My Core Beliefs
Exercise #1.2
Some of my core values and beliefs that I learned from my family vary. My mother’s values and beliefs that she taught us consisted of the Ten Commandments and what they meant. My father’s core values and beliefs consisted of believing in yourself, being proud of where you came from, having integrity and loving and standing up for our country.

She didn’t stop until she got to the root of the problem. How she did that was
