Philosophy Of Life

            Everyone has certain emotional needs and values, that is what makes us all individual.
             These needs and values come from past experiences, they are learned. Among many.
             values I have two that are most important to me; respect and honesty. Although I have.
             other values such as responsibility, trust, and love; through my experiences the most.
             important are respect and honesty. As I was saying before, these values are learned.
             behaviors, one experience in my life taught me the most about how important respect.
             and honesty are in relationships. About a year ago, I learned a lesson I value, I had.
             been dating my boyfriend for almost two years. One day I woke up to a telephone call.
             from a good friend, she was telling me that the night before at a party my boyfriend.
             kissed another girl. I was deeply hurt by this and truly felt it was the end of the world. .
             Besides the fact that he cheated, when I confronted him he lied to me multiple times. .
             After this incident I realized I would have felt much more comfortable with the break up.
             if he had told me himself. This is when I realized that respect for one another, for.
             example respect not to cheat and honesty for one another because if he were to tell me.
             the truth it would have been much easier. I noticed that if these two factors came in to.
             play survival would have been much easier at that point and time. Thankfully I have.
             moved on from that and feel I have taken this experience with me to warn me of future.
             encounters. .
             Not only does this encounter change my views on relationships, it also made me.
             more motivated to accomplish things I would like to do rather than being with my.
             boyfriend. This year my top priority is graduating. I want to finish the year out with.
             good grades and the courses I need under my belt to graduate and move on to college. .
             A huge goal I had in the beginning of the year was to do well on my SAT's. I.
             accomplished this goal, receiving an 1190 on the standardized tests.
