The Courage of Integrity

The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity, choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity...these are the choices that measure your life.  Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

And so the young woman from California stood before the microphone and answered the question put to her in the only manner she could.  Understanding her answer would not be popular, she looked inside herself and remained true to her beliefs.  She was in the spotlight with no place to hide, it would have been easy to cop out, to give the 'correct' answer, but integrity is a funny thing.  It's doing the right thing when nobody is looking, and doing the right thing when everybody is looking.
