Values, or what we hold to a high standard in life are things that we were raised upon. Everyone values something different, whether it is academics, faith, friends, or sports we all value something close to our heart. I first and foremost value my faith and second comes my family and friends (including sisters). My faith in God has shaped who I am and how I live my life each day. My values are things which push me to be the best version of myself. I want to do well in school and outside of school in order to make my friends and family proud. I seek their approval although I know that they will love me no matter what. But I look to my values to challenge me and to excite me. With the drive and motivation I put in to my work, I know that the pay off will be great.
Tangible signs help remind me to stay in check with my values. Whether that is wearing my cross necklace or changing the background on my phone to a picture of my family...little signs such as these remind me of where I came from and how I need to continue living for the better. These are daily reminders to help me work towards being the best version of myself.
