Student Success Statement 

Expediency asks the question 'Is is politic?'

Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

Cowardice asks the question 'Is is safe?'

But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' and there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther king, JR.

When You Tell One Lie 

Paul Hatch 

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other 

Then you tell three lies and, Oh brother 

You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell five lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies folks wont suspect you 

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect 

A life filled with worries and fear

'Cause you cant remember how many lies you've told 

And half the things you say aren't true 

And sometimes you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then 

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying 

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying 

'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying 

Then you'll be 

Suspected 

Detected 

Rejected 

Neglected 

Disliked 

And you should!

When you lie, you're closing the door 

On everything good
