What are values and how do they relate to the other terms identified in the introduction? An investigation from multiple sources agrees that values are the motivations and behaviors used to determine priorities of what one sees as important in life and work (MindTools.com, 2017; Atkins, 2017; Value, n.d.). Applying this definition to the values I hold include a list of characteristics that define how I desire to represent myself. First, commitment to my principles, which my faith as a Christian

I admire someone who is brave and strong, who is caring and loyal, who is uplifting and motivational, I admire my mom. She is never afraid to go out there and be bold. She is the one who fixes things or tries to help out. My mom always tells us to work hard and try our best. Whenever we asked why she would always say,

Admiration for someone is not just something that happens overnight, and especially not about just anyone. To admire someone is to support their choices, desire their traits and qualities, and to have deep respect for them. Now, if anyone was just asked on the spot to talk about someone they admire, they would clearly have some difficulty on deciding who to describe. Nevertheless, an answer will always be attained from whomever it is you want to interrogate (that is, if they’re sane and right in the head). I happen to admire someone who is also admired by countless others, and rightly so (in my opinion).

I will have the questions to you by the end of today. I am again very appreciative of the opportunity to finish the class and I look forward to learning from you and, improving my

I now have a wonderful Christian husband and two beautiful little girls. I will help them understand and see God’s amazing grace and let them start their own journey with God. I will try to help them strengthen their relationship with God and show them the love they most certainly deserve. I want to be able to be there for them as much as I can and not be a stay away or travel parent. I want my family to have their roots. When my children come to age I will give them my journal to read and give them their own. Though I cannot travel as much as I used to, I will keep on talking to people about Jesus and I always

A person I admire is my “Mother” because she is a fighter, hard worker, caring, loving and selfless. Even thought my mother is a single mother,

Note: Books other than those specifically mentioned may be used to help you to answer some of these questions.

The person that makes me feel the most loved and the most supported is my mom. She has done everything a good mother should do from caring for me when I am sick to teaching me important life lessons throughout my life.

I have got 4 family members and all of them are very dear and close to me. If I need to pick one family member among them to talk about, that would be my father. He works hard to make the family life painlessly. He always taught me to be a good person. So he was my hero in every story and I love him more than world.

Second, we will discuss the answers to “Who is a Great Person” with the group of teenagers I interviewed. When I first started my interviews I assumed all of the teenagers would choose some type of celebrity idol, I was socked with the results. One of them chooses Jesus, one Martin Luther King Jr., a classmate, and Barack Obama. When I asked them why they all had a similar answer. The one who chooses Jesus said because he sacrificed himself for us, the other two said MLK fought to stop racism and Obama was a great role model for young black males that face great obstacles. The one student said he chooses his classmate because she was always nice to him and showed him compassion even if he was being mean toward him. Every one of the kids chooses someone who has had to sacrifice themselves for someone else while showing Agape love. Grimsrud (2011) writes, “He faces
