problems at school that I just don’t have time for right now. My emotions are all mixed up right now sometimes I just feel like not going to school and live somewhere far and start new/ fresh and meeting new people, but I know that I can’t because I have to be going to school to get a good career and so I can help my family around. Also in some of my classes it is very difficult to do the work because they either teach fast or I just can’t understand them, even though I ask for help it’s not enough because they still teach me in the same way. School is mostly taking over my life and priorities; we never have time to do anything for ourselves because of homework’s, assignments, projects, or late work we have to be doing. All I know is that I have to stay in school because that’s the law I guess. This sometimes gets me stressed so much because I feel like I’m never going to get it done or my work isn’t going to be the way the teacher wants its and I’m going to have to redo it and it was all that time gone to waste. Furthermore the school is small and you have nowhere to go to.  Also there are some people I don’t like and they just irritate me because of their actions.
