Importance Of Personal Responsibility

The meaning of self responsibility is doing what you’re supposed to do without anyone having to tell you to do it. It also means that a person is responsible for one’s own actions and consequences.

All I have to do is listen to what the teacher says, stay in sports, and don’t get caught up in bad groups of people.

Having self responsibility means a lot in this world. It can get you very far in this life time starting from JR high school all the way up to retirement. Which by the way if you want to retire make sure you actually have a lot of money saved up.
To be self responsible you must do what you’re supposed to do no matter what you’re doing, when you’re doing it, and do it without being told to do it. If you’re in school then you should always turn in your papers on time and I would never hurt to do some extra credit.
