Student Success Statement By Dennis Prager 
" The most important thing you will ever have is good values." 


              Having good values and having good manners are a total different subject. One thing is saying verbal expressions like 'thank you" and "please" and the other is having moral beliefs that make you who you are. For example choosing between what you feel and what is right. In the video shown they presented an example where you have to choose between saving your dog or a human stranger. In my perspective I would have saved the dog because they dog is a part of my life and ,y future but he right thing to do would be saving the human because it just makes sense I don't know. Probably because you got the person killed if you save your dog instead of the person. Some good values that is is crucial to have is honesty, kindness. and respect. 

Student Success Statement By: Theodore Hesburgh

" My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are nasty, you don't make them because they are cheap, and you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they are right."


       Bad influences are all around us we can either go after them or stay with our own influence, which is doing the right thing always. When you are at a party and they offer you drugs don't say yes because you want to be popular or want to seem cool. Say no because it is the right decision and you know that drugs are bad for you in a variety of ways. besides why make a decision that is considered the easiest route when it can lead you to something worse than taking the hard decision. Sometimes when we choose to do something because it is simple it is usually cheap and has no value. That is why it is better to try your best doing the right thing.

"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.
