I’m pretty sure all of you know me .. If you don’t, let me stat off by introducing myself. I’m Shamekia Margon, soon to be a graduate of Carteret High Scool. I’m here to speak upon a couple of lessons I’ve learned. It wont be long, 10 minutes maxx… sit back and hear me out.

It’s no great accomplishment to be honest when it is easy. But our true appreciation of honesty is displayed when it is difficult. Its all about not bending the truth, owning up to something you’ve done wrong . We should all be able to act in polite honest way. Holdup, if you can’t be honest how are you honest to yourself? Honesty can benefit yourself and others , it causes less stress… we can’t forget maturity. The mature thing to do is admit the truth. Lets not forget respecting your character.Your character is of far more value than anything you can sell it for. Don’t trade it for something foolish like money, fame, power, sex, or the entire world. Respect is auniversal honor and character trait, inorder to accomplish anything there has to be same level of repsect… It yields fruitful results in the long run. I’m so glad to have my mom in my life to teach me a couple of lessons because now im able to share them with
