I will do my best to leave every place I go better than I found it. This comes from a quote from one of my favorite fictional characters. I want to have a positive impact in the world, and make small improvements wherever I go. Especially, I never want to create problems or burdens if they do not lead to societal or personal improvement. I will embody this ethic through maintaining a positive attitude when interacting with others, and saying yes to aiding others every time I am capable of helping.

I will always be grateful and appreciative for what is in my life and those responsible for it. This connects to my religious beliefs about gratitude. I have had a great life, and many things constantly happen in my life that are wonderful, whether big and small. Therefore, I want to give credit where credit is due, and to be thankful to not take those things for granted. I do this through prayer and praise, as well as giving compliments to my peers whenever I notice positive actions have been taken.

I will be proud of myself and my accomplishments. I believe that joy and contentment come from within and above, not from external sources. Therefore, I want to live a life where I am not striving for the next hardest goal, but where I can have joy in my current situation. I do this through complimenting myself and others on my accomplishments and maintaining a positive attitude.
