They’re Right

Student Success Statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.” This was a quote once stated by the former president of Notre Dame, Theodore Hesburgh. I think that Theodore is trying to emphasize that you should make a decision based upon how approriate or right your choice is. You shouldn’t choose something that bores you or is not to your interest, you should make the decision that both is right and fascinates you. For instance, if your so called friends ask you to smoke with them because the most popular kids are going to be there but you are uncomfortable and you still say yes, it is wrong. You schould always choose the right. You should remove yourself from those friends and do something beneficial for yourself. I personally agree with Theodore Hesburgh also. I agree because choosing choosing what is popular is very silly.
