STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

'' Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.'' - George Washington

This quote is something I agree with. It speaks truth when it comes to which crowd is the better option to hang around. It is better to be alone than around others who will force you to take bad actions. Always choose people you know will respect your opinions. If they force you to do bad things, then they are not worth hanging around with. The best reputation is that of a clean reputation. If you have been force into a bad reputation, it will not appeal. Associate yourself with those of good qualities. If they will improve you, they are worth it. Improve as a whole, do not take any negative actions because there will be consequences. For example, if you start hanging around a crowd that like to disrespect others , then you will not benefit the situation. If you hang around crowds that follow their morals and have good standards, then they are worth hanging on too. Always be cautious and wary of those you associate yourself with. They reflect you and you reflect them. Make sure the reflections are not bad images.

''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...
