Student Success Statement

"Do what you want and what is right for you because in the end you only have yourself."

- Marisela Gonzalez

This quote to me, means to do what you want and go into the career YOU want. The only person you need to satisfy is yourself because you will have to live that life for the rest of your life. This quote does not only apply to careers. It also goes for the people you choose to hang out with. Although i said do what you want you also have to look after yourself. The only person that will only ever know you for who you truly are is yourself so you have to take care of yourself, enjoy yourself, and be responsible for everything that you do. Life is hard and it is especially hard when you have people putting pressure on you. Highschool, for example, is a time where everyone is going to feel stressed. You need to make sure you do what is best for you and if you need a break you take that break because mental health is as important as physical health.
