Student Success Statement: Theodore Roosevelt

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”-Theodore Roosevelt
   This quote means that if you ever need to make a decision if you choose the right thing then that’s the best thing you can do. If you choose what you think is the right thing to do then you shouldn’t have to worry about consequences. You should never let anyone or anything keep you from choosing the right thing. If you choose the wrong thing then you will have to be worrying about the consequences and constantly feel guilty. This is why if you ever have to make a decision, all you have to do is choose the right thing.


   There are many examples of how important it is to choose the right thing when making a decision. For example, you have a test the next day but you have been invited to a party, what do you do? The right thing to do would be to stay home and study in order to get a good score on that test. That will end up making your parents proud and you are able to continue to go out. The wrong thing to do would be to go to the party and fail the test the next day. That then leads you to be grounded and unable to go out for 2 weeks. Depending on what decision you choose to make, either right or wrong, will determine your future. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Theodore Roosevelt.
