Student Success Statement 

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't.  In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than cheaters.  Don’t do it." 

George Mitchell 

This quote does not just apply to sports, but also life.  Whenever you are contemplating doing something bad, you have to ask yourself: "Will the long term repercussions be worth it?"  For example, if you are having problems at home and you want to smoke weed to "forget about those problems', sure you might feel good instantly.  But after those 20, 30 minutes of being "high", you will feel exactly the same.  You have to thing "Is doing this REALLY going to help me?  Will it help me in any way?"  The answer is...NO.   You must always think about the consequences of your actions.  At the end of the day, the person you are causing the most harm to is yourself.  In life, good choices lead to good consequences and bad choices lead to bad consequences.  You have to remember to always think about the potential long-term pain you could be causing to yourself and to others.
