Student Success Statement: Abraham Lincoln

"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 says in this quote that he will always do what's right and will support anyone who does the same. He will not support liars and cheaters. I do this as well. If I know what my friends are doing is right I will support them 100%. If I know what they are doing is wrong I will try to convince not to do it, and if that doesn't work I will not show my support for that friend. It is because of this that I have lost friends, but it is not much of a loos and more of a gain because I don't like to surround myself with cheaters and liars.

Student Success Statement: Abraham Lincoln

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

I definitely agree with this because I am like this constantly. Whenever I do something I know I shouldn't do I always feel horrible right afterward. However when I do something good I feel that sense of accomplishment right afterward. For example there was a homeless woman that lived near my house. She couldn't get her cart filled with her belongings up the street so I decided to help her. She thanked me and even offered me money but I decided not to take it because she needed it more than me. An example of a bad is like when one time I screamed at my brother. He felt really hurt and started to cry. I felt really bad because I didn't know it would make him feel bad.
