Student Success Statement: Alexander Hamilton

“A promise must never be broken”-Alexander Hamilton

   This quote means that a promise must never be broken because if it is, so is trust and character. Trust can be lost due to the lack of credibility of sticking to your word. No one will ever want to believe you because they will remember the time when they lost your trust. Character can also be lost after losing your credibility and integrity because no one will ever look at you the same. You need to learn to stick to your word when you say something and never claim a promise you are not capable of accomplishing. This is why it is important to never break a promise no matter what.

   There are many examples of how important it is to never break a promise. For example, if you promise to show up at a certain  time to practice then you must show up to practice at that time. If you don’t then your coach won’t trust you anymore after that and you will lose character. Another example would be you promising to bring something to a party but you show up with nothing. Since you brought nothing you will never be trusted again and probably not be invited to parties after that. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Alexander Hamilton.

Student Success Statement: Henry David Thoreau

“ Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” -Henry David Thoreau

   This quote means that goodness is the best investment because your risk isn't great. If you do good then good will come your way. You won’t be at a great risk because you will only get good in return nothing bad. If you do bad then bad will come your way. You will be at great risk because you will never know what to expect to be coming your way but it will most likely not be good. This is why the best investment is good because it is basically a for sure good will come your way.

   There are many examples of why goodness is the best investment. For example, if you study all night for a test for the next day and end up getting a high score on that test. This happened because you invested in goodness which lead you to goodness. Another example would be you going out and partying instead of staying home and studying for that test that you end up getting a bad score on. This happened because you didn’t invest in goodness which lead you down a bad path. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Henry David Thoreau.

Student Success Statement: Theodore Hesburgh

“ My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right.” - Theodore Hesburgh

This quote means that you will make a decisions on something because it is the right thing to do. You shouldn't be making a decisions just because it is easy, you need to know how to deal with things the hard way. You also don’t make the decisions because it is cheap you need to learn that everything has a price in life some highers than others. Lastly you don’t make decisions because it's popular you need to learn that it's better to stand alone doing what is right rather than standing with a group who is wrong. This is why it is important to make the a decision because it is right, not because it's easy, cheap or popular.

There are many examples of how choosing a decision which is right is better than because it was easy, cheap or popular. For example, everyone else is choosing to go to a party because it's the “popular” thing to do but you decide to stay home and study. This will help you out later in life when you are graduating college and off to start your career which took hard work to reach. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Theodore Hesburgh.

Student Success Statement:Brigham Young

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”-Brigham Young

This quote means that it is important to choose the right so that you can be independent. If you do what is right you will be trusted with freedom and be able to be independent. You won’t need to be depending on anyone for anything while you are choosing the right. If you choose the wrong you will not be able to be trusted with your freedom and will not be independent. You will have to be relying on someone all the time because of you choosing the wrong.

There are many examples of how important it is to choose the right in order to be able to be free and independent. For example, if you were to start smoking you will eventually become dependent on the substance. You will start to feel as though you can't function without it which will make you addicted to it. Another example would be something as little as cheating on tests in order to get good grades. You will eventually get stuck someday unable to copy anyone and what will you do then? Nothing because you will be so use to copy or cheating. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Brigham Young.

Student Success Statement: George Chapman

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”-George Chapman

   This quote means that there are those who cheat and there are those who win fairly. If you cheat there is a chance that you won’t get caught but you will eventually face the consequences. You will eventually start to feel guilty and want to tell the truth about what you did. If you don’t cheat you will never have to feel guilty and be worrying about the consequences. Basically it is just best to stay away from cheating to avoid situations like this.

   There are many examples of why it is important to stay away from cheating. For example, two people are in a race and the one cheating gets first place. The one who isn’t cheating gets second but that doesn’t really matter because in the end he is the real winner for not cheating. Meanwhile the one who cheated is going to be feeling guilty for cheating in order to win first place. This matters because it goes to show that no matter how far cheating gets you, you will always live with the guilt. This is basically what I understood from this quote.

Student Success Statement: George Mitchell

“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 Mitchell

This quote means that no matter how much you think something as simple as cheating can not affect, you it always will. If you never cheat then you are choosing the right and are going to be led to success. If you cheat then you are choosing the wrong and will not be led down the right path. When you cheat you will eventually have to face the consequences and will always be feeling guilty. It is very important to stay away from cheating at all cost in order to stay on the right path.

There are many examples of how cheating can affect you in the long run. For example, if you cheat on a test you think it won’t affect you just because you didn’t get caught but that is not true. You can not always rely on cheating, what are you suppose to do when you are unable to cheat and are left on your own to figure it out? Well that is when your true colors will show and you will be unable to stop it. Another example would be you cheating in a competition and you getting caught. No one will look at you the same afterwards because they will always think back to when you made a simple mistake. This is basically what I understood from this quote by George Mitchell.
