Student Success Statement

“The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”

Margaret Chase Smith

I think that this quote means that sometimes the right thing to do is not the popular choice or the easiest choice and it is a great achievement to commit to this right thing when it is not popular or easy. You don’t see many examples of this nowadays since doing the right thing is becoming a natural and popular action, especially in Los Angeles. You may not realize it, but think about how our society has changed since ten or twenty years ago. We have seemed to have gotten better at common courtesy and having respect for ourselves and others.
