"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing whats right."

-Brigham Young  

If you always choose the right, you'll always have freedom and independence. Doing whats right, comes back to you in a positive way. Choosing the wrong affects you negatively. An example of a of doing something thats right would be volunteering at a retirement home. This is an example of choosing the right because you're helping others instead of getting into trouble. This wouldn't affect your independence or freedom. An example of something that would affect your freedom and independence would be if you get detention everyday or almost everyday. You can enjoy your freedom and independence if you always choose the right, you wont have to worry about it being taken away. 

"They're only truly great who are truly good."

-George Chapman

This quote is saying that in order to succeed, you most be good. Be good to others, be good to yourself, etc. People who live by this quote re ctr people. If you always ctr, you will always succeed. These people never cheat, lie or consume drugs. They do not follow the crowd, they walk alone sometimes because its better than walking with the wrong company. They never feel the urge to do these things because they re smart and they know that ctw will bring repercussions 

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse than a cheater. Dont do it."

-George Mitchell

We think cheating will get us out of situations that are difficult, when in reality we worsen them when we cheat. When you cheat you might be so nervous because you dont want to get caught or just the thought of you not being honest makes you feel that way. Cheating is wrong, it can cause many repercussions. If you ever cheat on any sport, all "your" achievements will go down the drain along with your reputation. When this occurs everyone sees you as a cheater for the rest of your life. You can cheat on your math, English, science test or even your SAT, if they do find out you can get in trouble and it will go on your record. Whenever you try to get a job, your employer will see that you cheated and there is a possibility that he/she will not give you the job for this reason. The choice to cheat it yours, you have the ability to accomplish something without cheating your way through life. It will take hard work and determination but if you want to take the easy way out go for it and watch your life slowly fall down to pieces.

"I wont Cheat."

-Dale Murphy 

Cheating is bad and its wrong. When you cheat, you are lying to yourself and to others around you. Cheating isn't going to get you anywhere, sooner or later someone will catch you. You can get suspended, lose your degree, fined, or even put in jail, it all depends on what you cheated on. You can cheat all through high school, college, medical school or whatever school you go to and you might not get caught. But you eventually will. When the truth comes out, you will no longer have a degree in the field you had and you will be put in jail. Is cheating really worth it ? NO of course its not. Be honest and work hard to achieve good things in life. 

"Character Matters Most."

-Dale Murphy 

The way you act towards your family, friends and everyone around you is important. It shows who you are as a person. If you always choose the right, you have good character. A person who always chooses the right is always respectful, responsible and cares about others. People use your character/ the way you act to define you. To show good character, you must act with good intentions. 

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick’s Day is always on March 17. It is a day to honor St, Patrick, The saint of Ireland. This day be was just a religious feast day but now it's celebrated around the world with a variety of festivals. It is celebrated with Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and with a lot of green.. We wear green to symbolize spring and Irish culture.  Patrick had many illusions; one of them was the shamrock. It’s a certain type of clover sacred to the druids. This was his symbol of the Trinity.  St. Patrick is honored on this day because he dedicated his life to teach the gospel 1,600 years ago. He also got many people to have faith in Christ.

"Great beauty, great strength and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all." 

-Benjamin Franklin 

You dont need money, make up, jewelry, fancy clothes or anything to make you beautiful or a great person. All you need is a good heart. You can be the richest person in the world and own the world itself but you'll still be miserable and you might still be considered a bad person. You cant feel good if you dont do good. If you have a heart of gold, all you're going to worry about is helping others and doing things for others before you do things for yourself. A person with a good heart you will always look good in the eyes of the ones who want and received help from that person who helped.

"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today." 

-James Freeman Clarke

 

Our actions/decisions determine our future/destiny. If we choose the path of greatness, kindness, well being, hard work we'll eventually be successful, only if we proceed. But if we choose the opposite path, our hopes, dreams and reputation will go down the drain with us. For example everything went down the drain for the young boy James Homes. He decided to go to a movie theater and to take his gun with him. He began to shoot the people in the movie theater. This boy was a straight A student and he could have been very successful but he had poor decision skills. Thanks to that he is now going to be in jail for the rest of his life. You have to think about things before you actually do them. Stop and think about what you want to do. If it is not the right thing to do, dont do it. Wrong is never, ever right. Dont think you'll get away with it because you wont. Be careful when making decisions because they represent you and they represent your future. They shape you into the person youll become. Yes we all make mistakes but we do know when something is wrong and when something is right.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly."

-Otto Graham, Jr.

You should think about things before actually doing them. If you know its wrong, don't do it. Choosing the wrong will only bring you ramifications. An example of choosing the wrong would be cheating on a test or assignment. If you don't know the answer to the problems or you just don't know what to do its mainly your fault.You probably didnt study or pay attention when your teacher was showing you how to do it. Cheating on the test would be wrong. You would be lying to yourself and to your teachers. Cheating can have repercussions.    

"All well your part;there all honor lies." 

-Alexander Pope 

This quote is saying that Your actions determine your reputation. Your reputation determines who you are. You're doing whats right If you're helping your family, friends, classmates and anyone else, it makes you an honorable person.Treat other the way you want to be treated.  If you act good, you deserve to be treated good.  If you respect others, others will respect you. Appearance and power does not matter. Age and height does not matter either. All that matters is the good deed you did. It could of been a very small one or a very large one but you did it so that will bring honor to your name.

"If you do whats right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of."

-Rachel Castillo

If you do whats right, good things will come your way. For example, Rachel found $36,000 and she returned it. She could've kept it but she did the right thing, which was to give it back. Someone who always chooses the right does not think about what they'll get in return, they do it for the well being of others and because it is the right thing to do.
