Cowardice asks the question 'is it safe?'
expediency asks the question ' Is it politic?'
Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'
But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'
and there comes a time when must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

REFLECTION: what this quote means is that it doesn't matter what you cowardice or other feelings say you should always trust your conscience to see if it is right. for example if you saw someone gave you drugs you would go to your conscience and not use the drugs and don't use your vanity as a feeling to help the situation.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

"Let us have faith that right makes right, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."


Abraham Lincoln


REFLECTION:What this statement means to me is to make us understand whats right, I feel that all the negativity we have towards each other should change. We need to do the right thing so everything can go well. For example, If you are told to do something and you have a partner who is not listening you need to keep doing the right thing and encourage them to do the right thing as well.  So if you do this you will always choose the right.
