Student Success Statement 

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

Abraham Lincoln 

When i read this quote by Abraham Lincoln i think he meant it from his own perspective. Taking into account at this time he was also running for president and must have had doubts of his win. But he was trying to assure the people that even if he doesn't win he will stand for the country but only with the one who does the right. In reality no ones wants to stand for a man that always ruins or damages a person reputation but with a man who knows what he is doing. When a person fallows and knows between right and wrong other people tend to fallow and trust that person because they know what they are doing. But the way always part from the ones who do the wrong. 

April Fool's Day

April Fool's takes place on the 1st of April.  April fool's happens to be on the first of April because it is a way of seeing it as the new years or seasonal change back in the 15th hundreds. But the reason that this is so peculiar was because the day was change to Jan. 1st, but people still celebrated it on April 1st which got other people to call the Europeans fools since they still fallowed the old calender. Another story would be that Aprils fools started during the rule of Constantine where on April 1st he allowed a Jester to rule over the kingdom only for the Jester to make a announcement of April fools to the entire country. The only problem would be that the professor who said this story happen to be playing a prank for April fools. But in the end April fools is seen as a seasonal change in which it allows people to experience the lighthearted holiday because of the seasons.

Student Success Statement 

"True independence and only freedom can only exist in doing what is right." 

Brigham Young 

When i read this quote i think that he means that a person is never truly free if he/she makes a mistake. It is possible that the mistake might be little or might have not cost anyone but what if that mistake involve not following what is right. What if that mistake was only made by cheating, lying and costings other more than it should. Doing what is right is what allows a person to live a peaceful and free life. But a simple mistake can lead to a person feeling guilty which causes them to not feel free to always feel trap. 

St. Patricks Day 

St. Patricks day is celebrated in March 17 because its a way to commemorate St. Patrick who happens to be the reason for the holiday and because its the day he died. St. Patrick was a bishop in ireland who wasn't very popular it wasn't until after  his death due to many myths. One of the myths was that he was the one that got rid of snakes that were in Ireland, even though its impossible since snakes can't live in Ireland due to the weather. In the beginning St. Patricks also happen to be a day were the christians had a feast of a sort but later in America it turn into parties and parade. As for the color green we wear it because it has a lot of representation towards Ireland the color green is for the flag and the way the entire country has green life. But the interesting fact is that we wear green because of another myth which happen to be that leprechauns don't pitch a person when wearing green, which is why everyone wears green to not get pinched by one.

Student Success Statement 

"They're  only truly great who are truly good."

George Chapman 

What i thing that George Chapman is trying to say is that a person is only great if he/she does and follow what is good. What this means is that if a person strays from a certain path only to do what is wrong then that person isn't great at all. Because he/she already did something bad that damage who they are and possibly what they could have been. But id a person does and follows what is good then he/she is great. Simply because they accomplish what the other couldn't do and manage to do something with their lives.

Student Success Statement 

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 the cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it." 

George Mitchell 

 By reading this quote i understand that nothing can be gain by cheating. Cheating is just a excuse for being lazy, because in reality there is no use for cheating a person can be as good as any other person by just working hard. When steroids are mention one can think of all the famous athletes who have been found or confess to have use steroids. This is another example of being lazy because in sports is all about training and eating right not about using drugs and finding a easy way out. Which is why when a person cheats there is no gain everything is just taken away from them another reason why the gain from cheating isnt worth it since it will only be taken away.

"Character matters most."

When i read this quote i think he means that a persons character is the importance. A person character is what makes them who they along with their actions. A person can have all the success they want but what if their character is the worst. They behave badly along with other bad actions because of this many people might stop liking that person.

Student Success Statement 

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are truly of great use; a right heart exceeds all."

Benjamin Franklin 

When i read his quote i think he means that a person might have everything beauty, strength, and riches but they have achieved nothing if they do not have a great heart. A person who has all three things beauty, strength, and riches only have it for several reasons but many times they are lonely sad people, and only have what they have in order to comfort them for what they dont. Its like the issue of money; how money cannot buy everything? Money can buy many things but cannot buy a family, love, or friendship, and people who have beauty, strength, and riches find himself without any family and care. But a person with a right heart may not have all of the factors need but they have what matters and what cannot be swayed by money or any others factors.
