Rough Draft Responsibility is part of our society whether we know it or not. From birth we learn responsibility for our future endeavors in life. Growing up I learned responsibilities such as eating all my vegetables on my plate and sharing my favorite toys. However, I also learned something even more essential…we apply our definition and learned trait of responsibility in life through each step of growing up. Every day I use responsibility to act independently and make decisions in home, school, and work. As I grew up, my first concept of responsibility I acquired was developed through my home life. Here was where chores and self-care molded me into a more responsible person. Chores set standards for me by establishing a time limit therefore, requiring me to learn how to use my time properly. Consequences for both failing and completing these chores also produced a positive effect on me which increased my ability of being productive. Self-care has been taught since I was young through learning how to brush my teeth, use the restroom, and groom myself. All these learned skills can fall under the category of hygiene which promote proper etiquette and create structure as well. Self-care can also be categorized into self-feeding which is when I learned how to eat the correct way and become self sufficient. At home is where I obtained the basics of responsibility that prepared me for school. Furthermore, my eleven years of schooling have made a vast impact on my sense of responsibility and growth. Homework made a positive effect on me by keeping me on task to work efficiently and manage due dates. Due dates have also contributed to my responsibility to prevent procrastination and avoid consequences for late work. My experience at school has also increased my sense of self-management by improving my skills. With this in mind, I taught myself to keep up with my grades and make up bad grades to then work
