"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

-Henry David Thoreau

       What this quote means to me is that goodness is an investment that will never fail you. If you return a wallet you found or keys that won't ever fail you. Doing good deeds is always a good investment because it doesn't make you less happy and it makes someone else happy. Opening a door for other people is a good thing to do and it wont effect you.

Student Success Statement #53

"Character is higher than intellect."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

       What this quote means to me is that character is higher than intellect. As in that character is more important than intellect. If you wanna make the basketball team but you have bad character, you wont make it. There's more to it than just having smarts. If you have good grades and good character though, you will be able to make the basketball team. If you have good character, things will be easier. You can get along with your teachers and get better grades.

Student Success Statement #52

"I trust that my hard work will pay off."

-Tyler Haws

What this quote means to me is that hard work can get you anything. Hard work is what makes the difference between passing or failing a test. Hard work makes the difference of even passing or failing a class. Hard work pays off in the end just like Tyler Haws said. Living by this rule is what made him a good person. Without hard work you will get to very few places. If Tyler hadn't worked hard he wouldn't have gotten to where he is now.  If you work hard good things will come to you.
