Student Success Statement

“Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency ask the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But, conscience ask the question, is it right? And there comes a time when we 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.

I think that the statement is trying to say that sometimes in life we do have to take risks that are not always in our comfort zone but we have to take them because we know that it is the right thing to do because our mind is telling us that it is the right thing to do. We tend to stay in our little groups where we do not know what happens outside of our group especially in high school because we are so caught up in not trying to ruin our high school experience that we take the easy way out and not take the risks that we should have taken and then we end up regretting the things that we did not do or the things we did not accomplish because we were so busy being scared to try new things and to follow our conscience.

I think that I would like to be an emergency medical technician because I would like to be able to help people when they need help the most I would like to be there to help people out.

“The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”

-         Margaret  Chase Smith

Reflection:

This quote means to me that  when you think that something is wrong but don’t want to tell your friends because you know that they are going to make fun of you for being a goody good then you choose to stay quiet. Sometimes the right thing is not want the cool crowd or the cool kids do the right thing is what you think is right and what you know is right. It does not matter what other people think of it because in the end you are the one that is going to live with the consequences not them.  A good example is when I was in 9^th grade I wanted to the cool kids to like me so I went up to an innocent girl and started talking bad to her and the only reason that I did it was because I wanted to be one of them and in the end when I got in trouble they were not there as friends that they supposedly were. Stand up for what you think is right.
