Student Success Statement by B.C. Forbes

Student Success Statement

"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or legal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."

B.C. Forbes

Reflection:

This statement  teaches us a lot about honesty, because honesty is a key to being successful in life. A person who is honest will always tell the truth and never lie to their family, friends, and neighbors. An honest person will always be loyal. A person who always lies and never tells the truth is not an honest person, and that person will never go far in life. An honest person will get a lot of doors opened for them to live a successful life.

Margaret Chase Smith 

Reflection:

Even though people might judge you for choosing the right, it's the right thing to do. people might make fun of you for doing the right thing, but you should be proud of yourself, because when you choose the right, you feel happiness inside of you. If you keep on choosing the right instead of choosing the wrong, you will find happiness in life.

Student Success Statement

"Character is higher than intellect."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

Our character show what kind of people we are. If we choose the right, then we have a good character. A good character shows that we are honest, respectful, and responsible. Also, it shows that we follow the rules. If we choose the wrong, then we have a bad character. A bad character shows that we are not responsible, liars, and it shows people can't trust us. A person with a good character is a CTR champion.
