Student Success Statement

“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

In my opinion this quote is trying to say that we have a choice to choose between right and wrong. We should not make choices based upon if they are cheaper, more popular, or easier. We should follow this principle so that our decisions will not be wrong.

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”

Otto Graham, Jr.

This quote is telling you to ask yourself if what you think you’re doing is right or wrong. It humbles you because if you’re doing wrong and you know it, the quote says to act “accordingly” and do the right thing.

“Right is right only when entire”

Victor Hugo

 This quote can be referenced when someone’s telling a lie. When someone is telling you the truth but leaving something out then it’s a lie. Just because they didn’t tell you it doesn’t mean they didn’t lie because what if you really needed to know that piece of information.
