Student Success statement "I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls- walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching even so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it.

Student Success Statement "Right is right only when entire" Victor Hugo This quote means to do right everyday of your life. For example, when I was in third grade we were learning about multiplication. I did understand them but for some reason the nines were hard for me. The next day i walk in to class and my teacher tells us that we have a multiplication test. I was nervous because I didn't understand the nines. We had thirty minutes to complete this test. He passed out the papers and we started. I did them all fast because I understood them but them I got to nine times nine. I didn't know what to do I was stressing out. After thinking about the answer over and over again, I decide to look at my partners paper to see what she got and I wrote it down. Even though I just copied one answer I was still being dishonest not only to the teacher but to myself as well.
