Student Success Statement

“If your so called friends argue you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.’’

By: Thomas A. Monson

This statement is telling us to make sure that if we believe in something to speak out and make others see the way we actually think. Many of us don’t have the courage to stand up and speak for ourselves. If we don’t have the courage to stand up for ourselves then we really need to work on that because it makes us look much better when we speak up for what we actually believe. Once we speak up then we will be an example for others whom like us were scared at first. For example, when we see someone getting getting bullied of being teased we should show them that they need to speak up so they understand what they are doing isn’t correct. When we are with our friends we do things because we want to be like them but what we don’t realize is that we are only doing bad. For example sometimes friends pick on other kids and we don’t say anything about it for the reason that we want to fit in and that isn’t correct because we are being as mean as they are. All it takes to stand up is courage with us speaking up  weather its for us or a friend it is still good because now we  are the leaders for the other people who get shy and nervous to speak up for them selves. If we don’t speak up then we won’t be a leader we will be just like the other kids.
