Student Success Statement: Abraham Lincoln

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

This quote shows us how much we think winning is a limit in a game, that all we care about is winning. In this case being right and getting what you want. The point of winning is when you play with character. When you are being a piece in the game and you earn your spot. You play for it, with pride and you fight for your spot. If you don’t work for your spot, and you don’t play fair, there are consequences that come within it. I want to be someone that plays fair, and earns their spot. Not for anybody else but for me. I want to fight for my spot for me, because i deserve it. Not because i want it, and it will be handed to me. Life doesn’t work that way, i don’t think it should be that way for anyone. If we don’t work hard for our spot, what’s the point of having it when later on you will get bored with it. Then you want something else, i’m not saying it’s a bad thing to change your mind. Im saying to be true to yourself.
