STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

'' Right is right only when entire.'' - Victor Hugo

This quote is true. I agree with its message. Something can only be purely honest if it is at its whole. Only then can it be considered right. Honesty is one of the golden keys of following the right. How can something that is only half true compare to a full statement of honesty? For example, if you are speaking to someone and they ask you for a favor and you stretch the truth, it is a half lie. It does not count as being completely honest. Something that is partial does not hold the same effect at something that is complete. You or anyone else will never bring full satisfaction if you tell anything u the whole truth. Another example would be when you do something that is wrong and someone asks you for an explanation and you do not tell them the complete story. You are holding back the truth. You prevent yourself and others of upholding honesty. Right can only ever be right if it is at its full moon. Right can never be a half moon or any other phase. Nothing is ever entire if it is not whole and complete.

''The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.'' - Dr. Laura Shlessinger This quote is true. Usually when doing something that is right you never really get a physical reward. The satisfaction is internal since you yourself commited the act. At times there might not be any witnesses. Physical recognition comes for other reasons. When you acknowledge those factors, right truly will feel like a phenomenon. The feeling you get when doing right is like no other. That is the only feeling apart from all others. That sense of well being will not be caused by any thing else. Reward over moral is a great prize.

Student Success Statement

''I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor'. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls- walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first.'' - Karl G. Maeser I think this quote is very noble. It speaks of good character. The quality it takes is of the ultimate trust and loyalty. Yet, I can't help but disagree at its exaggeration. Trust and loyalty can only go so far and do so much. While it is true, having those qualities and being true to your word is incredible, it can not be the only action. For example, to die out of a promise seems extreme. There are many ways to fufill a promise and be a trustworthy person. Dying should not be considered. Staying true is one thin...
