Student Success Statement

“It is our duty to concentrate

all our influence to make

popular that which is sound

and good, and unpopular

that which is unsound”

(not good)

Joseph Smith

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.
