Student Success Statement
“A promise must never be broken.”
Alexander Hamilton
What Joseph Smith is trying to say is that if something bad is getting popular to not go with it just because it is popular to let it go and make it unpopular make it disappear if possible. Because there’s many things that are popular but that aren’t suppose to be like rap music, doing drugs, ditching school, not doing your homework, giving attitude to the teacher. That’s all “popular” but there’s nothing good to it. You need to try and stop it because it has to become unpopular because it’s not something good and it doesn’t sound good either it’s something no one should be doing. You have to influence people to do the good things and make that become “popular” like doing your homework, not doing drugs, paying attention to your teacher not giving them attitude. You always have to choose the right and make things that are good popular so that we have a good community and good students. It’s for their own good anyways so if they don’t want to do what’s right then let them be you can say you at least tried. Choose the right and do things that sound good and that are good.
It’s true if you think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain you’re wrong because if you lie you will have it in you for a long time it won’t go away as much as you try to stop thinking about you will end up thinking about it. It’s not worth cheating. Like for the athletes like they can get really good at the sport instead of using steroids it’s really bad they don't see the consequences of this is you passing away going to jail, or just constantly taking a drug and not getting caught and then them losing you because they can’t take a cheater into their team and also if you do that and you get caught you don’t only ruin your games etc. the team has to leave because that’s not acceptable in a soccer team or in any other sport. You have to be really careful with doing those things because something could happen to you and you will lose your spot on the team. Never choose the wrong because that lead you to other things and not good things bad ones. It’s something very bad something that shouldn’t even come to your mind of using it. Dont take a shortcut.CTR.
