Student Success Statement

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

George Mitchell

Reflection:

Even though this quote is directed towards sports it can be used as a reference in everyday life. This quote is telling us that if you cheat it will not be worth the guilt that you will carry as weights on your back for the rest of your life. No matter how bad you want the victory right now it will not be worth the guilt you will feel in the future. At the end of the day you want to be able to say whatever victory you accomplished was done out of your strengths and you didn't need to cheat to accomplish it. By cheating not only do you lose self respect but you also lose respect from others. For example if you really want to get a good grade a test so you cheat to do it, the guilt will eat you and make you confess to what you did. Another example would be if you want to win a sport game but you use steroids to do it then you fans will not longer adore in you or much less believe that you are capable of winning by your own strengths. Cheating is never the answer as all it brings is consequences. Cheating causes all the accomplishments you achieved yourself seem as though you cheated on them as well. So if you ever decide to cheat ask yourself ‘Is it really worth it?’.
