My Personal Mission Statement.

It is my mission to live a life of positivity, integrity, compassion and gratitude. To remain committed to my Jewish values and way of life. And to make the world a more meaningful place through developing significant relationships with those around me.

My Personal Philosophy

I am a strong willed teenager who knows what I want and what I stand for. I am very principled in what I believe in and I am prepared to firmly back up and justify my convictions. In order to live a life of integrity, I have had to constantly remain positive through the challenges of my youth. Peer pressure as well as a range of new and demanding experiences have constantly tested my beliefs and values. On more than one occasion, I have had to stand up for my values – often alone, and yet have managed to remain committed and faithful to what I believe in. This quality is essential to me in living a life of integrity in my future.

My core values are : courage, compassion, confidence , creativity , decisiveness, determination, discipline , efficiency , neatness, family, friendships, forgiveness, fun, generosity, happiness, kindness, love, optimism , religion and trust.

By opening up to the trait of gratitude , I see profound good every day of my life. This contributes greatly to my having a positive attitude and outlook on

    C.S. Lewis once said that “Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.” While reading Calvin Coolidge’s Senate Speech, it was this quote that lingered in my mind most prominently. Integrity is a major value that is discussed throughout Coolidge’s speech and a value that is becoming increasingly relevant as the world continues to grow, technology increases, and society becomes more corrupt. Integrity, in itself is a very important quality that a public servant must possess, in order to be an effective leader and in order to navigate through the trials and difficulties of modern day society. Calvin Coolidge specifically discusses these values when he talks about “Doing the day’s work.”

He emphasizes the aspect of cherishing everything that life has given even if they are ordinary and do not impact us. This connects to me as it conveys the message that one’s life has been granted many privileges, whether tangible or intangible, and one should treasure them deeply before their presences are gone. As it will then be too late and we will regret not truly valuing them.
