Statement
“In any moment of
decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”
Theodore Roosevelt
Reflection: I think
it’s like when you have a choice to do something bad or good or semi bad/good.
To always do what’s good because that’s the best thing to do in a decision.
Like choosing to help my mom wash the clothes or going to my friend’s house
first. The best thing to do first would be to help out my mom~
