This quote in my point of view is the choices you make today can follow you throughout your life. The main choice i face everyday today is concerning my grades. Everyday i think about how all my assignments go into my grade. My grade goes into what college i make it into and my future. i make sure to alway make a good choice when it comes to that because i know how it can affect me.

This quote is very true and there are also other times where this quote relates to it.
