Student Success Statement By Theodore Roosevelt 

" In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."  

  

Do you ever have those times where you have to make a difficult decision between the right or what you think is right. Imagine you are at the store and you are really craving some Ferraro Chocolate. Trust me I've been in this situation. Imagine making the decision of buying the chocolate or buying what your mother told you to buy for example bananas. You might spend 30 minutes thinking about how to buy both of the items of just buy the chocolate and tell your mom there was no bananas. Even though you will pay her back for the chocolate it is not the right thing to do because what if she really needed the bananas to make that cake for this one occasion. This is where this statement applies and will apply for any other situation between right or wrong. Sometimes my temptations win over what is right and that brings me no good so every time I'm in this issue I think about how there is always a tomorrow and I can get what I want the next day if I do get a tomorrow. There is no right in trying to steal something because you can't get it the right way. Why steal what you want and feel bitter than buy it with integrity and make it taste twice as better than it was.  

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good and unpopular that which is unsound {not good}."  

          

Joseph Smith was a great religious leader of  the Mormon church and with that he was able to teach others to do good and be good. Though he said it is our responsibility to influence others to pass on the good characteristics. When we teach others the CTR is the right path we are giving them a gift for their everyday life. Once they start realizing choosing the right was the answer they are able to spread the word to others and make great decisions. We learn that giving fame to unsound things is obnoxious and nasty. That is we know that cheating is not right so why make it a trend in our lives when that isn't what you would like your child to do later on in life. If you wouldn't see somebody else do it, why do it yourself. Making honesty and integrity popular is the main focus or the main goal we should all try to achieve.
