"My basic principle is 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 agree with this reflection for the reason that decisions should be made because they are right not because they are popular or poor decisions. Everyone must know the difference between right and wrong and base their decisions on that. This also goes back to the last student success statement we did about how we should make bad choices unpopular and good choices popular. This goes to say that everyone should understand when they are doing wrong. everyone should understand when they are doing right as well. If everyone understood the difference then we would not have to worry about people making poor choices in life. And maybe even then we could all learn to become one and there will not be so much hatred in the world.

"Education is the latch key to success in life"

Gordon B. Hinckley

In my opinion this quote means that without an education our life will be harder. And we want our life to be easy without many bumps in the road. So we should be glad to have an education because there are kids in other places in the world that want to learn. School isn't hard unless you make it hard. You also make your life as hard as you want it. Stop thinking about your past and start thinking about your future. With a good education you will get a good job. With a good paying job you can get  a nice house. Probably even have a wife and kids. You want to have money to buy yourselves things you want. STOP depending on your parents and START depending on yourself.
