Choosing the right path

Continuing the series of talks by Heads of Houses, last week Welsh's Ross McCafferty talked about making the right decisions in life. He said that our lives reflect the choice and decisions we make and that choosing the right path is essential to our own happiness and that of others. He quoted the Headmaster when he said that "choice, risk and consequence" should never be far from our thoughts. Every path, he said, has hurdles and potential accidents and he quoted the statistic that more teenage road accidents are caused by speeding than by drink driving. He urged his audience to make a "life plan" and not to fall into someone else's and ended with the sound and empathetic advice, "never put your own happiness at the expense of others".
