Student Success Statement

“ I have been asked what I mean by “word of honor”

I will tell you; Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another i might be able to escape, but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No, never i’d die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

I like this quote. This quote means that if you give someone your word you need to follow your word. For example if you tell someone that you are never going to lie to him or her that’s exactly what you need to do never lie. If you give you word you need to do what you say because if you don’t do it, it makes you look like a liar that doesn't have word. For Mr. Maeser the word of honor was the most important thing on his live because no matter what he would always follow his word he prefer to die before breaking his word.
