"ASK YOURSELF IS IT RIGHT OR WRONG AND ACT ACCORDINGLY." -Otto Graham, Jr.

Image result for otto grahamThis quote does not make sense to me. Every student success statement is a version of this so I will answer accordingly. If living was as simple as knowing what is right or wrong, we would live in a better world with simple circumstances. But we do not live in a world like this, humans are not simple and decisions are not simple. Not everyone lives in such a privileged world that smoking a blunt is the height of their problems. Life gives us circumstances and obstacles. It is not always easy to know what is right or wrong. Not everyone has pure intentions. We all have different intentions and goals and we discover more "efficient" ways to get to them. Also what is the point of these student success statements? They are all the same just said by different people. It would be nice to write about some people who have actual meaning to the words they say.
