It’s much more complex than that. The definition of value is the way that something is held to deserve; the importance of something. That being said, putting my family first is my priority. In other words, value is something uniquely chosen to be your go to what to do core.

It’s helped me to grow as a person and to have a great, strong relationship with my wife. I’m not saying it’s always easy or that I never have any issues within my family, but I know that at the end of the day, I lay my head down on a clean slate. Personal issues aside, I know we all love eachother very much and we go to be happy. Without my family, life would go on, but it would never be as great as it is now. My family is my life. I’ve become so passionate about my family over the past few years. i visit my immediate family weekly and my extended family usually once a month. My family has impacted me so much and changed who I am as a person. I hated school, yet I’m going to college. I wouldn’t be where I am in life without their impact on me. I wouldn’t have the vehicle that I have. I wouldn’t have perfect little mini-me that I do. I wouldn’t get to lay my head down next to the most beautiful woman in the world, nor call her mine.

No matter what activity was, my family helped me get whatever I needed and also supported me by showing up at various performances and events. Though this act may seem minuscule, it meant a lot to know that I had people who were proud of me and would always love me no matter if I succeeded or failed. Altogether, I know that without the support of my friends and family, I would not be the person that I am…

    Core values are the things that inspire us, what we believe is important, and which is significance to us in life. My core values are commitment, fairness and respect for others, and to have trust and love for one another. My most important core value is to have honesty and love.
