Loyalty or Honesty
A nice breezy day with perfect weather temperature war as pumpkin pie when it first comes out the oven. Green, brown, and red leaves moving with the wind in a fast pace however, it was a beautiful sight to see all those colors go together. A windy day with a well needed jacket to keep from catching that bad cold. A big building filled with many windows and a colorful playground that was very fun especially during recess.

Wednesday was the day Destiny had to choose her friend over telling the truth. Courtney had needed a pencil because she left her book back at home but she did not like asking people for their things. She asked Destiny and she told her she could use her pencil but she would need it back because that was her last pencil. Courtney took the pencil and began taking their practice spelling test which was always done right before recess. They were the last ones to leave and Courtney decided it was okay to take someone’s pencil off their desk. Destiny had seen all of this but she was so worried about recess she did not think too much about what she just …show more content…
She gave Destiny a gold sticker for being honest and Courtney blurted out and said “I should have been honest instead of waiting until Destiny said it. Courtney and destiny hugged each other and decided they would still be friends but they would make sure to be honest with each other as well as others.
In conclusion, both of the girls walked home together and even though they had all this stuff happen in one day their friendship remained the same. Both girls learned that sometimes you have to be honest with yourself in order to be honest with others. Also if you have a friend who does something that is not right then in order from them to learn their lesson you have to be honest with others especially when it comes to doing things you have no business

    Lying and deception is one of the most common sins that we see in law enforcement according to our ethic book. This is one of the sins that can easily be made, and most would see as not a very big sin depending on what an officer is lying about. A person of the law should never lie but some examples can be when a civilian reports an officer doing something they shouldn’t of done like speeding or turning their lights on to get through a light just so they don’t have to wait. Now when this gets reported an officer could easily lie and say he or she didn’t do this because there is most likely no evidence of this being done and it’s the officers word against the civilians. Now that is just a simple example of how an officer could lie to a leader or their department.…

A time in which this happened to me I didn’t even realize the lie until later on when it came to blow up in my face.

    Loyalty over Blood Everyone has heard the saying, “blood is thicker than water,” but most people have failed to know the full saying. This part of the quote would make someone believe that people related by blood should be closer than those not. While many may think of this as true, I like to think of the full quote as more accurate, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” (Lang). To me, this means that the blood formed between bonds is thicker than just genetics.…
