Student Success Statement: Alexander Hamilton

“ A promise must never be broken. “- Alexander Hamilton

I agree with Alexander when he states this quote. I believe in promises, we make promises all the time even if we may not see it. We give hope to other people or make people believe we will follow through with our word. But sometimes we can’t, or we forget. I’ve learned to never promise someone anything if you are not sure. Don’t make a promise to a person while you know that you won’t do it. We give hope to people but when we don’t do it we make ourselves look untrustworthy. We make ourselves look like liars and bad people. We need to understand the meaning of making a promise. It's  more than just words, it's giving them the reassurance and  you giving them permission to trust you. When we break our promises we show that we are not valuable. And many people depend on us when we make a promise.
