“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.”

What this quote is trying to say is that no matter what, you shouldn’t be around people that will make you do bad things. People that will encourage you to smoke, drink, party, sneak out etc. If you really care about your education and your future, then you will do something about it. You will stay in your room and study for the quiz, not go out with friends. You will remember that your future is more important. Maybe later on when you get your dream job and your dream car, you can go out and party. Be happy that you actually made it. Make your parents proud and make yourself proud. Show the people that said you wouldn’t graduate that you did. Show the people that had no confidence in you that you can make a change in yourself. Don’t let those kind of people put you down and change your dreams. You know what you want to do and what you want to become. Only you can make your dreams come true because in the end, it’s you.
