I chose to respond to prompt number two. Integrity is an important value in my own life. Integrity, for me, is practicing and having high standards and morals. Integrity is doing what is right always. You can’t have integrity if you do not live your personal standards and beliefs, it would be contradictory. Honesty and integrity go hand in hand. I want to live my life with honesty and integrity, especially while getting my college education for the next few years of my life. As I get my education, I want to have been able to become educated while practicing my own personal morals and beliefs. Getting an education is something I take very seriously. So, why would I throw it all away by not going forth with integrity and honesty? I will go forth with integrity by adhering to the honor code on a daily basis. I want people to remember me as hardworking, …show more content…
If I received news that I did not have much longer to live the first thing that pops into my head is to spend time with my family. I would want to spend as much time as I could with my family. Whether that is my immediate family currently, my future family, or my friends who I consider my family. My love language has always been quality time, and I feel if I were in a life-threatening situation, all I would want to do is feel of others love for me, and share my love for them. In the book it states, “I would continue to feel such love and gratitude alongside the terrible sorrow, the grief so heavy that at times I shiver and moan under the weight of it.” I would not want to focus on the negative side of things. I wouldn’t want my last few days or months spent in sadness. Especially since I would probably be under a lot of stress anyways. No, I would want to make some of the most meaningful memories with those whom I love. Even if it’s in a hospital bed, rather than a vacation in Hawaii. As long as those I care about are there surrounding and supporting me, I would be
The serpent from Lord of the Flies and the snake from “The Book of Genesis” are similar and different in their own ways because they both are a threat and bring doubt and uncertainty, but one represents freedom and the other represents fear. “‘He was dreaming.’ Laughing, Ralph looked for confirmation round the ring of faces. The older boys agreed ; but here and there among the little ones was the doubt that required more than rational assurance,” ( Lord of the Flies, page 36). This proves that the serpent is a threat because when the little boy said there was a serpent Ralph was trying to convince everyone there wasn’t one, even though he wasn’t sure himself; he tried to convince them that the serpent wasn’t real because he didn’t want to
The Hurricane of 1938 was one of the worst natural disasters the United States has experienced. The effect it had on the eastern coastline was devastating. What made the storm so powerful? Mistakes made by forecasters had great effect. No one was prepared for a hurricane.

My parents always called it being a "mensch", a quality of being hones, and having strong moral principles. Integrity. Throughout my life, I have had a strong moral compass, pointing mostly to my honesty. With that being said, I'm a sixteen year old boy, certainly my integrity has been called into question. the most monumental time to date was in the eighth grade. A malicious rumor was being spread around campus. This rumor was not just a t Carmichael but at all three Richland middle schools. Unfortunately, I happened to be involved along with about forty other boys in the district.
Nights I attended a funereal of a friend or a relative and asking myself what are the feelings and thoughts of the people surrounding the deceased person and how can they really let go. I remember my life-time friend seeing his wife fighting breast cancer while she is pregnant and gifting a new soul when she is fighting for her own, being a dying patient when she is a physician, married to a physician and a daughter of physician in one of the greatest hospitals in the world at the prestigious Harvard medical school and the battle ends with a loss of a life of a great person, who before she dies gifted the world with a daughter – Mariam “Marry”- , a great book explaining what she went through to help others and an open free online blog named after a verse of her holy book – and her believe as - “A goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens, It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord”. I remembered How such a young women write as a part of an answer to who am I as “God Gifted me with breast cancer, which gained me sympathy and a sense of human pain”. Her “gift” is teaching me is how you plan to die and what matters as Leonardo da Vinci once said “While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die”. Her gift reminded me with a sentence that Dr. Hayes mentioned in our first lecture “You need to be in peace with your own death”. Her death was not the end of her life and was not only about her own but it is far beyond that. She touched thousands of souls and her legacy is there after we all die. Her husband confirmed to me what Elisabeth Kubler-Ross explained when saying “Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither
With any profession there`s rules that has to be followed for that person to be successful in their field of choice. Maintaining a professional relationship at all times should be my number one goal when knowing that at any moment I can be in the spotlight.
The fourth point, family suffering, is understandable. No one wants their loved one to die, it is difficult to overcome the loss of a loved one. However, by wishing to prolong a loved one’s suffering so they are around a bit longer is selfish. Despite the not so great circumstance, great things come out of it. First and for most, you now know your loved one is at peace and no longer suffering. Secondly, at times like these, relationships are strengthened. Whether it be immediate family, outside family, friends, whoever, someone will be there for you, lending a shoulder to lean your head and cry on. Grieving is a natural process. As time moves on, we will stop grieving and continue with our lives. One day when we are going about our business, we may see, hear or smell something that reminds us of our loved one, bringing us back to that time of happiness for just a brief moment. We smile, for we know they are with us still, but in a better place, free from harm.
My mother was hit the hardest as she held him helplessly. Looking back, I was too young to understand that my brother already knew where his travels were about to take him. This also brought chapter 6 through 8 to light as well. living with the dyeing and death as I became older watching the horn blow of aging and disease to overcome the elderly in the family. It was the Slippery-Slop Argument when it was offered and how I thought it gave a cold grass statement of ill-regards for life. I could understand the “End of life Choices” of the terminally ill not to life in pain and die with dignity Leming & Dickinson
We are presented with choices every day. Many are easy to make and cause very little stress, but some choices can be extremely difficult and have significant consequences. The difference between making the right choice or the wrong one is often determined be a persons character, which is based upon the qualities of integrity, responsibility, and honesty. Gaining an understanding of these three character traits and how to build them is critical to creating a lifetime of positive outcomes.
Integrity is the foundation of our character and is key to promoting respect and trust within any organization. It requires self-discipline and can only be accomplished when we use courage, responsibility, accountability, and consistency in our day-to-day life. Let's look at what this one simple word really means and why it is so important.
Reading this chapter cannot help me prepare, but instead it helps me understand the concept of death once it approached myself or a loved one. It is a difficult subject to think about. We all feel devastation, remorse and regret when we lose someone, the “I should of…. Could of…. Comes to mind and then the guilt felt that we did not do enough for or with them. When thinking of a loved one such as my mother, I often have death anxiety which is the fear and apprehension of death (Berk, 2007, pp 645). I lost my father some years back, which was the first loved one lost in my life, I did not know how to grieve properly so it took many years to accept it. I could not imagine losing my mother as I am closer to her than anyone else in my life. I make
Said to be the most important quality of all, uncompromising integrity must be present in all areas of a leaders professional and personal life. Integrity shows itself in many ways but the two bold aspects are staying power and getting outside of yourself. Staying power is being 100% committed long term for the interest of the company, not just for self evolved reasons like climbing the ladder to better your own career venture. Getting outside of yourself is the will to help others even when there is no personal gain involved.
A major hardship that most students face in school is integrity. A core part of my character is integrity and that is something that I do not compromise with. I faced an incident that challenged this character when one of my peers asked for “help” on an assignment for school. His definition of help was to send him my answers. This question challenged my integrity because I would be cheating if I sent him the answers. Therefore, in order to deal with his request, I instead walked him through how to do the problem step by step to reach the correct answer. This way, he received the help he needed on his assignment while I was still able to remain honest.
In the community, while brotherhood and knowledge are very important, one thing that is constantly emphasized is that we do everything we do with integrity. The idea of Integrity is emphasized through the saying “All actions, whether in business or in life, are guided by honesty, ethics and fairness” (“AKPsi Today”). Integrity is a value that the fraternity values so much because it is a value that directly transcends the community of the brotherhood and impacts the world. The organization makes sure to choose its members based on these qualities and make sure that to be an insider in the organization that all members continue to act with integrity. This has allowed the community to be well respected and ultimately allowed
Integrity is how somebody lives their life. In this life we live, we face choices every day that only we can answer. We dictate how we run our own lives, and they way we run them defines us. Integrity is doing the right thing versus the wrong thing. People, if nothing else, can always have their pride, their integrity. It is something that means a lot to some people and then nothing to others. The ones who value their integrity highly are the good people in this world, and the opposite is true for those who do not value their integrity.
