Character

Student success statement

“Character is higher than intellect”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

What does quote is trying to say is that who you are as a person matters the most. Being smart does matter, having manners matter but you must be a good person inside as well, meaning you have a good personality. Your character defines who we are as well as how we are. Our actions show others how we are. We always have a chance to give a first impression. We must try to give a good impression from the beginning. Giving a first impression doesn’t mean you have to dress to impress. What matters is what you say, how you act, and what you do and how you say or do stuff. You must never allow someone to bring you down. It is better to have both a good character and be very smart. You must try hard to get these but remember to always be yourself and don’t let anyone change who you are as a person.At the end the only thing that matters is who you were as a person. So choose the right.
