Student Success Statement

“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 are right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

(Former President of Notre Dame)

Reflection:

What Mr.Hasburgh means by this statement is that the only thing that should influence your decision is if it is the right thing to do. When you make your decision based on CTR then it will always be the right choice and you will be happy. As we once learned the decisions we make will determine who we are. So if we make a good decision that will influence us to continue making the right choices which will shape us into good people. An example of this quote is if your mom tells you to clean your room and you will get rewarded. You should not do it for the reward but because it is the right thing to do. Another example is if you find a missing dog and decide to call the owner. The decision should not be made because of the money but because it's the right thing to do. In any decision you make it should not be made out of greed but because it's the right thing to do. I f you make your decisions off greed then you will feel rotten and regret it later. One thing you should remember when making a decision is when you do or say something you can never take it back so choose wisely.
