Student Success Statement-

Quote: “ Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country,the greatest is that of educating the BODY,the MIND,and above all the CHARACTER,giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation” - Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: This quote means that even after all the things that are done by each and everyone in this country we should always remember to educate not only ourselves but as well as all the others . Even though all we’ve done is fought we can be a better nation as one whole if we were to use our body,mind and character when making a action in this world. It is really important to educate our body,mind and our character so that we make positive actions. Even at our toughest wars we should learn that not everyone will always win, in a battle there will always be the loosing side but no matter the situation both sides still gave their effort . It is  important for the young adults to know that education will always be the key to mostly everything in their life . We should teach one another to teach ourselves the good from bad for example when a person does something wrong the others will always follow so it is best to do something good so that when others follow it becomes a chain of only good things. If this country were to only focus on educating the body,mind, and character we would be a better and way more successful country. Adults should set a good example for the young adults to create a more successful life for those teens who will themselves be adults. If adults set good examples it’ll benefit not only the country but the young adults so they are aware. It is important so they are prepared for their life in their future. In this country we should work together to make a better educated country with only good people.
