In today’s society people are busier than ever and personal responsibility takes on a whole new meaning. Being a college student and raising a family in this era can be a big challenge and requires dependability and commitment. However, adhering to personal responsibility is also having a strong character.
My family relies on me to support them financially as well as to be the husband and father. They depend on me to have a job that pays for the mortgage and additional monthly expenses. They rely on me to fix things around the house, drive them to school or work, and be there for them when they are stressed out or just want to have a good laugh.
Being a successful student requires me to complete assignments on time so that I can get good grades. I’m responsible for staying organized a managing my time effectively. My classmates and I rely on one another to complete team assignments. If I don’t stay focused and studious then I’m apt to fail classes. My success as a student depends on my commitment to a well thought out plan and specific goals to meet.
Marrying my wife is another commitment I’ve made. As her husband I need to be there for her as well my son. We commit as a married couple to raise a family in a nice home, nice neighborhood and have dependable jobs that will support us through the years. In my marriage and as a student I’ve set goals for myself and discussed with my family how I will achieve them.
Achieving goals requires hard work, careful planning and commitment to the plan. When we set goals for ourselves in the classroom, everyone involved must understand the goal, have clear instructions on what their role is in the group, and stay motivated to complete their assigned tasks. My personal responsibility will be to set out a schedule for myself to follow to complete assignments. I will be communicating within the classroom about assignments, getting help when needed. Finally
