Student Success Statement
“A promise must never be broken.”
Alexander Hamilton
Reflection:
What Mr.Hamilton means by this statement is that many things in this life can be broken but a promise is something that should never be broken. At any extent you come to you should never break a promise. When you make a promise you are giving your word, people will count on you. A word is the most powerful thing you can give. An example of this if you tell your friend you are going to be at a certain place to volunteer but don’t show up then you will have broken a promise. However an example of not breaking a promise is if you promise your mom you will stay home and study but then get invited out by your friends but decide to study instead. When you break a promise to someone the pain you give them hurts the most. Breaking a promise will make you feel guilty for the rest of your life. By breaking a promise people start to lose respect for you and will no longer trust you. If you break a promise why should people keep the promises they make towards you?
