...Choice of Ending the Cycle Lawrence Miller Jr. Composition I Instructor Hewlett April 25, 2015 When does the cycle come to an end? Better yet do I start the process to change the cycle? I sit for days on end, trying to collect my thoughts of what I picture my life would be like, rather than the images of my childhood. Images of my mother being beaten by my father, will forever be a stained memory in my brain. Missing out on growing up with my siblings, because of the choices I made. The only solution my mother could come to was sending me away. This cycle of being a deadbeat father, uneducated, abusive and alcoholic now I was carrying the burden on my shoulders. One day I said I can’t continue down this path. After all the headaches, stress, endless jobs my decision became very clear, college is the final decision. I realize if I want to strive for greatness and become a solid provider, role model for my family, secondary education is required. My days as a child, I could remember sitting in my room dreaming of what I wanted my life to be like. I told myself I would have a family, house and awesome job.

...Personal Responsibility In order to success at life, and to achieve our goals, personal responsibility is something we need in order to accomplish this. Personal responsibility, to me, is caring for my growing family and going back to school to in order to provide a better life for my family, a life I was not given. Going back to college and being successful at that is very important to me, because my family counts on me. They rely on me to provide for them, to nurture them, and to be an example to them. Juggling college, a career, and a family can be extremely stressful at times. There is not very much time in the day to work full time, spend time with my family, and go back to school. In order to be successful at all these things it takes a great deal of responsibility. I have to achieve the mind set of how important my career, family, and school are and set a schedule to give myself ample time to spend on all these things. I believe that going back to school can force me into taking the responsibility to be successful in college and give me the focus to set goals for my future. To achieve my goals I have to take the responsibility to set a schedule to allot time for work, school, and my home life. I work hard in my career to provide for my family and make sure my bills are paid on time and everyone is happy and healthy.

Luckily, earning a college degree isn’t quite life or death, however it is still very important. Being successful in school means implementing some of the same techniques taught in the Marines. These qualities, such as personal responsibility, accountability, morality, time management, and self discipline are skills necessary to succeed in life. Personal responsibility is being able to hold yourself accountable for your own actions in life. The ability to take an organized, disciplined approach to a task utilizing skills such as maintaining your morality, personal accountability and organization is pivotal for success with anything you put your mind to in life including college.

...Personal Responsibility Tim Sisson GEN 200 March 24, 2012 Virginia Mapes Personal Responsibility What is Personal Responsibility? Personal responsibility is defined by Merriam-Webster (2012), as: “Responsibility: the quality or state of being responsible; as moral, legal or mental accountability.” This definition can take on many annotations. It is my opinion in regards to this paper that Personal Responsibility is what makes up a person’s ‘moral fiber’. It is the ability to make decisions based on what a person feels is right or wrong. It is that little voice in the back of a person’s head that guides them when life presents choices and challenges. Those who possess Personal Responsibility tend to make wiser choices and decisions in life. These wiser decisions are made for the fact that they know that they will be held accountable for their actions. Personal Responsibility is the hallmark of success in all aspects of a person’s life. It is that individual who makes the wiser decisions in life that will tend to be more successful in life. Individuals have the choice to make right and wrong decisions in life. Galindo (2010) states “It is their morals, ethics, and personal responsibilities that guide them through life in their decision making process.” A persons ‘moral fiber’ is defined by how they make those decisions. Will the individual be responsible and make the right decision or will he possibly make an easier, less responsible choice? Is the thought...

This also includes accommodating the significance of the results of what you do. (Swarmer, 2012) Personal responsibility means taking responsibility for your decisions. When talking about this term, you’re using personal responsibility as a yardstick to measure up to what you want to accomplish in life. Usually personal responsibility starts off with a task, a want or a desire. Sometimes you take care of these duties on your own, or you might work them out in a group.

I really did not understand her until I got older. One day my mother and I got into an argument and never really got along after that. So I moved out and moved in with my cousin. I was only 12 years old. I needed to learn how to be a responsible adult. I had no one to take care of me and I was on my own. So I had to learn how to grow up a lot quicker than other kids my age. When I got older I needed to figure out what I wanted to do after high school. So I joined the Marines. The Marines taught me different ways to be responsible. During my Marine Corps career I was taught different learning styles and how to be persistent to reach your goals. Without the corps I probably would have not done anything with my life. When I left the Marines I felt I needed to apply 3 key elements to be successful. These key elements are personal responsibility, learning style and persistency. What is Personal Responsibility?
