"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to ______________________."

Student Success Statement (Be True)

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." - Abraham Lincoln

What this quote by Abraham Lincoln means to me is that we don't always win in life but we always have the option to be true. Being true is not lying nor cheating or doing anything you know is wrong in order to obtain success. We must work hard for the things we want and we must avoid those who have a bad influence over us.  Being true is always telling the truth and be honest about what you do, always be with those who choose to do the right, and avoid those who choose to do wrong, like people who choose to smoke weed, do drugs, be delinquents in society by breaking the law.
