Student Success Statement

“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Reflection:

What Mr.King meant by this quote is that you can’t get as far in life without having both intelligence and a good character. For example you can get a job a well paying job because you're smart but can also get fired for lacking character. Another example is if you want to apply for a good school, it doesn’t matter how good your character is you will not be able to get in because you are lacking the intelligence. On the other hand you can succeed high in life by having both a good character and having intelligence. You do not have to be born with a great character or a high intelligence because both are things that you can develop and improve. Some ways you can improve your character is picking up after yourself, having good manners, and overall CTR. On the other hand ways you can improve your intelligence are studying, reviewing things you have already learned, and bringing yourself to challenge yourself at new material. The key to success is having both a great character and intelligence. To insure you have a great character you can CTR. Having both will bring you great opportunities.
