Student Success Statement: Sophocles


Student Success Statement
“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”
                             Sophocles
Honestly, no matter be honorable. In everything and all the time, doesn’t matter if somebody sees it or not. No one has to recognize how much honor you have, only God, yourself, your family. And even if they don’t see it who cares? At least you’re going the right way. For example, a test, you know very well that if you pass that test you will be honored and given a scholarship  but if you don’t you will get no recognition. So you cheat and you get honored, get treated like a winner, but you know very well yourself that you aren’t a winner, you cheated. But let’s say you don’t cheat, so you fail the test, you have another chance. There are other things that are greater coming your way. And even if you were not treated like a prince or princess because you passed and aren’t told, “Good job” God is proud of you, because even though you failed, you didn’t fail to have honor. Being honorable is being real, doing the right thing. I honor my God by loving him all the time, I honor my parents by obeying them. Now honor yourself, this country, your school, friends, family, teachers, no matter what because when you honor them you are showing your good self and are honoring yourself. In a good way though not a conceited way. What I’m saying is that you should be honorable, one day you are going to be a mother or a father, and you would want your kids to honor you. So honor everyone, honor yourself. And have honor. Choose the right always.
