Student Success Statement

" What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

-Albert Einstein

I think that this a true statement because as we seen in the two videos showed in class today we seen one act of kindness that an older man was doing that people don't often hear of then we see a video of something that is very popular across the world that isn't very good to do. Not only isn't it good but it has bad effects on your body and health. This man in the first video would go to the park once every week and give back to those who couldn't afford hair cuts. This is very important because you don't hear things like this too often and the man was doing it out of kindness with no money in return. The payment was a hug and making someone else feel important. However, in the second video we seen it was a very common thing many people young kids and adults do for fun. Drinking. Drinking is very popular around the world. Not only is it popular but many people do it not knowing how drinking alcohol can damage your body. Drinking alcohol is very common but it isn't something young kids and adults should do.So with this being said what's right isn't always popular. And what's popular isn't always right.

Student Success Statement

"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that. It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change that." - D. Ben Carson

I agree with this statement 100% it all depends on what path you start with and weather or not you choose to stay on the path you are on or merge onto another. Education is the latch key to success. If you want to be successful you have to work for it. It all depends on if you are willing to cross any road to do what it takes. Hard works takes dedication, effort, and time. Ben Carson had grew up in huge poverty. He took time to learn and become successful.
