Student Success Statement 

"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.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Becoming persistent does not change what you are doing it just gives you a stronger will and mindset that will make it easier for you to accomplish it. Persistence will lead you to your goal slowly but surely, once you dont give up once there is no going back. Persistence will just make it easier because youve tried it so many times already.
