" I WON'T CHEAT" 
                             
                            It doesn't, matter if you cheat on a test or if you cheat on a game, cheating is cheating and it is not right. Many people get away with cheating and think it is ok to do it again, but eventually it will catch up to you and the consequences will be bigger. It is rather true when you cheat you are cheating yourself, because in a test and in a game you are being tested for what you know so what if you are thought better than you are. People will expect you to be better and that won't be good because you hardly know what you did. That is if you want to do the right thing you should not cheat and do your best. 

“ Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG is NEVER RIGHT”

                          

This quote by Russell M. Nelson, is one of many lessons he tries to teach about right and wrong. Wrong is always going to be a bad decision, it is not right to believe if you smoke, cheat, or lie it is okay because everybody is doing it. This is a dumb thing to believe because the consequences you will face are so much different than everyone else’s consequences. If you smoke because your friend did, you will probably end up in the hospital and die because the effect of the drug was different. That is why you have to think about what you are risking when you choose to do the wrong thing everybody is doing. An example I can think of is when the teacher leaves the room and you are taking a test. Everyone would start asking for the answers of the test. That is a situation you are willing to risk, rather not do what everyone else is doing or tag along. I think it is a greater test to see if you are a CTW or CTR person. If you choose to not cheat your conscience is cleaner than the ones who did. Probably you will be granted and probably you will not, the greatest gift is knowing you chose the right.

“ Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual, well-being.”    Mr. C. S. Haymore

                 

As much as we think it is not our responsibility to take care of our mind, body, and spirit, we are the only ones that can prevent things from damaging us. If we let bad influences come between us, our spirit is not the only thing that would be affected. Once one of the three is not balanced everything falls apart. Yes, having a bad influence ruins your spiritual conscience, but it also ruins your body if you let bad influences pressure you to do harmful things to your body. No body in life is responsible for what happens to you but yourself. You make the decision of not eating but doing drugs instead,  you make the choice to cheat in a test. Little by little you are not only harming yourself but you are harming the people that love you and what to see you succeed in life. That is why if you want to benefit your body and mind you start of with doing good and taking care of yourself. We can not control what happens around us but we can control what is to become of us.

“It’s better to be alone, than to be with bad company”

Being alone can mean a lot of things, you can be alone but have a lot of people around you, or you can be alone but have just that 1 person, or you could be alone and have nobody. Whichever the problem is, it is always better to be alone than with bad company, because later on in life having bad company includes fake people, and bad reputations. If you hang out with people who drink and party all the time people would see you as one of them even if you don’t drink. Having bad company can influence you to do the wrong choices you can not take back. So instead of having bad people surrounding you, it is a lot better to be alone or associate with good people who actually want to see you succeed in life. However, you cannot be lonely if you like the person you are alone with. I mean if you are happy about yourself you can have fun by yourself. You can become a better person by choosing the right and be with good people.
