Student Success Statement

“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Reflection:  This quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is incredible because he says that true education is not completed with just intelligence but it is complete when it's intelligence plus character. Those two qualities show true education. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skill and that shows how educated you are. An example of showing intelligence is getting good grades in school and being one of the top students that is what intelligence really is. Character is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. An example of character is when someone drops something and you decide to pick that thing up that shows a lot of character. Also being honest and fair shows a lot of good character in you. “Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”
