Word of honor

“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 that circle? No, never! I’d die first.” - Karl G. Maeser

This long statement means that word of honor is about being a man of your word. If you say you’re going to do something, then you are going to do it. This should be something that everyone should do. For example, if you give your word of honor to your group you will do your part, you should do it. Firstly, you said you would and since you did not do your part of your group you will get a lower grade. This applies not only to the school, but also to everyday life. Such as if you make a promise to a friend or family member you should keep it.
