Character

Student Success Statement 

"Character is higher than intellect."

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

This statement means that character is better than anything else. It doesn't matter if you are the greatest basketball player on the time. If you do not know how to act the correct way then you wont get chosen to go to your dream team to play in. The way you act is what matters most to people. No if you can play ball. It all depends how you act off and on the court. If i would ever have to recruit a basketball player or anyone else I would want someone that has a good character. I would look at the character and how well they play. They will need to have both to be on my time. 

"Character matters Most."

Dale Murphy 

This statements means that your actions don't matter. It is how you do it. For example you can be the smartest person in the class but have a messed up attitude. Then your test scores really are not going to matter because you do not have the best attitude. Your character determines where you are going to go . Your character can lead you to have a good career or it can lead you to jail. It is they way you do things that can get you into trouble. You can change your life in a blink of an eye if you don't act right. Choosing the right is the best way to live life. Your character determines everything for you.
