“Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.” (Mahatma Gandhi) I find this quote to be very touching, true, and eye-opening because as a younger person I have yet to fully find out who I am as a human being. Yes, of coarse I have a general idea of what my values are and what moral values I should follow in order to seem socially acceptable, but that also seems to be the problem. We follow certain guidelines pertaining to what is “socially acceptable” but if you really think about it, who created the rules regarding what society should look like or how we should behave?

After my parents divorced I lived with my father for some time which did not help my need for direction because my dad would be asleep most of the day since he worked night shifts at his job so that left me with only my teachers and my baby sitter to teach me good morals, which I lacked at first as a child but what child doesn 't? I later moved with my mom at age seven but by this age I was already taught most of my permanent morals. I am personally proud of who I am today based on the lack of parenting I endured in my life and although I hated not having much care, toys or possessions as a child I look at it very positively today.

I would say that I am an example of a minority in the work industry because I am Hispanic, bilingual, and have the ability to effectively help a company just as much as another candidate of any other race. I believe that we are all just as equal as the next person depending on our skills and corporate spiritualism. The only time race should be taken into consideration is when affirmative action comes into the picture but even then we are all still equal and working together and with teamwork and diversity we might even come across new morals and values as we accept new cultures along the way. It is quite apparent that the question should not be “where our values and morals were
