Mountain Heritage High School: Quote Analysis

253 Words2 Pages

A quote that I have used to help me through high school at Mountain Heritage High School is “The Point is not to take the world’s opinion as a guiding star but, to go one’s way in life and working unerringly, precisely; neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.” This quote reminds me to stay humble and never give up. This quote has also reminded me, in countless situations, that other people’s opinions of me should not define me.
