Growing up an only child and having mexican parents, I was always taken care of. Since I was the only child, my parents were overprotective of me so that I grew up to be a good person. I always thought of this as annoying. I was extremely scared to do bad things, especially in kindergarten. In school I’ve taken various tests ranging from, your learning type, or how smart you are. None of those I felt truly represented who I am. That was until I took the Hexaco test. Sure there were a few things I didn’t agree with, but it go most things right.
Growing up, I was very mischievous. I recall spilling the teacher’s coffee on his books in Kindergarten, multiple times and even said some bad words. I never thought of what the things I did would …show more content…
They taught me many valuable lessons from never feeling above others, never falling into temptation, but above all, honesty. When I saw my Hexaco score of 3.38 I thought I should have gotten a higher score, but I agreed with it for the most part. You see my, parents, especially my mom, immediately knew when I lie (I guess it is her instinct as a mother. I tried multiple times to lief to her, when I did things she would not agree with. I accredit me being honest because my parents always told me that people who are honest will achieve more things in life, and that if you lie, you will go to hell. Of course, I’m human and lied sometimes but ultimately never felt right doing it. Partly because my parents focused so much of their time and energy, working up to 60 hours a week at the fields, and still had time to teach me honestly. I just took it as my duty to never lie, almost out of respect. Just last week, I took a quiz for AP history, and I got a 3/10 on a quiz. I had the opportunity to give him a fake score, but since he is such a nice person, I couldn't take advantage of him. I can’t take advantage of others, I’m too honest.
To me being honest is an extremely important trait. It can determine whether you are liked by others, and could even affect how you are viewed by others. If you are dishonest, you will be seen as a conniving piece of garbage, resulting in loosing trust of others. In other words, being honest can help your ethos, or your public image. I do have some shortcomings with my personality whether it be not being prudent, but I am proud to say I feel I am honest. Honesty is the best policy after
