*Today I want to share a story discussing the importance for children to learn responsibility. Simple actions, like staying up too late, can effect schoolwork and success in daily tasks.

##
It was a bright and sunny morning in Aceh, Indonesia and the sky was clear. Lately, it had been raining and the streets were still wet and muddy.
Jhon was having a hard time waking up. He felt warm and cozy in his bed. The air in his bedroom was cool and Jhon enjoyed …show more content…
"Jhon, it is time to get up! You don’t want to miss school. You must go to school to become smart and successful. This will make your parents very happy. You must be the one to pick the fruit," mother said as she stood by his bedside.

Hearing the words of his mother, Jhon opened his eyes. He knew her words were true. Jhon wanted to go to school so he could get the education he needed to be successful to help support his family. His father got up early every morning to work to help pay for Jhon's schooling. For him to miss school because he felt lazy was wrong and Jhon felt bad for not waking up earlier.
Getting out of bed, he was ready to greet the day. Smiling sheepishly at his mother Jhon felt he should explain why he was so tired.
"I wanted to get up early Mom, but last night I watched TV until late into the night."

Jhon knew he should be sleeping and preparing for tomorrow’s school day but he was irresponsible. He stayed up late and was very tired the next day.
His performance suffered because he made the wrong decision. Jhon did make a good decision in the story. Instead of lying to his mother about why he was tired, Jhon told the truth about staying up too late.
Honesty in life is extremely important. Telling the truth and admitting mistakes are admirable qualities. Jhon did the right thing by telling his mother the truth about staying up too late. His mother also did an admirable action in not punishing Jhon for telling the truth. His mother showed compassion and understanding. She corrected her son and told him to try harder. By keeping calm, she was able to send a positive message to her son who became determined to try hard so he didn’t disappoint her.
### Jhon is a young boy and is learning many life lessons. I hope you'll visit @agrojaya again to read stories about Jhon and the lessons he learns.
