Student Success Statement

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stand right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he is wrong.”

                     -Abraham Lincoln

This is true, when you stand with someone that stand right than you are going to do right, but when that person starts doing wrong then you have to let them go because they might influence your actions. You hose the people you stand with, and they should always be people who are firm on their feet, people who are choosing the right. If you stand with the wrong people than you better be sure that you are going to go down the wrong path too.

                                           Summary 

This was so sweet a football team was going to make sure that a young boy named Keith with a disorder was going to score a touchdown. Thus was sweet because they planed it out and they didn't tell the coaches about it. When Keith scored the touchdown everyone in that team was happy but no one was more happy than Keith himself. But what made this even more great was that this also changed those players, when they saw how happy they made Keith some of them saw far more than themselves. This showed them a great lesson about doing the right thing and putting other in first.

Cheating: Is the short term gain worth the long term pain?

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

                   -George Michell, Senate Majority Leader, Presidential Metal of Freedom, Disney Chairman of the Board

This is just such a great statement, there are so many people who cheat just to make where they are going shorter but that is not going to help them at all. At the end cheaters always get caught and when they do everyone looks down on them because cheating is one if the worst things that you can do. Cheating is something that I never want to do in my life

Hard work will get you where you want to go as they say cheaters never prosper. And I think that is very true I think anyone who has cheated ever before knows that this will never get them anywhere. All cheating does is it gives you a bad name that’s all no one will ever look up to you for being a cheater.
