Student Success Statement
"Obedience is the great test of life."
-Thomas S. Monson

I feel like this is a quote everyone should live by because it is not only important for yourself, but for everyone. Imagine if everyone followed the rules to no kill, do drugs, or hurt other people? The world would be so much better, but we don't. That is why be have murders and homicides. People do not obey the rules and that is why they do what they do. If you are obedient, you shouldn't have any type of problem in life, and this is what this great man is trying to tell us, but we do not listen.
