Student Success Statement

Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'

Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?'

Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'

And there comes  a time when one must take a 

position that is neither safe, not politic, not popular but one must take it because ones conscience tells one that it is right.

 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

When you do something no other question but "Is it right?" goes through your mind although some will try to ignore that little voice that tells them that they are wrong it is still there. So dont avoid it listen to it it will help you in the long run. For example if some one is pressuring you into doing drugs do not think but it will be popular you try to make up excuses for what you have done wrong dont just choose the right.

"Right is right only when entire."

Victor Hugo

When you choose to do the right you do not do half of the right and then choose the wrong the other half. If you choose to do the right it has to be the complete right.  For example if you choose to be kind and pay the rest of a bill for someone such as a family member asks for a couple of dollars for something they want if you give them the money not lend you wont be asking them left and right to give you the money back. You chose the right to give it to them and now youre choosing the wrong to give it to others.

When You Tell One Lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks wont suspect you

Then you tell six lies and youll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

' Cause you cant remember how many lies youve told

And half the things you say arent true

And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

'Till the whole wide world will know youre lying

Then you'll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, youre closing the door 

On everything good

Tommy Lasorda 

Determination is to strive and never give up to achieve a goal. There is no such thing as impossible everything is possible if you are truly determined to accomplish it. For example say that you really want to go to college but the first year or two of high school you really didnt take things to seriously if you really would want to make it to a good college and you are determined you can make it. Make up your credits go to college in high school colleges will admire your determination and what might seem impossible to you will become possible.
