Daily Student Success Statement  "True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."  - Brigham Young  Reflection:  I agree with this quote because true independence and freedom can only exist  in doing what's right. So do what's right because it's important to be independent and live freely once you start choosing the right. Like Brigham Young University students don't use bad language, they don't drink alcohol, and caffeine which includes coffee and soda which is so sad. But they resist temptations anyway. SO choose the right.

Daily Student Success Statement

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values." -Dennis Prager Reflection:  I agree with the fact that having good values should be everyone's priority. The first thing that should come to people's mind when they think of something that should be a top priority, is good values. Many people may think that money, health, happiness, or love are more important, but they are not. Although it's better to have money than to not, it still isn't as important as having good morals. Health is good because it keeps you alive, but having health and no good values is not a really good thing. Happiness and love are good but without good values you probably won't receive any of it. So know that although the other options seem better, they are actually not. It is better to be nice, honest, loyal and helpful than rich and healthy but mean and selfish. So like Dennis Prager said without good values, money, happiness, and love are not that good.
