"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when he body is healthy and strong." - President John F. Kennedy 

I disagree with this quote. i disagree with this because i have met and seen several people that are very intelligent yet they don't participate in physical activity. I, personally, don't exercise because my body gets tired very fast. I have participated in a sport for several years of my life, yet i have always gotten tired. This quote basically says if you get tired and weak from physical activity then your mind is weak and unable to work to its full capacity. I strongly disagree because the same way i have met people that don't exercise often and are very intelligent, i have also met people that exercise yet aren't very smart. At some point this quote is true but for several people that are physically unable to exercise this quote is almost disrespectful and degrading. This quote is true to some people, but that only depends on their mental and physical health.

Student Success Statement - 3/23/2018

"My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right." - Theodore Hesburgh  This quote is being said by former President of Notre Dame, Theodore Hesburgh. He is saying that all the decisions we make should be driven by the concept that the choice you are making is what is right. Many times people don't make decisions bcause it is the best choice but some people make them because it is what everyone else is doing. Just because everyone else is doing something it doesn't mean that it is automatically wrong, sometimes the popular choice is the best choice.  There have been many times when people have chosen something because it is popular and I don't think that is right. I feel like this quote is something many people should think about when making choices.
