"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences."-Robert E. Lee

I think this quote is saying that even if it takes a little suffering it is better to what is right than to do what is wrong and have to live with a dirty conscience. For example when you don't study for a test it is better to take a FAIL then to cheat because that causes guilt and you feel bad.

"Tell me what is right and I will fight for it."-Woodrow Wilson

   This statement is saying that if someone tells you what is the right thing to do you will do anything to make it it happen. When something is right you have to fight for it because it is the right thing is worth fighting for. For example, when someone gets in trouble and you know they are the ones that did wrong you have to try as hard as you can and let the people know that, that person is not to blame.

They work under the supervision of physicians, primarily in hospitals and clinics.

   Dialysis technicians must fully understand the operation of the kidney dialysis machines. They are responsible for their operation, cleaning, and sterilization. They must also fully understand their patients’ needs. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor and record weight and vital signs before, during, and after the blood cleansing procedures. Additionally, they instruct patients about in-home treatments. Because dialysis technicians work with the blood, they must exercise strict safety precautions against infectious diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.

Student Success Statement

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."-Margaret Chase Smith

   This statement is saying that the right way isn't always the way the crowd goes toward. Sometimes the right way is unpopular and everyone is saying to do wrong, but it is when you choose the right even though everyone else is against it is when you truly show your morals. That is how you prove how morally strong you are because people usually go for the popular way even if it is the wrong thing to do. For example, when you are in a party with your "friends" and people start offering you alcohol, so everyone takes it, but you don't and everyone starts teasing you and calling you names. Even though that occurs you still don't take it because you know it is wrong.
