Student Success Statement
"Cowardice asks the question 'is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?'
Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'
But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a
position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor
popular, but one must take it because one's
conscience tells one that it is right."
(Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Reflection: To me this is a beautiful statement that is written by a man who changed the world for us. You cant always follow your conscience reason being, it can not always be right. For example: When you are told to take care of something such as a phone or someones personal belonging(s), you need to make sure no one takes it not even you. if your conscience tells you to steel it because maybe your in need of money or need a new phone, its better to earn it with dignity and the right feeling. You need to earn the things you get by doing it yourself. That way you feel good and you don't make the person you stole from sad, because you don't know the work they did or what the person did to give them the item. So always choose the right.
