Student Success Statement:Brigham Young

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


This quote means that it is important to choose the right so that you can be independent. If you do what is right you will be trusted with freedom and be able to be independent. You won’t need to be depending on anyone for anything while you are choosing the right. If you choose the wrong you will not be able to be trusted with your freedom and will not be independent. You will have to be relying on someone all the time because of you choosing the wrong.

There are many examples of how important it is to choose the right in order to be able to be free and independent. For example, if you were to start smoking you will eventually become dependent on the substance. You will start to feel as though you can't function without it which will make you addicted to it. Another example would be something as little as cheating on tests in order to get good grades. You will eventually get stuck someday unable to copy anyone and what will you do then? Nothing because you will be so use to copy or cheating. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Brigham Young.
