Student Success Statement
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."
Abraham Lincoln
Reflection: It doesn't matter if you win of loose as long as you did it with honesty and complete fairness. But when he says that he stands with anybody that is right and leaves them when their wrong just makes me think about friendship. If someone stuck with you through everything, that means they're real friends but when they leave you when you make a mistake, that's not true loyalty.
If you care about someone, you have to stick with them even when they don't' make the best decisions because you have to be there to fix them and guide them, not just "part ways."
You stick with people you care about, even when they start trailing off the right road, you just don't leave. So in that case, I don't agree with him.
