PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Camp Leatherneck the most grueling memory one can experience. The year was 2011; I had a pregnant wife and daughter sitting at home waiting for my safe return. At that moment in time, I knew what was important and with this I had an obligation to my family who needed me. I was not going to take care of my family on this career alone. There is more to life, and if I was going to accomplish this, something else had to be done. Once decided, it was time to invest in an education, which would also take time and dedication. This new path would consist of differentiating what was a must and was a need. Even though one may face challenges, learning the importance of personal responsibility and what it means, personal responsibility versus college success, and incorporating it into one’s education will lead to a rewarding career.

The characteristics of personal responsibility can be defined in many ways. The fact or state of being responsible, holding oneself accountable for something within one’s power, control or management, is the definition of personal responsibility. This can pertain to personal life, work and academic environment, and finances. As a marine, the importance of personal responsibility was one of the biggest issues addressed. In the process, it taught me more about myself. I learned the commitments of having a family and serving my country. “Semper Fidelis!” as the Marine Corp would say meaning always faithful. The morals and values they have instilled reflect in my everyday life. However, at times situations become difficult, and it can cause any one to lose sight of what is important and their integrity. This is the outcome of the hardships when raising a family and trying to satisfy the needs of one self. This is why it is important to understand personal responsibility as a whole.
Responsibility and college success have any elements. Managing time and money are goals that must be analyzed and evaluated in order to understand how it can be effective. It will allow one to feel in control of life’s challenges and daily tasks. One must focus on the important things, but also making time for the less important because eventually those become important. Once one has managed time and money efficiently one will realize what needs to be done to keep this flow they have going. One most overcome, understand, and construct positive planning changing the mood of one’s attitude. Once the importance of planning is in progress the next step would to be look at the small accomplishments to help understand the relationship between responsibility and college success. So planning and understanding shows responsibility when it comes to saving money and organizing your time.

Health is a major role in personal responsibility because you need to have sleep due to all the energy and brainpower used for accomplishing goals. So this is when pacing your steps will help to understand that it is not a race; it is based on understanding and endurance. Make short-term goals that are easy to accomplish it might seem like slow happiness but it is not a race it is about pacing, learning the knowledge, and understanding what needs to be done. Pacing oneself will help by not burning you out or feeling overwhelmed. Everything will seem to be going in a timely manner thus making it easier for one to focus on work rather than to be cramming causing a blank thought process. Cramming can cause failure in accomplishments and unneeded stress. So pacing myself and health are a key combination on whether you will move forward or be at a standstill. I must make sure that pacing is routine and that health is a big part in their everyday life or study. Recording accomplishments is a great way to plan, by keeping track of grades and little things I like to do so that I will start to develop a better attitude. Seeing that it is possible for me to conquer the goals at hands gives me more confidence in my work. Procrastination is my problem that I have that can put me in a slump. Procrastination is my problem that makes me feel ashamed, from lack of motivation and afraid of end results. Eliminate procrastination by doing thing I like to do before starting work so my attitude is joyful. When I see that I can get things done that I like to do it changes the atmosphere of my thoughts on work. This is helping me to get work done and completing the task at hand.

So I can see that responsibility is not just being one track minded.
I understand that there are obstacles, but that there is always a way to avoid those obstacles. Understanding there is a process in being successful, personal responsibility and in education. Responsibility is something that I must focus on and keep focusing on, because procrastination is always an option. So staying on track getting organized and setting goals will push me forward in the direction I must go to understand personal responsibility. Personal responsibility must be earned by practice, as one practices personal responsibility it becomes second nature. 856
Michael: You have all the necessary elements of the topic included. However, your use of the term “one” throughout the paper becomes very tiresome. It is ok to use “I” in this paper, especially since it is about you.
Your formatting is a little off: the paper should be left justified only, not left and right. Cambria is not an acceptable font; you can use Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier. Be sure to use Write Point for your final paper to help you with the writing and grammatical errors you have. Most importantly, you were to include information from three library sources that support your points along with a References page. Your grade is reduced some because those items are missing.
