“True

Independence and

 freedom can only

exist in doing

what’s right.”

Brigham Young

 Reflection: What I think he means by this is that if you want freedom and independence in life, you have to be willing to do what is right. Doing what is right can get you a lot more things than you thought possible. No one will want to remember you as the person who did wrong all their life. They’ll want to be able to say that you were the one that always did the right thing no matter what other people thought and said about it.

An example of doing something wrong and losing your freedom is when you steal something or use drugs and get put into prison. Getting put into prison is losing your freedom because you are now locked up forever.

An example of doing something right and gaining your freedom and independence is studying hard in school and getting into a great university. That is doing what is right and being independent because you are now on your own making your own money and doing your own things.
