Student Success Statement 

Summary: The story was about Abraham Lincoln and how he mad e a ver ylong living promise. When his mother was sick he had promised her he would never drink whiskey or smoke cigarettes as long as he lives. And since that day he promised he had never smoked nor drank. One day he goes on a trip with a man and the man offers him a drink and to smoke. He refused and still kept his promise. I think by keeping this promise it made him a better person and stronger. In my opinion that is a good way to tell someone you care about them and show how strong your integrity is. I think it relates to me because ive made promises with people befiore that have been important and i havent broke as well. 

      

Student Success Statement 

"Let us have faith that right makes right, and in 

that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty

as we understand it." 

Abraham Lincoln 

I Think the quote is trying to say that once we know we are doing right then we are doing the right and in the end we are going to be doing a nice duty. We need to have faith in order to know whats right and whats wrong. Led us to the end where we have done our duty of being a good person and doing right things. I really think this is what the statement means. For example in order to do good in our everyday lives then we need to have faith in what we do in order for it to be right.
