Student Success Statement Sophocles

Student Success Statement

 "I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

Sophocles 

Reflection: This should be what everyone should think because we should rather fail a test than cheat. We should rather not win in a sports game than use steroids and enhance our performance. If we do the opposite of what we should do then the consequences will be much worse you can be shameful, regretful and humiliated.
