"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right." -Brigham Young Reflection: This quote is 1000% true because when you do right then you know nothing will go bad because you are in fact doing the right thing. If you continue to do good then you will not have to worry or even think about having issues with the police or anything really going bad because you are doing good. That is something you will get out of doing good which is nothing going wrong. You will also become more happy and more at peace with yourself. Not having to depend on some one is something that every ones should do. If you want something then you work for it and put your time and effort and not take any short cuts. You will in fact be happy that you were honest with yourself which is something everyone wants. When you do right then you will get your freedom and your independence. An example will be when you come to school. If you are late then they will take your freedom away by taking your lunch time away. You decide to come late then you have to pay the consequences by not being able to hang out and chat with your friends and have a good time. Instead you will be sitting with all they other kids that are late and that those the wrong and watch the people on the quad that chose the right and came to school on time.

"They're only truly great who are truly good." -George Chapman Reflection: I think that this quote is true because when one does good they are great. You cannot title yourself great when you do not do good. It is something you need to earn. Some may not even do it to be called great but because it may make them feel better as a person. It actually does make you feel better about yourself when you actually do good because you just know that it is something that is good.
"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it." - George Mitchell, Senate Majority Leader, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Disney Chairman of the Board. Reflection: I think that this quote is 100000% true because if you take shortcuts that is not the way to go. Even though it might get you where you want to be which is good but you are doing it the dishonorable way. You have to take the long way even if it takes forever you will have to put hard work and dedication in to what you want and if you really want to get where you want to be then you have to earn it and make sure you do not cheat along the way or take any type of short cuts. You can do it on your own by being committed.
"I won't cheat" -Dale Murphy Reflection: I will not cheat in a game ever. I will go the honest way even if it takes twice as long. Cheating is not something that is cool it is dishonorable and 100% wrong. You should not even think about cheating because you might not get caught at first but later in the future. It is something that should not come to mind at all because it is choosing the wrong. By choosing the wrong you will not be happy at all with life and yourself. You should always be honest 100% of the time.
"Character Matters Most." - Dale Murphy Reflection: I wont cheat on any of my exams. I wont cheat to win a game. I wont cheat to be cool. I wont cheat period. It is always wrong and the best thing to do is have character. When you have character then you won't cheat. A person that does not cheat has good and honorable character. It is something that we should all do because if not then you will become a CTW person and that is not something you want. You will be sad and you will not have any friends because they know you are a liar which is something you do not want in life. You want to live a happy life and by having a happy life you want to choose the right 100% all the time no matter where and when. Even if every one is against you but you are doing the right it should stay that way.
"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of great use; a right heart exceeds all." - Benjamin Franklin Reflection: I think this quote is true because even though you might have great beauty and you might be rich doe not make you a good person. Having a heart and being kind beats anything else. You will happy by being rich do not get me wrong but that is only temporary and it might lead to depression. On the other hand if you are kind and have a right heart then you will be happy with yourself and you will always feel positive and you probably would like to spread that positive vibe to everyone to make the world a better place. Having heart is greater than being rich or having fame because it makes you feel more joyful and it makes you appreciate life a lot more than a person with fame would. Sure you might not have the same things as a rich person has or fame but you will have heart. Its like the saying "It's not the size of the Chihuahua in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the chihuahua." "It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today." - James Freeman Clarke Reflection: I think that this quote is 1000% true because what ever you do now is what is going to determine your future. If you were to good and always choose the right then things will never go bad for you. That is just how things are. What ever it is, even if it's small it will eventually pay off in the future. It's called good karma and if will always comeback if you do something positive. You will also feel better about yourself as an individual. If you do bad things like do drugs or smoke or drink and do not go to work then life will not go good for you and that is something you do not want for your life. You want to always do good and do what is right because it is and always will be the right thing to do.
"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly." - Otto Graham, Jr. Reflection: I believe this quote is true because when ever you make a decision, you have to tell yourself if what ever you're going to do is the right thing or the wrong thing. No matter how small or big the effect is on your action it has to always be right and not wrong. By choosing the wrong you will begin to feel guilty and will not be at peace with yourself. It will haunt you and you will be sad instead of happy which is not what you want or seek for. Once you choose the right you feel so much better and will not have to think about it because you know that you have done the right thing and it was truly matters. If you do the right then you will live a better life. By making the right decision tell yourself that you did a good job.
"Act well your part; there all honor lies." - Alexander Pope Reflection: This quote is true, you should always do the right thing and not cheat because you will feel honorable if you do the right thing and that is something to look forward to which is to do the right thing all the time. By not doing the right thing and the honest thing then you will always feel guilty and not happy which is something you do not want. It is something that will haunt you for the rest of your life so in order t0 prevent that you should do the right thing all the time. If you do the right thing then you will be happy and feel more proud because you did the right thing. Like the little league baseball team "Jackie Robinson West" who cheated by using kids that were not in the same area. The team won second but was stripped due to the violation. It was mainly the coaches faults because they said it was okay to do what they did. The kids just wanted to play baseball but the coaches knew it was wrong and that is awful and dishonorable.
