Student Success Statement

“Being your own person will take you further than what others want you to be.”

                                                                    -Allison Carlos

The reason why i thought about this is because it is truly what i think. You have to be your own person. What this means is that you need to be whoever you want to be. Do whatever you want to do. Live the way you want to. If you go your life by what others want you to be, you will live unhappily. You won't be satisfied with who you are because it isn't truly you. In reality the opinion of others doesn't matter. What matters is being confident in who you are. Being yourself will only cause happiness in your life. Having people like you for what you aren't will only turn onto a hassle later on. You have to be constantly aware of the way you're being because you’re acting as someone you’re not. When you’re truly yourself you can be carefree. And if people don’t like you for you well it doesn't really matter because at least you're being the way you want to be. And you will have your true friends which do like you for who you are. Also you will have lots more fun. Being your own person is better. Be you.
