Arete

Today in class, I learned about the word arete. I had never heard of this word before we started talking about it in class. It means excellence of any kind and moral virtue. This word is all about taking initiative, which is something to keep in mind for this school year. I need to focus on what I have to complete in school and take that initiative in order to reach arete. Excellence is something that I believe we should all strive for. We also can't expect to always be perfect. Excellence can mean a lot of things according to the person. I know that excellence for me is straight A's, but for some people it's just passing the class. No matter what you should try your hardest and put in all your effort in order to reach your goals.
