Student Success Statement

“We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do.”

-Richard L. Evans

When it comes to doing the right thing, a lot of people don't do it.  The reason is that people feel that doing the right thing is uncool or they want to fit in and have friends.  But those people are followers and cowards.  It takes heart and bravery to do the right thing no matter what anybody thinks.  Like the quote says, it takes courage to start standing up for what is right and to start doing what is right.  Kindness costs nothing.  Once you start being kind and doing what you should do, you will be fearless.  You will not care what anybody has to say because the universe will reward you. Although being kind isn't about receiving a gift, when you do good things good things will come to you.  This quote says that you need courage to do what needs to be done because that is not easy.  It can take years for someone to learn what they should be doing and actually do it.  But once you begin, you will never stop because you will realize that it is the right thing to do.
