Values and What They Mean

To me, my values are the most important thing in my life, but being able to express them in words is kinda difficult for me. Like I don't really think about them they are just there and that's how I decide on things. Every decision I have ever made has a reflection on my values. Even taking this class shows that my values in life are important. I was raised to believe that you need to go through life respectfully in regards to others. That is my main focus in life. I'm a smartass and I like to joke around and have a good time and I will poke fun at someone but I don't mean anything by it and if it does hurt someone's feelings then I feel terribly about it.

My family and friends are one thing that I hold more dear to me then anything else in the world though. Without them I don't know where I would be today. I come from a very big family. Both my parents have five brothers and sisters and all but one of them have more than one child of their own. Growing up I was never alone. I always had like at least one of my cousins around me and I think that is why we are all so close today. And growing up through grade school and high school I was one of those people that had lots of friends and would talk to everyone. I knew how it felt to have someone there that cares and you can talk to so I tried to be that person for a lot of people. All of my female friends in high school always thought of me as a big brother and if they ever needed someone to tlk to, I was the go-to guy. Being able to know people and be there for them like that is awesome and you really develop a close bond and understand each other on levels that other people wouldn't understand. I think that's why I joined greek life and especially Delta Theta Sigma. I am so close to every guy in my house and know them well enough that I feel like I have known them so much longer than just college. My friends and family have to be the two things that I value more than anything but i do also value honesty, beliefs, education, and also people that are true to themselves. If you can truly show the real you completely to the world and be goofy or whatever it may be and not care what others think, that is awesome and i value the ability to do that.
