“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ i will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No. never! I’d die first.”- Karl G. Maeser
I think that this quote means that when you give your word of honor you should never break it because it can cause you to have consequences. An example of this quote would be you ask your mom for permission to go out with your friends but she tells you that you have to be home by 9:00 and you agree. When you realize it’s already 8:30 you should already know what to do. You will have to tell your friends that’s it’s time for you to go home even if they’re trying to convince you to stay a little longer. But if you would’ve done the opposite of that you would be breaking your word of honor to your mom. Which means that you’re choosing the wrong. No one can make you break your word of honor except you because you’re going to take full responsibilities of your actions. Make sure that you always choose the right because it’s the best thing for you and for everyone else around you.
