Personal Responsibility

    Personal Responsibility to me is your actions are your responsibility even if it involves other people. You and only you are responsible for what you achieved and have done. Personal Responsibility is very important to get you through life, you can not blame others for your mistakes, you have to take responsibility.
   When you should take responsibility could be confusing, what if it was not your fault, you did not mean to, etc. You should take responsibility when someone expects you to do the right thing, if they left something in your hands and you let someone else use it. Also you are always accountable for every action you make, like if you hit some one you should take responsibility and own up to it. Every time you are left in charge, you should take responsibility for events that happen.
    For example, if you let someone borrow a book that was not yours, and they ruined it you have to take responsibility for it. Even though you are not the one who ruined it, you borrowed it from someone else so therefore they are holding you accountable for the book. The person who ruined it should also take responsibility for their actions and do the right thing and pay for a new one. So both people should take responsibility but for two different reasons.

exploration and discovery

  Some ways in which people throughout the ages have explored the unknown is through cancer research, and exploration for new land. Many people did not know much about cancer and some scientists decided that they wanted to find a cure. With all the experimenting they came across that radiation could help cancer. Exploration for new land  was  difficult for many people because they did not know what they could encounter. 
   Scientist devoted themselves to this to help saves many lives and prolong life. They new devoting themselves would be worth the time and effort. Land explorers devoted their time to this to help their country gain territory. They felt the need to honor their country.
     Many people had to sacrifice their lives to find  items that helps cure cancer. Explorers also sacrificed their lives to find land. They also had to sacrifice time with their family and loved ones. Scientists had to sacrificed embryos, that could have turned out to be amazing people, just to find cures. This was all worth it to them because they felt honored in the end.
