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.
