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.  

                     “When you tell One Lie it Leads to Another”        

If you ever told a lie you know what this quote is trying to prove, because when you tell a lie you are not only lying about that 1 thing, you have to make up more lies to cover up that small lie. Even if it was just lie about who ate the last cookie. You obviously would say it was not you, it was your baby brother. Haa that would be funny because what if your baby brother can’t walk you have to make a lie for that reason to. When you make up one lie people start to question if you are trustworthy or not. You start to realize you have less friends and people don’t want to include you in secrets because they think you are a big mouth. When you choose to do the wrong thing there would always be consequences and the truth would eventually come out. The thing is you are only doing the right when you choose to accept your consequences and tell the truth. In my experience saying the truth could be hard because you know that when that truth comes out you would be in big problems, but when that day comes you would be glad you told the truth because you won’t be drown in that guilt you had for so long. However, there is this quote that goes like this “you could choose your sin, but you could not choose your consequences” so whatever you think is bad don’t do it because covering up that mistake with lies would just leave you with remorse.
