Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."
B.C Forbes

Reflection: I believe honesty is a big part of someone's personality. It not only defines you as a person, but also allows you to be better than others who aren't following this path.What came across my mind because of this quote, is that selflessness will be it's own reward. With honesty. you will feel better about many situations. For example, there was once a man who stole money from a Sears store and he never felt comfortable with himself until the day he decided to be honest and paid the store the money he took from the store decades ago. Moral of the story, is that choosing honesty is choosing the right.
