Student Success Statement: Theodore Roosevelt

“ Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation. “-Theodore Roosevelt

What i think the significance of this quote is to tell us, remind us of who we are and what we want to be in the future. It gives us a reminder that we all have a different personality. And we all have different ways in looking at things, but we all have a body, mind, and character, when i think of these three words i think about our society. Mind, we all have a brain that we use everyday and every second of our lives. It gives us a sense in what to do, and how to do it. Body, we use it do things as well. There are better ways to use our bodies instead of wasting time like making holes through it or marking ourselves. Character, our character tells everyone what and how we are. We need to use our characters for good things, instead of being rude all the time. We can use it in so many ways that we didn’t even know. We can use all these things to help a person, or help yourself. You can use these strategies to help a person that is in need. We all have these things and sometimes we don’t use them because we are scared that we might not fit in or think that we are weak. So we build a wall to hide how we really feel. We need to stop hiding or wasting our lives, you are the key.
