Student Success Statement

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."- William Penn

  This statement is saying that no matter what right will always be right even when it is not a popular decision and wrong is wrong even when everyone is telling you to do it. For example, when you are with a group of people that you talk to and this really thin kid with glasses passes and everyone knows he's really smart. The group of people that you're with start calling him names and they start pushing him around. Then they keep telling you to try because it is fun or else they are not going to talk to you anymore. You have to stand up for the kid because that is the right thing to do, even if those kids were going to stop talking to you.

Student Success Statement

"Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question 'Is it Politic?' Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

But, conscience asks the question 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  This statement is saying that when your conscience is what tells whether something is right or not. It does not matter if everyone else is saying to do something, if your conscience is saying that it is wrong, then you don't do it. For example, when you're out with your friends, and they do drugs and they offer you some, and you feel it is wrong to accept the drugs and do them, then you do not take them.

Student Success Statement

"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."- Abraham Lincoln

   This statement is saying that we must not doubt the right thing. I think that we always need to believe that when you do the right thing, there will be a positive thing as well or that it will spread. Through that same faith we need to know what we are meant to do. For example, you do the right thing because through your faith that is what you know you have to do.

Student Success Statement

"Right is right only when whole."- Victor Hugo

   This means that the right thing is only truly the right thing when said or done complete. It is not the right thing if it is said/done by parts or half way. For example, if you tell half of the truth and lie about the other half then that is still the wrong thing because you still lied. It is only the complete right or none.

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased."- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The thing has not facilitated, but you have made it easier to do. For example, if you don't know a language, but start practicing by speaking it everyday, then soon you will know the language.
