Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

"Dare to stand alone."
So many people now a days are afraid to make their own choices. Out of peer pressure they decide not to do what's right and decide to be a follower. There is a fine line to when you can be a follower. If you are following someone who makes good choices, is studious, and kind then that is amazing. Go ahead and follow all you want. When your friends want you to do something illegal with them or just bad then you shouldn't be friends with those people. They will only lead you to trouble. Besides who likes being a follower anyways. You should be the leader and be the one to stand up and make good choices.

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."

I agree with this statement because as much as you may think you may be doing the right thing if it's wrong it's wrong and vice versa. Chances are if you're questioning your actions you are choosing the wrong.

"Obedience is the greatest test of life."
I do not agree with this because there are far more greater things to worry about than obedience.

Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

"Our very business in life is not to get ahead of others... but to get ahead of ourselves."

This quote means that we should not pay to others. The only thing we should focus on is ourselves and think of ways we could be better people.

“Decisions determine destiny.”

Thomas S. Monson

This quote means that anything you do determines your future. Only you can decide how your life will be like. For example if you decide you want to use drugs and alcohol it’s your own life you are affecting. If you decide you want to go to college you will most likely have a good future ahead of you.
