1. Motto The motto: honesty is the best policy The reasons you chose the motto: - personal philosophy - easier to live with - overall moral good My motto is honesty is the best policy because life is easier when we tell the truth. I have felt this way ever since I read the story of Pinocchio, the little marionette whose wooden nose grew whenever he told a lie. It just seems better to deal with the truth. As a result, there are no surprises or stories that dont match up. It also helps people treat themselves with more self-respect and in turn, others will treat them in a more dignified manner. Lying to others is lying to oneself. If everyone were honest, we would all fell well in our personal lives and in dealing at work. 2.

I had long hair of many colorsoften a mix of black, blond and blue. My clothes were big and baggy; nobody saw my shoes because my pants were so long and dragged on the ground. I felt comfortable in this way. It was a way of expressing my feelings about the world around me. However, my family didnt agree with this. They said it made me look lazy and careless in my attitude. People thought I didnt care about |
