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

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection:
By this statement Mr.Roosevelt means that when you have a hard time choosing the decision you should always make is the right one. No decision that is right will be easy to make. You know a decision is right because it is hard to complete. A right decision should be made out of effort. We have all came to the point in our lives where we have to decide on doing what we really want or doing what we truly know is right. You should do what is right because if you do otherwise you will feel guilty for it and regret the decision you make. An example of this would be if  you find an expensive phone without a passcode but you know who it belongs to. You should return it because if you do not you will have a guilty conscious for the rest of your life. If you know something isn’t right then just don’t do it. It's better to wait then go through a lot of pain your whole life. Another example would be if you have to decide on studying for an important test or going out to have a fun time. It is better to stay home and study because you will gain nothing if you go out. When you make the right choice you will be rewarded with a higher prize than anything you can possibly think of. Peace of mind is the greatest reward. Nothing is gained for owing any expensive object.

Student Success Statement

“Of all the work that is done or 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

Reflection:

What Mr.Roosevelt means by this quote is that we can teach everyone any ordinary thing such as how to multiply or how to tie your shoes. The most important thing that should be taught is how to educate the BODY, MIND, and SPIRIT. An example of how to educate the body is different foods we need to eat to keep our body healthy, which will help our bodies fight of disease. Another thing that can be taught on how to educate the body is what the amount of exercise we need to accomplish that will keep our bodies fit. On the other hand an example on how to educate the mind is to teach us to view things in different point of views. Also an example on how to educate the mind is teaching us that we are our own people and do not need to be like everyone else. Lastly and most importantly we need to be taught on how to educate a good character. If you do not have a good character then the doors of opportunity will not open up to you because people will think that you are a bad person. A way to educate the character is showing us how to respect other people and to treat them as equals. Additionally another way to educate the body character is showing us not to judge people just by their looks without knowing their story.
