Student Success Statement

"Do what makes you happy, not what makes others happy." - Andrea Temores.

You shouldn't do something because someone said you should. It would make them happy, but your happiness should be your priority rather than theirs. It is your life, do what makes you happy because one day you'll be gone and regret what you never did. It is your decision, not theirs. For example, if someone told you to stop watching a show or movie, but it makes you happy but it makes them hate it, would you do it? If someone told you to not eat something just because they didn't like it would you? If you were reading your favorite book but someone said they didn't like it would you stop reading it? I think the answer would be no. Just because they're not happy with your decision shouldn't mean you shouldn't be happy about it either.
