Student Success Statement

The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character." 
                                                 - Margaret Chase Smith  

I believe this means that sometimes doing the right is sometimes not popular because people might get in trouble for doing the wrong, but it better to stand for the right because if you don't you'll be doing the wrong as well. for example if you say one of your classmates take something from the teacher and they see that you saw them take it and try to pressure you into not saying anything you still should say the truth to the teacher and make that person pay for what he did wrong. It wouldn't be the most popular thing to do at the time because you would be getting someone in trouble, but it would be the right thing to do that way they could face their consequences of doing the wrong. If your friends try to persuade/pressure you into doing something that you know is wrong you should chose the right and not do it even though they might call you names or not want to be your friends anymore it better to chose the right and leave even though it would be easy because they're your "friends".
