Student Success Statement

“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’

But, conscience, asks the question ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells on that it is right.”

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote is trying to say that many other sorts of customs and mentalities ask things of certain situations. There are spots in your mind that ask questions about things, whether you should do them or not, even if they’re not right. One day there will come a time where you must choose something, not because it is safe, politic, or popular, but because it is the right thing to do.
