West High School has a phrase on their sign right now that says, "You are what you choose..."
I think that is quite impressive, because it flys in the face of what I normally hear about what the world teaches about man and personal responsibility.
Normally I hear that man is a product of his environment and not responsible for his actions, but this is of course obsurd.
I think a proper way of phrasing this truth is like this: Man is a product of his choices within his environment.

It is wrong to hear people say,"it just happened!"
My favorite line I say to them,"nothing just happens,there are choices involved that helped you there!"
