Student Success Statement

Be true

“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.”

I think that what this quote means is that whenever you choose to do something that is right which means that whenever you choose to be good and to do what is right that there will be people next to you supporting you but whenever you choose to do what is wrong and then you begin to disobey then that is when people start to leave your side and they don't trust you or want to be next to you. It also means that you have to choose the correct people that you want to hang out with because then that will reflect the person that you will be and the person that will become inside of you, whether a good or a bad one and then this will eventually reflect your daily actions and your daily life. Like for example you are trying to get a job but nobody is going to want you because you have a bad reputation of not obeying the rules and of not choosing to do what anyone tells you and that you are disrespectful.
