Student Success Statement

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing”

Theodore Roosevelt

What I think about this statement is that in life you are going to have two decisions either choose the right or choose the wrong but the best one is to always choose the right path for your life. For example if someone tells you do something bad like steal from someone are you going to do it or not. What path are you going to choose for the rest of your life the right or the wrong path? You should choose the one that is better for you.
