"Dare to stand alone."

 

Thomas S Manson

Reflection: I agree with this quote because it is important not to follow what other people are doing especially if they are doing something wrong, you should do the opposite and even if you're the only one doing the right thing you should still do it. If other people do the wrong thing and get caught that is what they chose and if you did the right thing that is what you chose.
