Student Success Statement

“I would prefer to even fail with honor than win by cheating”

-Sophocles

          This quote is trying to tell us that it is always best to be honest and that being a cheater is wrong. If you win by cheating it isn’t the same as winning honestly. It would always be better to lose honestly over winning by cheating. Say you are taking the final set of exams in highschool. You know that you will probably fail the tests because you never paid attention in class so you choose to write a cheat sheet and hide it from view. You may pass the exams with flying colors but you won’t be passing honestly. It would be so much better is you would fail the test but know you didn’t try hard enough so that next year, you can retake the test and be prepared
