We first learn our values from parents, teachers, religious and youth leaders as well as other influential adults. We also learn from our peers. Over time we make certain values our own, realizing that our choices and actions have consequences for ourselves and the larger world. The Ten Commandments, emphasizing respect for God, neighbor and self provide a moral touchstone. The world's most universal moral standard - one accepted by every major religion in some form - is the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The sum of the actions of individuals sets the moral tone of society If we are all honest, if we all respect our parents, if we all refrain from harming others in any way, then society will reflect those personal virtues in the quality of its life. I believe life is what you make it and I can honestly say I like my life and happy being the lady I am..... It’s what’s inside that will matter the most.......Honesty, Loyalty, Passion, Kindness and Humor are just a few qualities that make up my inner beauty. I’m very easygoing and adventurous but also very much enjoy quiet times. The great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one’s neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard. The greatest example of courage, faith, and love in my life was set by my family. The unconditional love they gave to all their friends, neighbors, and family came back to them and to my family in their last days. Because of the example of their great and unconditional faith and love, I have been emptied of cynicism and firmly believe that I have been able to become a more capable vessel for the sharing of that unconditional faith and love for my own friends, family, and community. In my own life, the mysteriously endless cycle of love and the awakening example of truth that everyone is a divine instrument of God was created. In a particularly memorable act of empathy and kindness, a Muslim friend told me that his faith taught him that there is no stronger love on this earth than the love of a precious family. The love for you is the closest thing to God while you live here on the earth. But the love of God is even 70 times stronger. I was more confident, wanted to know everything, and was excited to be in school and good "My experience helped me look at challenging situations differently and instead of giving up, finding a way around them” Last summer I learned a lot about how to control my anger” I learned better sportsmanship and listening skills that helped me bring up my grades in behavior." "I learned how to be on my own without someone with me all the time.”I learned to have more patience and to appreciate the things I have.” I feel that I am better at interacting with friends and family. The people skills learned "Leadership, organization, make my bed, keep my stuff clean, to keep in touch with my friends, respect, how to handle pressure. I learned to listen to what other people say” I learned a lot of team work skills.” I learn how to relate to people on a level deeper than that of school or everyday life because you live together.” I learn a lot about respect and my real values in life, what they really should be” Values like how to be responsible and respectful” You learn mostly how to interact with different kinds of people and are open to different ideas. You learn how to cooperate well with others who share and don't share the same opinions as you.” I learned to have fun, be a leader, discipline, and most of all – respect.” You learn how to make new friends, learn different sports.
