“Dare to stand alone.”

- Thomas S. Monson

This quote is short but very important. The reason why is because it tells you to do what is right, even though it means standing alone. You should stand alone because you know it’s the right thing to do. For example, if someone tells you to do drugs with them, then you should not. You should say that it is the wrong thing to do, and refuse to do it. You should stand up for what is right. You should do the correct thing, even if it means that you will get made fun of. Another example can be if a group of people say to ditch class. You should stand up and say that it is not right. You should tell them that they come to school to learn, and not be ditching. Even if they all disagree with you, you need to stand up for what is right. Even if you are standing alone. Many people may be scared of standing up, and standing alone, because they may think that they will get judged. To add on, they may think that they will get made fun of, for choosing the right choice, so they do not stand up for what is right. They do not dare to do it, like this quote says. This is not correct because you need to always do what is right, and not care if anyone makes fun of you. You should always make the correct choices. This is what I think this quote means, and why it is very important.
