Student Success Statement #26

Manners

“Manners maketh man.”-William Wykeham

The statement “Manners maketh man.” explains that the manners you have have make the person you are. Such as if don’t say please or thank you at all then you come off to people as a rude person. Instead if you respect people you seem to others as a nice person. It also works the other way around to if you see a person doing  something without manners then they seem to you as a mean person or someone you don’t really want to be associated with. Such as if you see someone with manners and is polite then you might consider being friends with them.

Don’t Say It

“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.”-Marcus Aurelius

The statement explains that don’t do things that aren’t right and don’t say things that are not true. For example if you hear a rumor about someone that you know it isn’t true don’t go around spreading the rumor. Even if you don’t know if the rumor is true or not don’t go around spreading it. If you know something is not right to don’t it. Don’t get tempted to do what not right. If you don’t want rumors spread about you then don’t say what isn’t true. If you see other people cheating on a test passing around a paper with the answers and they offer if you want to copy just say no. Tell them it's not the right thing to do and continue trying your best on the test.

If you are asked to take a sip of beer have the courage to say no and walk away. If you give in to the temptation and get caught have the courage and face the truth. Although having integrity means doing the right thing because it’s the right thing.If you cheat on test do the right thing and tell the teacher you cheated, or think before you decide to cheat. Cheating won’t help you and if you knew you didn’t understand the subject you were taking the test on you should have studied or asked your teacher for help.

Student Success Statement #22

Shall be Wise

“He that walketh with wise man shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

The statement “ He that walketh with wise man shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” this explains that a person who hangs out with the wrong crowd will get into trouble. A person who hangs out with the right crowd will not get in trouble and might even succeed in life. If you have friends who do drugs, don’t go to school and get into a lot of trouble will end up getting you in trouble if you do those stuff or not. Hanging around those people will tempt you to do stuff you are not suppose to do which can get you arrested. Having bad influences can also not lead you to not graduating high school because if they decide to ditch most of the time and you go along with them will make you miss what you are learning in school. Or maybe they are distracting you in class while you are trying to learn. Although if you chose a group of friends who are scholar students they maybe what they do will encourage you to do better. Maybe they can help you study for a quiz or help you with your homework. Good influences almost never lead you into trouble.
