Student Success Statement

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
~George Washington



To associate yourself with men of good quality, means to connect with people of ‘your nature’. I certainly this is true, and I believe that by doing so, people can become more of a better person. However, I think leaving others behind, just because of the things they do from what they were taught from their childhood, is no exception of mine. I think finding these people during our pathways in life, truly means they have a purpose. If it’s not for them to teach us a lesson, it’s for us to teach them. To summarize, I believe that we shouldn’t push anyone away no matter how they are or what they do, someday we will be recognized by this.

Student Success Statement

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company”
~George Washington



From this quote, I can take a long lasting advice, even for everyone. This quote is saying that if it means to do good and escape the bad, but in the need to be alone it is all worth it. This quote also says that it doesn’t matter if your “friends” seem good and nice from the outside, it will always pass on to the next, until the bad gets to you. It also says that you can never trust bad company, not even for a moment. So in the end, you have to get away from those who put evil and bad decisions in your mind, and just stay alone until you figure out what’s right for you. No one ever said making decisions was going to be easy anyways
