Student Success Statement

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right.”

                                                          W. Clement Stone

Reflection: You always have to stand up for yourself and do the right thing even though there are people out there that might not agree. You have to listen to yourself because in the end the only one that will be with you is yourself nobody else. With bravery and boldness anything can become possible, but if you are shy shyness doesn’t really bring anything just incompleteness. That’s why you have to have courage enough to do things yourself and know what you are doing as well. For example, if you are being bullied you have to say something about it and not just ignore it. You have to face reality because you’re getting hurt. Do what’s right for you and the ones you care about.

“Courage is being scared to death and doing the right thing anyway.”

                                                Chae Richardson

 Reflection: Knowing what the right thing to do sometimes take courage and braveness. Having the nerve to do something no matter what others think of you because you know it’s right for you. You always have to think before you act because at times if you don’t, you’ll say or do things you’ll regret later. For example, if you don’t understand a problem in your math class and your shy to talk your going to have to let it go. Shyness doesn’t bring anything good it just doesn’t let you do a thing. You have to stand up for yourself because at the end nobody is there for you but yourself.

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

                                                          Sophocles

Reflection: Cheating isn’t the key to honor its knowing what you did and realizing it. There are people out there that would prefer to cheat but in the inside they know they did wrong. Always say the truth even though you won’t become benefited from it. For example, if you forgot to do your homework and you decide to copy off someone you will risk yourself and the one you copied from. If you just tell the teacher you forgot to do it she might even give you a day more to do but if you copied you will not win anything just a bad grade.
