Values: Plain and Simple

I believe values are some one's personal priorities in regards to ethics, morals, and life. My personal values come from how I was raised and the life experiences I have encountered. My main values are a blend of family and friends. Growing up I was never close to my blood relatives, so my friends became my family. I treat them like they are blood and would do anything for them. They have gotten me to where I am today. I "value" them more than anything else. Next would have to be my principles. Growing up, I was always taught to have righteous morals and manners. My principles make me who I am and define my character. People pass judgment based on those aspects, good principles are very important to make it in society. Next is my education, my backbone to success. Working is all so you can enjoy the life you have to fullest, and in order for me to do that, I need a good education to get a high paying job that I enjoy. Without it my life would fall apart.

My values are my life. They make me who I am and give my life meaning. The way a person values the things in their life can tell you so much about the individual. It can give insight into a person's history, if can give you a fair judgment on their character, and it can tell you how similar they are to you and where they stand on a lot of issues. Because values are so broad, they are a very good summary of who we are. They are something everyone should hold close to them and come up with themselves. The values must be a reflection of you and no one else.
