‍‍All students must make very difficult ‍‍‍‍decision ‍‍‍‍ in school. Many adults would say they made some bad choices in high school. I believe the 4-Way Test can help students make better choices, such as picking classes, avoiding drugs and alcohol, and deciding whether or not to prepare for tests.‍ I believe that the 4-Way Test can help people make positive choices to problems in their lives, especially in school. ‍‍

‍ One aspect in a student’s life that the 4-WayTest can help is picking classes for the next school year. Many students can get pressured into a class because of their friends, or they may not take a class because of other students that also took the class. ‍‍‍‍Student ‍‍‍‍ also may not take a class because they are afraid they might get made fun of for taking it. The first question of the 4-Way Test is “Is it the truth?” ‍‍‍‍The answer is no, because the student will not really want to take the class, just be with their friends ‍‍‍‍The second question is “Is it fair to all concerned?” The answer is no because the student does not want to take the class, but they want to be with their friends. This is not fair to anybody because the student will want to talk to their friends and distract them from what they should be doing. The third question is “Will it build good will and better friendships?” The answer to this question can be yes ‍‍‍‍or ‍‍‍‍ no. ‍‍‍‍If the student is with their friends, they can build better relationships, but if they are distracting them it will anger them. ‍‍‍‍ They final question is “Will it be beneficial to all concerned?” The answer is no. If a student takes a class for their friends, the student really won’t care about the class, and will waste their time. It will also distract their friends from participating in class.

‍‍‍Another aspect ‍‍‍ in a student’s life that the 4-Way Test can help is avoiding drugs, alcohol, and smoking. A student may be pressured into drugs, alcohol, and smoking by their friends. The first question asks whether or not it is the truth. The answer would be no, because students will not want to drink, smoke or do drugs, but their friends will pressure them into doing it. The second question asks is it fair to all concerned. No, because these activities can harm a student’s body and mind, and the only reason the student is doing these activities is because their friends pressured them into doing it. The third question asks will it build good will and strong relationships. The answer is no, because later in a student’s life, they will begin to hate that they drink, smoke, or do drugs, and they will hate their friends. The final question asks is it beneficial; to all concerned. No, because drinking, smoking, and harm your body and mind, and will make school harder.‍‍‍ Most people who do one of these activities will later resent themselves for doing it, because of the long term effect that these activities have. ‍‍‍

‍‍‍I believe that the 4-Way Test is a great way to help students make difficult decisions in school. It helps with deciding which classes to choose for the next year, and avoiding drugs, alcohol, and smoking. ‍‍‍
