Henry David Thoreau

Student Success Statement

“Goodness is the only

investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

Reflection: I agree with Henry. When you do what’s right nothing can go wrong. If you don’t do what’s right then there are a lot of things that could go wrong. There are a lot of people that choose to do what’s wrong. Other people may tell them not o do what’s wrong but they don’t listen that’s why there a lot of bad things happening to them.

Theodore Hesburgh

Student Success Statement

“My basic principal 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

(Former Present of Notre Dame)

Reflection: I agree with Theodore Hesburtgh. I make my own decisions, but I don’t make them because other people make them; I make them because I know it’s the right thing to do. If other people make good choices then good for them but I’m not making the right choice for them, I’m making the right choice for me.

influence to make popular that which

is sound and good, and unpopular

 that which is unsound (not good).”  

Joseph Smith

Reflection: A lot of people don’t think the same. I may agree with this statement but others might not. People make their own choice. If we agree with this statement then we will follow it. Other people could keep doing wrong if they don’t agree. We can’t make them change their mind, only they can.

Abraham Lincoln

Student Success Statement

“I am bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand

with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while

he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”
