Student Success Statement

“ They’re only truly great who are truly good” - George Chapman

     This student success statement is a truly good one. George Chapman quoted that the only person who is truly great are those who who are good. In other words, the only person who is great is the one who chooses the right and does good things. And it’s true. You won’t have a “great” person who does bad things. They are not truly good for that. For example, if there is a person who donates money and food to the poor and does good things to their community, that is a truly good person. They are truly great for that. Another example is that there is this kid who does drugs and disobeys to their parents, but he is a great athlete. He might be great in the game but not truly great within himself. He is not truly good, because he does bad things. George Chapman states this quote to emphasize that goodness of being truly great. If you are truly great, that is because you are truly good. An example of truly good actions are helping out the poor, donating, helping out the elderly, etc. That is what makes a truly great person. Throughout my experience, I noticed that the truly great people are those who do god. Which is pretty great. That is why it is significant to choose the right, because that are the elements of becoming a truly great person. And it feels good.
