Student Success Statement

“ 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

For example, smoking weed has become pretty popular now a day. So a lot of kids want to try it and be “cool”. But no matter what others do or think you shouldn’t fall into what is wrong. You should say what you think and follow what is right in your heart.

Student Success Statement

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

                                ~Joseph Smith

Its our job to influence others what is right and what is wrong. Everyone should do right and not chose to do bad. We should follow the right influences.

 “What’s right isn't always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”    

~ Howard Cosell

I think what Howard is trying to say is that if something is popular and everyone is doing it, it still isn't right. For example, if a lot of people are ditching school, only because a lot of people are doing it doesn't make it right. Ditching is wrong, you are losing your education the more and more you ditch. You can also get a ticket and be sent to court. So you shouldn't do the wrong things just because a lot of people are doing it and you want to seem cool. Just care about yourself and do what’s right.
