We've been talking about core values in class. This has made me think of what I really think of myself and what I decide is right or wrong. It's kind of a hard thing to think about. My core values are that I make sure that I won't offend anyone with something that I do. People aren't going to respect you if you do. Also I think that it's important to be social with people, as they'll respect you more if you can have a conversation with them and be interested in what they are talking about. I also think about if I do something if I'll still respect myself later. Self-respect is important. You need to like who you are if you ever want to be happy.
