Values

I believe that many people's values are influenced by others. I for one believe that what you value most is your own decision. My main value in life is dedication. If I start something, I will finish it. Selling myself short only hurts myself so I choose to better myself with every encounter I may face.  I use dedication in sports, schooling and at work. Dedication ties into hard work or a good sense of work ethic. Working hard for something makes the result more rewarding. A good work ethic is important to get you through life in a positive manner. With age comes respect. Respecting others will result in respect being returned to you. I believe not only that you should respect your elders, but that you should respect everyone. Everyone deserves respect unless given a reason to not do so.  Although respect seems small, it is the foundation of everything. I use respect in everything I do. I have learned to value respect because I appreciate being respected by others. My family is a large aspect of my values. I value their encouragement and appreciation of my doings. They are there for me every day through everything so I can say that they are a positive aspect of my life.  Lastly, I value my education. My education keeps me on the path to success.  I use education everyday because it is the building blocks of everything. My family also values education which gives me more reason to appreciate it. I am thankful to receive an education.
