Student Success Statement

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly.”

Otto Graham, Jr.

Reflection: This statement by Otto Graham, Jr. is amazing because he talks about how we need to ask ourselves before we do anything if it is right or wrong. If it is wrong or right then we need to act accordingly meaning that we need to act right way if it's right or wrong. An example is if you are about to go to a party where you know for a fact that there is drugs going around at that party then you need to ask yourself if it's the right thing to go to that party or if it is the wrong thing. Once you have figured out if it's right or wrong then you need to act on it and not go to the party because it is wrong. Another example is if you are at home and you’re doing nothing and watching television and all of a sudden you remember there is homework due the next day then you need to ask yourself if what you are doing just sitting there is right or wrong. Once you figure out what you’re doing is wrong by just watching television and not doing your homework then you need to act accordingly and go do your homework. We need to ask ourselves before we doing anything if it is right or wrong. Then we act accordingly.
