My second core value is dependability. This is a value because I do not like uncertainty and when someone asks something of me, if it is within my ability I try to do what is asked. I want to know if someone will show up and be present and be there for me when I …show more content…
I value these because, I believe the person you are today, should be better than you were yesterday and change in the right direction for the better is gone. I strongly believe, that the more you know the better off you are. I live by the statement, “know better, do better”. I value education because, that is one thing no one can take from you. Too many people, have fought for my right to learn. As an African-American woman, I should hold education dear and honor those who have come before me from accomplishing my education goals.
My fourth core values are consistency and balance. I value consistency and balance, because most things can be measured by right and wrong, good and bad or answered with a yes or no.

I try to live by the following principles: autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence. With the first principle, autonomy, I believe people have the right to choose; their life, their choice. Because of my religious beliefs, they will one day have to meet their maker and at that time, it will be between them. People should have the right to choose as long as it is not detrimental to themselves and does not harm others.
The second principle, beneficence, I try to follow this principle by trying to have my actions be in the best interest of others and I show compassion and kindness to others. I am a helper by nature. I want to do good at all times, and hope that others try to do the same. It gives me a heavy heart to see others, do something that is unjust and does more harm than
