Student Success Statement

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."           -Alexander Pope 

I believe this quote means that if you choose the right then that is where honor is. It means that you don't have to go looking for honor, that as long as you always do what is right then you'll have honor. For example you may be in your class and you may not think that you're honorable, but you're always always doing what is right like cooperating with the teacher and helping out classmates when they don't understand something and that make you have honor. As long as you choose the right you have honor, your honor does not depend on others, nobody can earn that honor for you, you have to do it yourself.

"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. 

Honor

To have honor you have to have integrity, honesty, ethics, good principles, kindness, fairness, trustworthiness, reliability. Your honor is based on the choices you make you, your values and actions. Other people can't earn honor for you, you have to earn it yourself, and honor is something that stays within you something that lowers when you have done something wrong and rises when you do something right .

Some synonyms for honor are: privilege, prestige, recognition, respect

To be dishonorable it means you have chosen the wrong and you don't do thing that deserve the respect of other people. When you are dishonorable you chose to do something that was not the right thing to do. 

Synonyms for dishonor: disgrace, shame, humiliation, discredit,

Your honor can't be affected by other people, honor is from within your self and something that only you can change.
