                               Student Success Statement

                                         Proverbs 22:1

        "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."

Reflection: This quote is saying that having a good name for yourself is better than any type of money that you can receive. For example, what's the point of being a bad person? What good does it do. It won't make you cooler. It won't make you better. All it's going to do is make you a bad person. Someone with a putrid personality. Is this really what you want to be? Having people like you for the person you are. Is far more important than bathing in riches.

                                Student Success Statement

 " A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life."

                                                       By: Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski)

Reflection: I think this quote means that having a good reputation is better than having a bad one. Think of it this way. You are at work. You work with your fellow peers, but every time you come in they say " Oh its him again." Or if your just awfully disrespectful. You already made a bad name for yourself. It's kind of like first impressions. When you first meet someone that's kind of how you see how the person might be. So if you made a bad name for yourself. It's not impossible to change it, just it's going to take time for the person to understand what type of person you truly are.
