~Student Success Statement ~
"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials in the pleasure of approving conscience"
- Robert E. Lee
Reflection: What this quote means is you always have to do the right thing and if you keep doing the right thing it will get easier by practice and as a result of you doing the right thing, you will feel better about yourself and live in harmony knowing you have done the right thing. Doing whats right shows you have good character and have chosen the high way of life. Doing what is obviously wrong shows that you have pushed yourself to cowardliness and chose the low way of life. Sometimes, It will be hard to do the right thing because certain people will pressure you or your reputation is on the line. But, if you don''t do what they are telling you to do you feel that you are a coward not realizing that they are the true cowards for making you do something you don't wan to to and something bad that can potentially hurt you emotionally and physically. In you're mind, all you think about is making yourself look good and BAM! what happens? you do the wrong thing in hope of doing the right thing and you end up feeling guilty and it comes back and haunts you. Later on in life, you realize all the bad things you have done in life and start to change. Soon, you start doing the right thing and with practice comes success. With your experience, you encourage others to choose the right and choose a healthy lifestyle. As others do right, than other people will start doing right and everyone develops a good sense of "right". You feel great knowing you done good in life and it becomes easier for everyone else.
