Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience. ”
Robert E. Lee

I agree with Robert. You will have all the time in the world to do what is right. There is no limit to time when it comes to that. That is why you should always choose the right. Also, like he says, it will become easier with practice. For example, you might have a hard time helping your mother with chores or you might have trouble doing your homework, but the more you do it, the easier it will become. You will be doing the right things at the right time, without even noticing it, or you might notice it, but you realize now, that it is easier than before. Your conscience will always be clear when you choose the right, so don’t be afraid to do so.

Student Success Statement

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, then to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.”
Robert E. Lee
I think that Robert is right. It is better to suffer for just a moment and do what is right, than to suffer for a long time doing what is wrong. For example, if someone has committed a robbery or something like that, and they lie, then they will have a long period of suffering. They soon start to feel guilty and down because of what they did, but as soon as they tell a lie, the pain might be there for a few moments while they’re saying it, but their suffering will be gone. Always tell the truth and feel good, don’t lie and feel bad. Like the famous saying; it’s better to hear the bitter truth, than the sweetest lie.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”
French Proverb


I think that this statement is true. There is nothing better than to sleep with a clear conscience. If your conscience is not clear, then you will not live a peaceful life. You will be in regret or doubt, or any other emotion you might have toward something you did. It is best to clear up your thoughts and feelings towards what you did and be at peace. Nothing is better than going to sleep without anything on your mind or anything going on in your heart. Stay pure and don’t let things bring you down and mess you up.
