“Character is higher than intellect.”-Ralph waldo Emerson

This means that to have a good character is way better then to know everything. Although academics and knowing a lot help to have a good character is above all because if you have a bad attitude and you're the smartest you would be nothing due to your character which makes you the person that you are .to have a good character means that you will do everything that you can to help others around you and you will always be in your best possible behavior.over all the person you are is what matters because in the end you show character and everyone shows their different strengths of intelligence.although once in awhile students are labeled by their intelligence they are usually labeled by their character that shows and the attitude used to interact with others in the everyday lifestyle.
