Student Success Statements 
"Education is the latchkey to success in life."
    Gordon B. Hinckley.  

This quote defines my life basically.  Because I do believe that education is extremely important to our future and to our lives.  My interpretation of this quote is that education is what will help us be successful in life.  Most people my age (15,16,17) don't really take school seriously because they think that it won't help them, but it will.  The more we learn, the more educated and wise we are.  The more we learn, the more we can spread our knowledge to other people.  Education is kind of like an open door that we get every single day.  Some people decide to go through that door, and some people decide to close it.  It is an opportunity that should be taken by everyone that has the intelligence to take it.  Most people don't really realize how important education is.  We take it for granted because we think that it can't be taken away from.  But it can be taken away from us, and that is why we should feel lucky that it is provided to us for free.  Most people don't understand this, but education is what makes us who we are.  The more we are educated, the more we can have opinions, the more we can spread that knowledge, the more we can be successful. 

For example, the things that I learn in Spanish class, I share with my mom.  My mom shares it with my grandma.  And the chain goes on, and all the people who receive that new piece of knowledge,  received it because of education.
