Student Success Statement

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."           -Sophocles
This quote I believe it means that it is better to fail honestly, with honor rather than winning by cheating which is bad thing to do. For example if you're in a basketball team and your team practiced a lot to win the game but loses at least you know that the team tried its best and that you guys failed, but with honor that you guys had at least tried that is better than maybe taking something that will help you win the game or do something that was wrong that made you guys win, but you didn't win with honor, you won by cheating. Another example is that if you're taking a test and you studies, but even though you had studied it didn't help you with all the questions and you end up failing the test at least you know you did the best that you could even though you could've probably done something to not fail which is better than getting an A on the test by cheating off the test of your partner. Also another example would be that if you don't do your homework and you say that you didn't do it and turn it in later but you did it yourself its better that turning it on time by cheating off a friend and not getting that practice to understand whatever the homework was about better.
