Customs and Courtesies As soldiers we are taught to live the seven Army values defining the basics of what a soldier is all about. One of those being respect. Relying on the golden rule, “How we consider others reflects upon each of us, both personally and as a professional organization.” I believe this is an extremely important value to live by each and every day. As a soldier I pledged to treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same. Respect is what allows us to

Today’s youth plays a major role in molding the future of our country, yet they could make or break the reputation of our nation. Being the youth of America, we are at the center of absolute power.

Youth Teen tends to

On October 22, 2008 at the age of 14, my best friend Jeffany Cepeda was struck by a driver while crossing the road to get to school. The worst part was that it was in front of her mother.  On the phone and fed up with traffic, the driver sped to not get stopped at the red light. However, the red light came and she was unable to stop in time. The driver hit her with such force that she flew about 12 feet. After the accident, most of her teenage years were spent in hospitals and therapy centers. Paralyzed

I love Thanksgiving! It’s that wonderful time of year where you, you know, give thanks for what you have. There’s turkey, mashed potatoes, that cranberry stuff that seems obligatory at every thanksgiving table, though nobody really eats it or knows what it’s for… PARADES, and staying up late to try and avoid being crushed by the shoes of DEMENTED shoppers! So much to be thankful for. It’s such a contradictory holiday. On one hand, we’re volunteering at food banks to make sure more people have more

Why You Gotta Be So Rude? Someone cuts you off at a 4 way stop. Someone makes a mean comment about the way you look. Someone doesn’t hold a door for you when they see you coming right behind them. Someone whips into a parking spot you have clearly been waiting to turn into. These things happen to us everyday. Everyday, whether it be at work or school, we have to deal with the rude actions of people around us. Nothing makes me madder than strangers that are rude, and I know many of you agree.

The World Needs a Little Courtesy       Doesn't anyone show common courtesy anymore? When I was younger, I never knew what my parents meant when I heard them ask that question. I thought people were polite. I never had any problems with rude people. Now that I am older, and actually experience people outside of school, I understand what my parents meant.       What happened to people saying "Excuse me" when they want to walk past you? Don't people

I am not an etiquette expert nor am I a wedding etiquette expert. Nor have I ever claimed to be. I have a bit of a love-hate affair with etiquette, and since etiquette is so closely associated with weddings, it 's only fair that I put my views on the subject in plain view for all to see. This piece is intended to clarify those views and is a result of numerous email requests asking for my take on the subject. Having said that, I will repeat that I have a love-hate affair with etiquette. I agree with

Rudeness in today’s workplace is hardly a new trend. With our generation today people seem to forget some of their manners. Employees in today’s work environment do not display proper work ethics. 11 out of every 25 employees in a survey said the level of professional respect at work has diminished over the last half-decade (“Workplace,” par. 1).
