Student Success Statement
"Act well your part; there all honor lies."
-Alexander Pope

I think what this great man means is that as long as you keep true to your parts, for example a, giving your word, keeping a promise, or even doing what you think is right, you will have honor. If you always do what you say you are going to do, people will see you as an honorable person because you are always keeping it true. You can't like even once because people will start to lose trust in you, and I think trust and honor need each other to work.

Do you think you would like to be one?
If I did not want to be a surgeon i would like to be one because they make a lot of money and it is somewhat in the same field of study as a surgeon. I feel like this is a good job to take because there isn't really a lot of pressure and even if you fail it's not as bad as seeing someone die because of your lack of skills.

Student Success Statement
" You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you."
-Jim Rohn

I think what this great man means is that you HAVE to do your own things. You can't go all your life making other do people do what YOU have to do. That doesn't make sense, because when you truly are alone and you need to do something, its just going to be you having to do your own things, no one else. It is better to always do your own things so that you can become strong and versatile. At the end it is your life, not someone elses.
