"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape ;but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser

I think that honor is a very valuable thing because in honor lies truth. When you have honor you have truth and I think that is very important because everyone should tell the truth. No matter how bad the consequence will be. I think every one should have honor for whatever they value. For example, if they value their family or friends or anyone and anything then they should always honor them. I they keep a secret or a promise they should honor their word and never tell anyone and keep that promise. I would always honor what I love and care about because it is important to me and I value what belongs to me. I always try and tell the truth because I think it is the right thing to do.

"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.- Theodore Hesburgh I agree with this quote because many people make decisions because they are being influenced by the things or people around them. Other people make decisions because it's the right thing to do. they genuinely care about the outcome of the decision they are about to make. They want it to turn out right for them and for everyone. The people that are being influenced are the ones that don't really care about the decision they are about to make. I always try and make the right decision because I want the outcome to be good not only for me but for my surroundings as well.

"Its better to be alone than to be in bad company."

"Its better to be alone than to be in bad company." I think what this quote means is that its better to be alone that to have friends who have a bad influence on you. When you have friends who have bad influence on you then you might start to change and start to act like them because you w+ant to fit in and you don't want to disappoint them. I have had friends like that who acted horribly and disrespectfully to everyone around them even each other. I stopped being their friends because I didn't want that to happen to me and I noticed that i was changing and so did my family. I thought that if I acted like them I would fit in but then I realized that it doesn't matter if you fit in or you don't. I found new friends who pushed me to to my very best. My grades improved and I had people who actually cared about me and I had more friends because of it. I'm still friends with them to this day because we respect and care about each other. We are there for each ...
