Student Success Statement By Thomas S. Monson 

"Dare to Stand Alone." 

 

As we grow older one of the thing we must realize is that no one ever keeps the same friends. Situations happen that make us or other drift away. And it is okay because sometimes we are the only thing we have left. Standing  up for what is right requires us to lose some people in our lives but gain millions when it comes to choosing the right.  The only thing you should remember is to not be afraid to stand alone because standing alone against thousands shows the power you hold within yourself. It is much more scary to stand with others who are wrong and do not have a future ahead of them then with someone who is simply looking at a crystal clear future. As Thomas said you should DARE to stand alone because not everyone can. Personally I am terrified to be alone but I prefer 100 x more to stand up for myself in a situations that requires me to choose the right.  

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. 

" It's a GREAT MOMENT when someone has the character to step up and do the right thing at the right time." Pam Knox 

There are some things in life that are worth standing up for. If you are in a situation where you have to think about what to do you should always think about what is the right action in that moment.  Having the motivation to do the right thing in a critical situation can help others and help yourself. When you do something good for someone you feel good about yourself and make great memories happen. For example if you see someone beating up a dog you shouldn't just stand there and pass by like nothing happened. Have the courage to stand up and tell the person to find help because harming an animal is just as worse as harming a person. Not only did you help save a life but you helped create a moment in your life that you will never forget and won't take for advantage.
