Integrity

This video was about integrity  and it focused on Abraham Lincoln. He made a promise to his mom before she died that he would never smoke or drink. One day he was walking with his general, and the general told him to smoke or drink with him. Abe told him the story of his mom and the promise, and after he finished telling the story, the general have him his respect for keeping up with the promise no matter what. That is what integrity really is. Keeping up with your promises and always doing what you feel is the right thing to do, and that is exactly what Abraham Lincoln did. I always keep up with my promises and appointments.

Student Success Statement
Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question 'It is politic?'
Vanity asks the question 'Is is popular?'

But, conscience asks the questions, 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor
popular, but one must take it because one's 
conscience tells one that it is right.
-Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.

     This is a great quote by a great man. He is basically saying that you can be cocky,rude, disrespectful, but deep inside you always know that what you do is wrong and bad. Your conscience always wins over, and that is when you realize that all you have done is bad. He is stating that conscience is the only thing that makes us, humans.

Student Success Statement
"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."
-Abraham Lincoln

-I think what this amazing president means is that you should always do right, and doing right should be your most powerful weapon. If everyone used the power of being fair and just, there would be no problems in the world that we can't solve. We just need to understand that being right is all we need as a human to live long without conflict or wars.
