“ True independence and freedom can only exist in doing                  what’s right”.     

Brigham Young

This is a very self explanatory quote from Brigham Young , the reason for that is because it has a deep meaning in doing what is right. When you decide to make poor decisions you will sooner or later suffer the consequences of your actions. When you decide to make good decisions you will be able to be independant and people will be able to rely on you. Choosing the right not only benefits  you but in the long run you will be known and seen as a good responsible person. It is always important for you to choose the right because it will bring peace and happiness into your life. You will feel a great satisfaction and you will feel good about yourself. People will be able to trust you and see you as a responsible student and person. You will be able to complete tasks and live a better life.

  “They’re only truly great who are only truly good.”

                               George Chapman  

                         

This statement by George Chapman is an inspiring statement because it is true that only the people who are great are good . The people who speak bad language,lie,steal, or cheat are not good. Those are the kind of people that will not let you reach success. The people who strive you to do better are the ones you should keep close to you because those are true friends. Not everyone you associate with are good people . For example if you meet a classmate and you both end up being really good best friends and he influences you to do the wrong then he/she ar not good friends. The real friends are the ones who will encourage you to do better and want to see you succeed in life. I honestly try to talk to my friends and tell them that they can be whatever they want to be that nothing is impossible and I know that has influenced their lives. It is never too late to change bad habits , it is  never too late to turn the other way and say I want a better life for myself. Nothing good in life comes easy you need to work for what you want and live up to  your dreams .

Reflection: As i researched this career I found this work field very interesting. I have always been interested in the fashion field and I want to study art once I go to a university.  This career is a very relaxed career and you get paid decent. I do not want to work in the field and it isn't because I don't like it it is simply because I prefer to major in the art and psychology field.

    “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

                        

Many people believe that cheating only for a short term period is not wrong. Cheating affects you sooner or later and that is the simple truth. Often times people try to fool themselves by saying there is nothing wrong with cheating but that is a foolish lie that no one should believe. When you cheat sooner or later it will catch up to you and it will affect you. For example if you cheat on a test and you score  perfect score and later on you have to work on something in your career and it turns out to be a life and death situation you will be stuck and you will suffer just s much as the other person because you lied about something you didn't know. If you want to be successful the only way to do that is to study and work hard for your goals and you will see the great things you can accomplish by doing the right thing. I try my best to study and to get all my work done because I know I am capable of being successful.

“ I won’t cheat “

               

                          Dale Murphy

This statement is very inspiring , the reason for that is because it teaches a valuable lesson about doing the right thing and not cheating just to win. I have seen many people cheat and I know that is wrong . Even if it is the easiest way out of something cheating will eventually affect you in a long run. If you are conflicted with personal problems with either school, work, or in your life the best thing to do is to try your hardest to get out of it . When you are about to take a test you should not have the mentality of i'm going to cheat instead you should study hard for that test so you can actually learn something out of it. Murphy is a great example of a good person who chooses the right , he never chose to abuse substances just so he would be able to play better. He chose to stick to doing the right thing even if it meant not winning, I admire those who work hard for what  they want and will not stop until they achieve greatness. I will work hard in school and never stop trying until I am where I want to be . Even when I reach my goals I will make more goals for myself and achieve them slowly but surely.

   “Character Matters Most “  

                                   Dale Murphy

                      

This statement is very true because what really matters most in a person is their character. I truly believe that character is what matters most and the reason for that is because people will mainly know you for what kind of attitude you have towards them and towards others. I have met many people that have a bad character and all they can think about is themselves . When a person shows me they have a well loving character I appreciate that person and that is when I know I would like to spend more time with them to get to know them better. I try my best to have a positive attitude towards the people i'm around such as my friends, family, and my peers. I like to show them that I stand out rather than act the same as many people tend to act. Character matters most because the way you treat others is the way they are going to treat you.
