I believe in looking for the good in everyone, because no one is perfect. During the year of 2016, I had been introduced to a girl around the age of fourteen. When we had met it appeared that we had nothing in common; besides the fact that we were close to the same age.

At this moment in her life, my mom had the choice to never talk to this guy again, or she could forgive him and decide to just be friends. The choice that my mother chose that day showed me that even though someone has wronged you it is always ok to forgive them and give them a second chance. Although it took my mom a long time to think things over, she later made the choice to forgive him. When I later asked her why she had made that choice she answered that she was done with being mad at people. Thanks to my moms courageous decision they are now really good

    There has always been a predominant belief in my household that it is important to help others- whether it be volunteering at a food pantry or just keep an elderly neighbor company when no one else is around to do so. The main takeaway from this was that one couldn’t receive good in their life if they never gave any. I have been more eager to follow this through, not necessarily in the spirit of receiving some good in return, but because it gave me a good feeling to know that I was impacting someone’s life in a positive manner. I wanted to be able to foster this feeling and incorporate it into my everyday life, so I could carry that feeling with me wherever I go.

    There is an incredibly thin line between what makes a person good and what makes a person right. A person being right is something that’s controversial; you can choose what you want because it’s your opinion. A person being good is something that no one gets a say in; all people are good. It’s hard to see that because people skewer the image of other people when they think that person did something wrong. We are judged more by our actions than by our intentions. In reality, our intentions are all that matter.
