Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement - 2/8/18

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." - George Washington

I agree with this quote because it is something all of us need to learn and i have experienced things that have convinced me that this quote is true. Several times my mom has told me this quote, but in different words. She has told me that it is best to not have friends because sometimes it is for a reason. Now that I think back maybe the reason why i didn't have many friends at the time that she told me this was due to this quote. I think i did not have many friends throughout middle school because they'd be a distraction towards what i was going to school for, an education. Also when people have friends that don't make a positive influence on them they tend to get into more trouble which can follow them throughout their whole life. I agree with this quote because sometimes many people don't realize how their friends affect them. It is important that everyone knows this quote and that it helps them think about what kind of life they are leading and how their friends are contributing to that.
