Student Success Statement
''Character is higher than intellect.''
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What Ralph Waldo Emerson is saying is that character is key. Everything you do involves character. An example of having good character is if you're helping a elder cross the street. That's showing good character because you're helping someone and you're being caring. You're taking some time away to help someone and do good. An example of having bad character is when the teacher calls on you to do a problem and you respond back with attitude saying no and how you didn't even raise your hand. This example that I will say is an example of having good character and knowing your intelligent. Lets say that you're a good person as if you do all your homework, you help the environment after school, and you're good at playing basketball. Then there's this other kid who does bad in school, never listens, but is also better at basketball. The coaches will most likely pick the person with better attitude because in order to be in a sport you one need to be good at it and two you need to have good character. So doing good is whats best for everyone.
