Student Success Statement

''Dare to stand alone. Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone.'' - Thomos S. Monson

I agree with this quote. Never let fear stop you from doing what you believe in. Standing out should not be something to have to worry about. Sometimes it is the true courage of standing alone that makes a difference. The ability to stand alone in a crowd of common thought is truley something powerful. For example, there have been many cases throughout hiistory that involve someone rebelling agaisnt the  common belief. While it is never the easiest thing to do, it was the right thing. People are afraid themselves, so by doing so you may inspire others. Do not be afraid to believe in what you know to be right. All it takes is courage.

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.

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...
