Student Success Statement

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do."

            -Richard  L. Evans

      I believe this quote is emphasizing the fact that many people choose the path they choose because of peer pressure and not because it was their desire. People need to take a stand in their believes for whatever reason it may be but as long as you are sure you are doing what makes YOU happy, not others. When doing something, whether its with friends or family, and in your mind you know that it isn't correct then you should be able to stand up and say "Hey I don't think we should do this" and not just let it get by because you don't want to let your family/friends down, or be judged. One of the worst feelings isn't letting your loves ones down but letting yourself down. Have the courage to do the right things in your life rather than having the courage in doing the wrong things. Courage is one of the most fundamental ideals you need in this life if you want your voice to be heard.
