Student Success Statement By Alan Paton 

"When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive."  

 

It might have been a broken promise or a heartbreak that hurt you so much that you still remember how it hurt to this day.  The only way we can recover from that situation and move on with our live is to forgive the person. Forgive them even if it hurts you more than the actual injury because it is one step towards to your freedom. Once you learn to forgive people you feel lighter because you took a burden off your back.  If you were in a relationship that you thought was going to last forever and your partner ends up breaking every promise saying he'll never give up on you, then learn how to move on from that. Maybe it wasn't meant to be and greater things are arriving your way.  Think of it as one building block that you had to leave behind in order to get to the other block that heads to the top of the tower. You should also think as it wasn't that big of a deal so if you forgive him it wouldn't mean as much as you thought it would.  

Student Success Statement By Theodore Roosevelt 

" In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."  

  

Do you ever have those times where you have to make a difficult decision between the right or what you think is right. Imagine you are at the store and you are really craving some Ferraro Chocolate. Trust me I've been in this situation. Imagine making the decision of buying the chocolate or buying what your mother told you to buy for example bananas. You might spend 30 minutes thinking about how to buy both of the items of just buy the chocolate and tell your mom there was no bananas. Even though you will pay her back for the chocolate it is not the right thing to do because what if she really needed the bananas to make that cake for this one occasion. This is where this statement applies and will apply for any other situation between right or wrong. Sometimes my temptations win over what is right and that brings me no good so every time I'm in this issue I think about how there is always a tomorrow and I can get what I want the next day if I do get a tomorrow. There is no right in trying to steal something because you can't get it the right way. Why steal what you want and feel bitter than buy it with integrity and make it taste twice as better than it was.
