Incorporating Personal Responsibility in the College Experience

?I cant accept my responsibility. If we were all responsible for everything that happened to everyone, we?d had anything to do with, it would be very awkward, wouldn?t it??

If you went out one day and out of nowhere you find yourself in a life-or-death situation would it be your fault? People in a life-or-death situation should be held accountable for their actions because most of the time people know that if they do something that can put them in a life-or-death situation then something bad will happen but they still do it willingly. Another person might not agree with this claim and say that people should not be held accountable for their actions. The reason he or she might think this is because if when a person does face a life-or-death situation it might not be entirely their fault. The following reasons are examples of why my claim is stronger.

Where do we as human beings take the responsibility of our part? The word ‘choices’ came to mind as I read both entries. Being that we are adults and have a “right” to ‘choose’ where we work, work where we choose and educate ourselves so we may make a higher pay rate, When does it become the responsibility of the person to make their life what they want it?

If I were to leave one quote as my enduring legacy, it would be “The only person responsible for your success and failures is yourself.”. The quote’s inherent explicit message is that a person is responsible for what happens to them. This message is intended to encourage people to take accountability and responsibility for their actions’ results. On the other hand, an essential implicit motivation of the quote is to counter the inclination of people currently to blame everyone but themselves when their plans go awry. Furthermore, another implicit message of the quote is people need to become self-reliant. In today’s intricate and constantly fluctuating world, people are becoming more and more dependent on others while they fail to take liability

Personal responsibility means having a possessing of duty. It means setting goals and standards. As a student, I realize that only I am responsible for the outcome of my academic

Personal responsibility, it seemed, was a side effect of the independence that comes with being an adult. As an adult, you have to own everything you do: once committed, your actions are permanent; and they not only affect you, but everyone around you.

I may have been considered a responsible employee before this because I was on time to work, was efficient at work, and always completed all my tasks. But this was a different kind of responsibility, taking responsibility for making someone and something else better. The rest of my life I’m going to be faced with questions of responsibility, particularly what falls under my responsibility. I hope that because I went through this experience I will look at responsibility in a new way. May that be in working at a company and taking responsibility for my coworkers to be better or socially holding my friends to be better people. My point is, it is easy to say that something is not your responsibility, but being a responsible person means taking responsibility for others that you can help. This will in turn make them, yourself, the company you work for, and in the end the world, a better

More Than Being Responsible Most people think you will become more responsible over time. Responsibility is a state of mind that you need to work on and develop. Responsibility is one of the most valuable character trait. Responsibility is discipline to do what you are uncomfortable with.

Just recently starting a new life as a college freshman, four hours away from the life I knew for eighteen years. Only less than two months in to my freshman year, I have already begun to truly understand personal responsibility. Having the ability to take care of ones self with out relying on anyone else for guidance or for permission. As a college

I can decide to be lazy, and not do any of the work, or I can accept full responsibility and make the right choices. These choices will affect my future. I have learned to accept my personal responsibility to improve my experience in college. Overall, personal responsibility affects all aspects of my life.

Downing states “When you accept personal responsibility, you believe that you create everything in your life”. (Downing 44) That means that everything in our lives good or bad are our responsibility. That does not mean that every time something bad happens in your life, it means when something bad does happen in your life you should accept the consequences and move forward. When we are responsible we are not afraid to make mistakes, instead, we learn from them and figure out a way so that we do not make the same mistakes twice. Creating solutions to our mistakes helps us overcome the obstacles of everyday life and learn problem-solving skills. If more people were responsible I believe the world can become a better place. No one blaming other people for their problems, we can understand each other and how we think, and the world can be a more peaceful place. A time when I took responsibility is when I had to deal with my success partner on getting our success team forum done. We did not do so well during the first week and we both wanted to improve the number of posts we got done. So we discussed amongst ourselves on how to improve our number of posts. We decided to start the forum earlier in the week, and we have improved ever since. Instead of not doing anything and accepting the bad grade

Personal responsibility and personal growth go hand-in-hand with success in education. Personal responsibility is the key to success in school. Responsibility goes hand-in-hand with success, happiness, and achievement.

Responsibilities as a member in college are the expectations of every student from college to meet their goals throughout their learning period in order to be success. Also at the same time students should meet the expectations of a larger community and society around them. Consequences of failing to those responsibilities may be vary. Students get their consequences based on what they did. Those consequences are for student to deeply recognize and be aware of their mistakes. Students need to understand the expectations of the society from them and their responsibilities within the community and what they need to do in order to be success. Some of the things that students are expected from college such as follow the rules, make good choices and be honest. Some of the things specifically for me are do my own work, get permission before I go into someone’s room, and be successful as a person etc. College expects high level of things not only from me but every student in the college. Respect among the student is an expectation of everybody within the college and also around the community. College also expects good performance since it is not only an advantage to me as a student but also to the whole college. If expectations are not met, both in the college and in the society, that means that I will meet several punishments and college will have no trust in me. One can also lose confidence from the society and family and therefore it will have big influence on them. To sum up, it is our own responsibilities to do the right things and be a good students at anytime and anywhere not just in college.

Accepting personal responsibility is a lesson some overcome early in life, while others don't until later in life or never at all. Personally, this took me a long time to cully accept and come to understand more clearly. I understand it's not just simply the right thing to do. Accepting personal responsibility both good and bad outcomes and decisions, is the only choice to make. If something happens or needs to be done, it's solely on me. Understanding and utilizing this aspect is a key element of success.

As a whole, accepting responsibility is something that every person at some point in life
