Student Success Statement  

"True independence can only exist in doing what's right." 

Brigham Young  

There are a lot of things that people want in this world.   The one thing that everyone truly wants and needs in their life is freedom.  Even though  a lot of people do not deserve this freedom because their actions do not show that they want it, everyone has the opportunity to obtain it.  If you want to be free and independent in life, you have to live the right way.  You cannot be free if you do not obey laws and rules that are in place to protect you.  You cannot be independent if you keep doing the wrong thing because that means that you are not capable of being responsible and that someone must always be watching over you.  For example, if you want to be independent and have a phone, you first have to prove to your parents that you are responsible enough to not take advantage of that phone.  It is important to do what is right, always.  Being able to be kind and do what is right is a true sign of independence, maturity, and freedom.
