Summary:

This story is about a very kind and generous boy named Ian. In an Arizona diamond back game vs. Milwaukee brewers the baseball was blasted into the air and the crowd got wild. The ball was heading straight towards a little boy named Nickolas but another fan named Ian stretched his hand with his cap and caught the ball. The little boy Nickolas got so sad and Ian chose the right, and gave it back to him. Everyone was stunned by this generous act and press box was too. They decided to grant him with a baseball bat signed by his favorite baseball player and a contract of four tickets. This was very inspiring and it set an example for millions. This little boy chose the right and everyone was happy.

           Reflection:

The story of the little boy Ian was very inspiring. Little Ian chose the right by giving back the ball to the little kid Nickolas. He could have easily chosen the wrong but instead he chose the right and made everyone happy. No harm was done to anyone, but if he had of not close the wrong people were going to be sad. This shows that Ian is a very kind person and that he was raised and taught well at home. Ian chose the right and everything turned out good for him and the rest of the people. He inspired many people and showed that choosing the right is the correct thing to do.

What Socrates is saying is really true. Living right is more than just living. Living right brings good and positive things to you. Just living isn’t enough, you need to live right in order to be successful and prosperous. Living right is what matters because if you just live nothing good comes your way. Socrates is really inspirational and sends a really positive message through this statement.

“You are accountable for your choices”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

This statement makes total sense. Everyone is accountable for any choices or decisions you make. It’s up to you for your choices and it affects you. No one is accountable for your choices but yourself. You have to take responsibility for your choices and what you do. You either do bad or good choices up and your always held accountable for them. This is a great statement.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Statement

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”

Otto Graham Jr.

Reflection:

This statement has a lot of meaning. It’s up to you to do what’s right or wrong. Your decisions are what reflect from you. If you choose the  wrong you are labeled as a bad person and if you do the right your labeled as good and caring person. It all depends on you if you want to cheat yourself on doing the wrong or choose the right and follow the correct path. This statement clearly says that it’s up to you to act in a wrong way or in a right way. Choosing the right makes you a better person inside and out. It also reflects on you as a person and morals. Everyone should choose the right and be a better person.
