The Ultimate choice

Student Success Statement

The Ultimate choice

“Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others-the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make good decisions. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is:

To be a CTR Person- to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Reflection: Choosing the right affects you a lot but in a good way not in a bad way. It’s your responsibility to choose to do the right thing or to do the bad thing. You need to know all the consequences that you will face when you choose to do the bad thing. You may feel good about doing the bad thing right there in that moment or in that period of time but later on that will hunt you and you will definitely regret doing it. When you choose to do the right thing there will be nothing bad that will hunt you. You will never regret doing the right thing. When you do the right thing good things come towards you. I can grantee you this because I’ve lived it.
