Student Success Statement

“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

I agree with Dr. Carson because poverty is a choice and you have the ability to change that but committing to yourself that hard work is the correct way to change anything, if you devote yourself to something it pays off tremendously.

“You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.”

Thomas S. Monson

I agree with Thomas because what he saying is true because you can’t be doing right by doing wrong and doing wrong by doing right, it just makes no sense. The only way to do what is right is to do right and avoid from doing wrong.
