Student Success Statement
“So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be
part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”
Sean Covey
This quote is true. There are many things
that we do to be part of the “group” of more popular people that we lose
control of we are doing and we don’t see what is really important. For example,
in the movie The Lorax, there was this guy who wanted to make a Thneed and when
his invention got popular he started chopping down trees. His greed for money
got him so obsessed with production that he chopped down all the trees in that
area, there were no more to existence. He was trying to be part of the high
class rich people. He didn’t see what was important and he ended up worse than
how he started. Another way we see this happening, is today in society. People try
to be something they are not and go with the fad. Many young teenagers these
days are wearing dumb clothing, snapbacks, and are getting tattoos to fit in
with the “group”. This group isn’t even a good one to begin with. Many people
are getting with whats cool or fashionable and they are forgetting who they
really are and what is important.
