A person with integrity lives their life with pride and justice. Integrity means to live an honest and moral life and that’s what these people do. They don’t need to live their life like this but they do. They do it because it’s the right thing to do not because of fame or money . The life of a person with integrity isn't one filled with admiration and praise but one filled with righteous and kind acts of service to the world. Why must everyone think when they did something right there should be a prize for them. In fact no prize should be given to anyone; we are all humans why must we need money or gifts in order to help others. I believe it’s enough to know that people thank you for your deeds and your kindness,but then again a little gift never did hurt anyone. I hate myself sometimes,mostly because i don’t live with integrity. I wish and try so much to be a good friend and person but It seems people love to treat me like dirt. I’ll help people. I hate people who i never liked or people who don’t talk to me. I don’t know why but it’s the way i am and hate it because people think I'm a big push over but maybe that is what integrity is, being helpful no matter what happens. I don’t care! I just hope I’m doing the right thing... i just hope!
I love your use of vocabulary! I agree with what you said about the life of a person with integrity.

Wow! I love the way you were strong about your opinion! It made me think of how humans think that money and gifts are all about life.
ReplyDeleteThe strength of how you are judging yourself is a little harsh, but I do like how honest you are being with yourself. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you described integrity, but the way you are putting yourself down like that is a little extreme. I respect your honesty though. Really good job on the blog I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteTyler H/SGGS
Awesome! Very good job on the writing! Just try not to put yourself down so much. Great honesty though.

I think you had a lot of good points in this paragraph. For example when you said " They do it because it’s the right thing to do not because of fame or money ." I think that is a great point, and I agree. Just one thing, don't forget to capitalize your "I"s.

Very nice post, I have to agree with Matt when he says "The strength of how you are judging yourself is a little harsh" but you wrote a very nice post. You really seem to understand what kind of person you want to be.
ReplyDeleteVery deep and interesting post.I understand the pressure and issues of being a teen and especially at this time of our life.But focus on the positive things!Whenever you are feeling down trust in God,have faith and keep hope.And remember no one is perfect.

DeleteThis s a very good blog post! I like how you tied it into your life. I also like the part were you said "we are all humans why must we need money or gifts in order to help others", because I completely agree. I also said that it is okay if we get thanked with a gift but I don't think people that help others should feel entitled to anything.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a good blog post. Like you said "Why must everyone think when they did something right there should be a prize for them." really makes me think about myself, and if I am being a good person or not. This post was great and made me think about myself.

I liked how you defined integrity because if you were reading this and you new nothing about "integrity" it would be very helpful to the reader. Good job! :)

DeleteI think that your blog is great. I love the part where you say " Why must everyone think when they did something right there should be a prize for them. In fact no prize should be given to anyone; we are all humans why must we need money or gifts in order to help others". I completely agree with that.

I loved your blog and the way you referenced it to real life situations. I liked how you said, "Why must everyone think when they did something right there should be a prize for them." Some people decide not to do the right thing because they will not be rewarded, but the real reward is knowing that you did something kind for someone else.
ReplyDelete-Grayson SGGS
I like your post because I can relate to everything you said. I liked how you went into context about what integrity truly is like when you said integrity is not about admiration but it's about righteousness and thing you do that come from the heart.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your post Jacob! Your post really spoke to me about the true meaning of integrity. This sentence is the best and is so true "They do it because it’s the right thing to do not because of fame or money."I really love this post and hope to see more post form you!

Good job! I liked your detail in your post. I agree with your post. Why do you think everybody doesn't live with integrity?

I really like you post Jacob. Why do you think people deserve a prize afeter they do a good deed?

When you said "We are all humans", that struck me in a very good way. No one is born perfect, we have to work towards that, even if it means making mistakes because that's what makes us human. And the way you compared yourself with the community to show how different everyone can be was also good. This is a job well done.

You have a great post! I really like what you said about how people who live with integrity don't live the way they do for a reward.

Hi Jacob,
ReplyDeleteI like how you put your own personal example. I believe that honesty mean integrity. I also believe that you are doing the right thing.

Hi Jacob,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you put yourself as an example because a lot of people don't have the gut to do that. Also you did a great job explaining yourself.
I agree that people now adays expect gifts for everything good that they do. I think that is very stupid because if you did something good for someone, you should do it from the heart, and not want anything in return. I am a person of integrity because I am constantly helping people whenever I can and I'm always honest. If you are being honest all the time and help out a lot, then you have a lot of intgrity. I do believe that you are doing the right thing. I think that this is a good post but make sure that you check for spelling errors (lower case i).

Thank you for being honest. I can relate to you. I wish I could be a better person sometimes, and sometimes I do have strong feelings of dislike for certain people. I get over it quickly, though, and don't be too harsh on yourself!
ReplyDeleteAngelo SGGS
Wow Jacob that was really deep, it seems you have a very strong opinion about this. You also have some really good vocabulary that really helped you on this subject. Very nice post.
ReplyDelete~Tyler B.- SGGS
I really like your definition of integrity. I know a few people who live a life of integrity and they live like you wrote. You should never hate yourself because of the way you are, only you can change the way that you are. This blog was very well written and keep up the good work.
