Core Value
My elderly grandfather once told me that if you sow respect to people then you have a high chance of people showing you respect back. He told me that it’s called the golden rule and it means putting yourself in someone else's shoes. So I live by the golden rule and I really take respect to the heart. This one thing I will pass on to my kids if I have them.
One of the reason I chose respect is because it was one of things I have a problem with with adults. When I was a little kid people never show me respect because people always said that I was a bad kid, but they never took the chance to know me. So I always told myself that people would show me respect one day; So I changed my behavior when I went to school and everywhere I went

    As I reflect on my personal life I value life itself to the point I live each day not knowing what to expect the next day. Positivity is a major factor in all that I do to the point of trying to view all things in a positive way and leaving the negativity out the door.

In addition, a fervent value I carry is always giving a one hundred and ten percent to any task I am trying to accomplish.…
