Pennsylvania State University

As a young adult coming from a lurid environment, I was obligated to cope with physical and mental abuse until the age of fifteen. It was then when I abruptly discovered myself abandoned and homeless. Still a child, I was doubtful of my own capabilities.

Benjamin Franklin believed that every person can become more wealthy, healthy, and wise through hard work and self discipline. I believe in his belief because it doesn’t matter how difficult or easy it is to accomplish a goal; at the end of the day, what counts is the satisfaction of the work and experience a person puts into it. Franklin didn’t favor luck or opportunities, but instead became successful through hard work. Franklin was many things such as an author, inventor, scientist, and a…

I threw on my staff shirt and mesh shorts, grabbed a quick chocolate chip…

audience to understand these virtues and how they can be implemented on a personal level within everyday context. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, one of this view’s main proponents is that Temperance is to “eat not to dullness. Drink not to elevation” (78).
