Student Success Statement 3.22.18

"I am not 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." -Abraham Lincoln

I think you always have a choice to remain with someone. Like Abraham Lincoln said he stands with people when they're right and part whenever he chooses the wrong. He decides with who to remain and with who to part. He really is true to his morals. He doesn't let anyone question it or contradict his ideas. Whenever his friend begins to choose the wrong he will leave him doing so. I think that appplies to today too. Sometimes your good friends start being different. You'll always have the choice of no longer being friends with them or associating with them.

Student Success Statement 2.9.18

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." - George Washington

When you have good quality friends you are so much better off. It makes your life less stressful. You need to be strict with your friends about them respecting you. If your friends are rude or disrespectful you really need to think over what benefit they're bringing to your life. You have to think of the people you choose to be in your life. It is your life you have the ability to make decisions and meet people and rid people out of your life. I have pretty great friends. They're all very kind and helpful to me. I'm glad I have them for support and I'll support them very much.
