My most important personal values are respect, honesty, and responsibility. This year, I haven't been perfect at being responsible, respectful, or honest. I've lied to my family and friends, according to my mom, I have been disrespectful, and responsibility is a huge weight on my shoulders. I've been trying my very best, but nobody is perfect. My actions haven't been aligning with my values, but I'm trying to change. I've grown emotionally, physically, and mentally, today is not the day to give up.
