In your life In your family School Community
I think I can make a big difference in my life if I have a positive
outlook. I will try to live confident in my own skin. I will be happy no matter what life throws at me. Ill be as close to God as possible. Ill make the most of my life. Happiness is a choice and everyone should choose it instead of sulking and regret of the past situations that occurred to you. In my family, I will be responsible and show respect to my parents and sister. Be there when they need you. Keep your faith in God as a family. Family should be the first one to know about you and all your problem, situations. Dont be a pain to your parents, as much as possible do not give them problems. In school, keep positive thoughts and support your friends and classmates. Make friends, talk to the ones that doesnt talk much. Be a good role model. Respect your teacher. Study hard but do not abuse your health. Lastly in Community. Set yourself as a good example to other people, especially to the younger ones. Be conscious and aware of the environment. Participate in Community activities or organization that supports a good cause. Be an active part of the community. Dont break rules or laws, be a good citizen so that our country can progress. Remember change starts in you. A single step made by hundreds of people is always better than a hundred steps made by a single person, We are all living in one world so we must cooperate in trying to create a better place to live in.
