“My basic principles isn't that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

(Former President of Notre Dame)

I believe this quote by Theodore is right. One must always choose to make the right decision because it correct. When making a decision one must not look into it and see whether it's cool, or not. They must just look and see then think “is this the right choice." One should not do things to fit in but to stand out. Choosing the right isn't always easy or cheap or popular but what always matters is that it is right. An example is cheating on a test to look smart. To your teachers you may look super smart but that is not right, to cheat and look smart, and receive a good grade. Rather try your hardest and study and do something correctly and honestly because that will pay off. You'll get the help you need and in the future you'll know it all, unlike if you cheat. Your teachers will assume you go the lesson and you'll never learn. A lot of people do things to look cool or look right. When in reality they are doing things wrong and hurting themself. Choosing right from wrong will come with many obstacles and things, but if you do right in the end it will pay off.

“Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation.”

Theodore Roosevelt

      I believe that this quote has a very strong meaning behind it. I think this quote means that you as a person controls what you do, but as everyone together, we control our future. Our decisions today can affect the lives of others. Our decisions can affect the younger generations. They will have a great impact as of what we do for ourselves either good or bad. There is a lot of CTR people in this world. All those CTR people are being good citizens, but like always we don't live in an idyllic world, where everyone is picture perfect. But WE chose that. There is CTW people in this world as well, but like this quote says, we have the power to say no, stop, etc. We are our own person, therefore we are responsible for choosing what's best and the outcomes of our choices. By educating your body mind & over all character, you're not only helping yourself but everyone one around you as well.
