In the past my feeling of struggling in a math problem was…

everyone just did what they pleased without any significance behind it? If you don’t consider your values and beliefs, life could be a mess. Morals are in existence to guide your life to goals rather than be controlled by unhealthy habits and actions. Values and morals cannot only guide but inspire you a passion for living and doing something meaningful. For example, gymnastics is something that has helped me establish my morals. Being a competitive gymnast helped me get things accomplished and…
