Education

"Education is the latch key to success in life"
by Gordon B. Hinckley

This quote is important because having an education will open many doors for you to be successful. If you do not apply yourself and try your best to get a proper education you will not be successful in life. Having an education will set you apart from many other people and it can help you in many ways. Getting a job would be so much easier because you would have some kind of knowledge of what the job is requiring. Your education will set you apart from that other person that is applying for the exact same job and will land you the job because you have the proper education. Anyone would hire a person that got an education over the person that did not receive a proper education.

"Decisions Determine Destiny"

 "Decisions Determine Destiny"

By: Thomas S. Monson

This quote is saying that whatever decision you make it will affect your future one way or another. 

An example of this quote would be choosing to go to school or staying home and being lazy. If you stay home you will loose valuable information and fall behind, if you miss a lot you will be behind by a lot and that will affect your grades. If you do not perform properly this will affect you later on when you are trying to apply to your dream college.
