“Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of the body, the mind, and above all character, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation.”
-Theodore Roosevelt
The best thing we can do is educate the new generation because soon they will be the ones leading this world. We have to educate them not only for their mind, but their body and character as well. Character being the most important because what is the point of being the smartest person if you don’t know how to act around others. There isn’t a job out there that doesn’t require you to talk to others, at least I don’t know of any. You have to teach them the importance of always doing what is right even in hard situation. They need to know because soon the will make hard decisions for this country and we need to make sure they know what is the best choice and how to find it. For example, if they don’t know the moral of doing what is right they might even up making the wrong decision in the future that will lead this country to go down and end. It isn’t just necessary for you to have a great mind if you don’t have a great character to go along with it. This is a very important statement because I feel like adults usually look down at this generation when they shouldn’t because the future is on our hands. You shouldn’t look down at us and treat us like we don’t know what is happening because the life of this country is with us so don’t underestimate us.
