Student Success Statement

“I think it is better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, that to incur the reproach of our consciences.”

Robert E. Lee

It is better to do the right thing even though it hurts us because then we don’t have to change our conscience into doing something wrong or thinking about doing the right thing. What this statement is trying to tell us is to always choose the right because once we start doing the right thing, it gets easier for us to do it. Most people don’t like choosing the right because they think it’s either too hard. An example would be like when someone is asking for money and you either give some of your of keeping walking away. Though if you choose the right thing you would help this person out and avoid your conscience telling you what the right is.
