Student Success Statement 

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."

Having money, strength and beauty do not compare with a good heart; having all that does not make you a better person but instead it makes you narcissistic. I believe having a good heart can truly affect the way you live since you have everything you don't want to do good at all. For example, there is this person that iv'e seen on a show that is very handsome and strong but he is very narcissistic, so lots of people don't really like him because of that. He realized that it wasn't a good thing to be like that yet he still chose to act better then everyone else, after that he lost all of his friends so he decided to change and he had more friends; more them before. So I do believe that being a better person on the inside is better then being a better person on the outside, since those things don't define who you are. You could use some of those things to the greater good, like having money you could always donate to charity or any other place.

Student Success Statement  "The most important thing you will ever have is good values."  -Dennis Prager  What this quote is trying to say is that knowing whats right is better then following your feelings, I don't really agree with his example about using a dog over a human. As an animal lover I totally disagree with this animals have feelings too while human are born with evil, now this isn't a animal rant but you get the jest. The video that goes with the quote has a good way explaining it but I don't personally agree with what he is saying because he said following your feelings is worse then following your value, his example is eating what you want to eat all the time will make you obese while a "person with values" will eat a salad. That's rude and disrespectful, I am a underweight for my age and I eat whatever i want and I don't gain a single thing, as for an overweight person tries to eat healthy and never succeeds. It&

Student Success Statement  "I would prefer even to fail with honor than by win by cheating." -Sophocles  This statement is inspirational not only to people but to students as well, I do agree with this quote because it can be helpful to others who struggle with academics. I believe cheating and getting a good grade isn't a good thing because you aren't true to yourself or others and failing and not cheating can help you in ways, like you can learn the subject better without cheating and you can learn to study more. There are benefits to having good grades and other stuff gaining knowledge

Student Success Statement  "Right is right only when entire."  - Victor Hugo This quote is very truthful since when telling a lie, could benefit from further outcomes. I believe that others should understand when doing something bad it could have horrible outcomes. Apparently to others a partial truth is considered a whole lie, but it depends on the one telling it. For example when doing work for a job or school either or, and you have to finish a quiz that needs to be taken at home and online. So you take the quiz and realize you don't understand what to do, so what you do is search up the answers online that is a whole lie. Just because you try to answer the quiz on your own doesn't truly mean that you tried. Honestly I don't believe that is what he's actually trying to say but i can only assume, but right will always be right and you should never make bad choices.
