Student Success Statement 

Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth 

Barbara A. Lewis 

1. Telling the truth let's everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside. 

There are reasons why you should tell the truth but it can lead you into trouble, which is not a good idea but trust can give you good things like having a reputation. It really depends on you and the way you tell the truth, telling others the truth can push people away and cause you to lose friendships. I understand that telling the truth can be hard but sometimes that's the only way out but then lying is the only way in, so unfortunately I don't completely agree with this but I also don't disagree with this. So remember hardly lie and tell the truth.

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.
