Student Success Statement  Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth Barbara A. Lewis Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).  Other people trust you more when you tell the truth. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight. You gain a reputation for being truthful - a trait most people value. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside.  Reflection: I believe these eight reasons are great reasons to never lie. My favorite reason is the one that says that if you don't lie you protect the innocent for taking any blame or punishment. For example if you are at home and you break your m...

Daily Student Success Statement  "Dare to stand alone. Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone." -Thomas S. Monson  Reflection: I agree with this student success statement by Thomas S. Monson. It is much better to stand alone than stand with others by choosing the wrong. If you choose the right you might feel a bit lonely at time but it is the right thing to do, no matter what. If someone invites you to got o a party and drink and do drugs and somebody else invites you to go volunteer at a hospital and then go watch a movie, then the option is clear. You should go volunteer and watch a movie. Although all the popular people are going to that party, they will be choosing the wrong so you shouldn't go. But in the other hand if you go with your close friends to volunteer at a hospital and help those in need you will be choosing the wrong and afterwards you guys can watch a movie that does not involve choosing the wrong. That is why this student success...

Student Success Statement  "I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." - Sophocles Reflection: This is a very good student success statement, one of my favorites in fact. This is because this student success statement applies to absolutely everyone. It says that it's better to lose with honer, which is true. So it says that loosing is not bad when you didn't cheat. Although you may feel sad by the fact that you didn't win but you will then realize that the biggest reward is choosing the right. The other half of the student success statement says that winning by cheating is bad, which is true. So in other words this says that even if you win by cheating, you really failed. So by cheating it may look as if you won to everyone else, but in the inside you will feel guilt. So it is better to lose and not cheat than cheat and actually win.

I also believe that I will not be able to do waht they do.
