My first value that I feel the most is joy. It's joy because I always try to stay positive to make everyone else happy. I try to stay as joyful as I can because then it will make my surrounding area a much more calm, bright, and happy place. I want to make sure the world is a better place by making sure that my joyfulness can make people happier. I also make sure those hard, tough moments don't get me down. I make the best of those moments and try harder. I also be as joyful as I can when someone else is sad or I'm sad. I will try my best to give them a joyful value. I influence this value towards my community by making everyone feel joyful so not only me but everyone will do kind deeds to others.
My next value is independence. I always want to do things on my own even when I know I need help. I like to be independent because then for work I get all the credit instead of someone else getting half the credit for my work. I like to be independent because then I can feel proud for what I did not what others did or helped me with. I get things done faster when no one’s there pressuring me to get done or to tell me I am wrong and I must do it their way and use their ideas. I love to be independent. My value of independence influences my community by teaching people you’re not always going to have help and you are going to sometimes or maybe even all the time not be someone available to help you.
My last value is originality. I show originality by being myself and expressing myself. I always stand up for my beliefs and don't care if people disagree. I also that I express myself in music, art, and in my writing. I also try even though I may be 100% wrong.
I will always value joy, independence, and originality for the rest of my life and hope to make the world a better place. My value of originality influences my community by teaching people to stand up for their rights and to be themselves. This will also help people stand up to bullies or make a bully realize that what their saying and physically doing is wrong.

The value most important to me is Uniqueness, because if you are unique, then you are different than everyone, and not exactly the same. When I first met my friends Avery and Audrey, I noticed that even though they are twins, they are still different in some way. Being the same as someone EXACTLY, is no fun. Everyone is different. When yuo are unique, you can be yuor own person, and not someone else. The second most important value to me is Intelligence. If you are intelligent, then you are a smart person. When you are intelligent, you can become successful. If you are not very smart, then you may not become very successful, because people only want people who knows how to do the job, and do it because they need a job so they can keep their house and pay for food. Also, if you are intelligent, you can get into a good college, and not one that barely teaches you anything because yuo didn't have the money and couldn't get a scholarship to a better college, because you weren't very good at sports, mathematics, english, or any other mechanism that could get you a scholarship.  Finally, I value Obedience. If i was watching my brothers, and they started to get out of control, it can be hard to get them back under control. That would mean  they do not have obedience. It is good to have obedience because if you didn't, then people might be frustrated with you a lot, and it is not fun or good to have someone mad or frustrated with you because you are too out of control. Those are the three values that are most important to me.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value is creativity because you get to use your imagination and create things of your own that are different from everyone else’s idea. My second value is honesty because you always want to be trusted. If someone needs you to keep a really big secret and you want to be able to be trusted. If someone finds out that you cant be trusted it will spread and everyone will know and that will stick with you for all or most of your life. My last value is adventure because life is boring without adventure. You should take risks and you should never let anyone tell you how to live your life and if ou have adventures your creativity comes into that.

My first value is hard work because if you work hard at everything in life, people will notice and say, "Wow! Your good at that." When somebody says that to you, it makes you feel good.  For example, when I played my soccer game, I was running nonstop all game and at the end of the game my coach said, “Good hustle Zach.”  It made me feel good and keep wanting to work hard at everything.  My second value is thankfulness because someone could do something nice for you and if you don’t say thank you, the person will never know that you are thankful for what they did for you.  An example of thankfulness is on Thanksgiving when you are thankful for family, friends, and your life.  My last value is family because your family are the people that care for you the most.  They get you through hard times and support you in every step of your life.

My three values are hard work because I will always work hard I will never quit example one time I had a sprang arm and I could not write but a push threw it and I learned to write even though it was uncomfortable I push past it my second one is creativity because I will try and find another way past an obstacle example one time I was board so I created a game a on

# data[].attributes.body
My first value is being the best because I try to make my family proud of me by getting good grades and not being a disappointment to my family so trying my hardest is making my family proud. My second value is positive because I believe I could do stuff when someone says I cant. For example, when i was at basket ball camp I made the hot shot champion chips and some one says you cant beat him he is going to win, but I never listened to him. After I versed him and won by two points and we tied five times with each other. So I stayed positive even though someone says I cant do it. My last value is fun because what is life without fun it cant just be working all the time. For example the things I do for fun is basketball. Basketball is fun and you dont have be writing anything just playing.

The first thing I value is leadership because I believe every group of people need a leader to direct them in the right direction. The second thing I value is speed because I like when things are done quickly like my chores and homework. The last thing I value is fun because I like doing things that I enjoy and I like having a good personality

# data[].attributes.body
The first value I feel is achievement. I feel achievement when I accomplish something huge like the end of a baseball season or the end of a school year or when I finish a big chore/ job

The second value I feel is positivity. I like to feel/ be positive as much as I can. I get stuff accomplished when I’m feeling positive including sports or general every day activities.

My final value is honesty

I value honesty because honesty   everything easy. For example If you say you did your homework but you didn’t do it  you are dishonest and it affects your grade

These are the three feelings I value

The first thing I value is selflessness. Selflessness is putting others before you and taking care of others of their going through a hard time or if they just need a friend to talk to. I could connect this to school, this could help because when someone in school needs help with their essay or a math problem you would help them so they would do a good job on their work. Also if a friend or a stranger drops their things in the hall you should help them pick up their stuff because you would want help if you dropped your stuff. The next thing I value is creativity, creativity is being original and not taking others opinions to change your work because when you are creative you are more open to differences in the world or other people. You could use this during art class if you were doing a project you would need to be creative to have a special art piece I connected this to school. The final thing I value is calmness, calmness is having self control or not going crazy over something little. I would connect this to anything because if you hear something in your neighborhood you shouldnt always believe it like the same thing with the news you cant always believe it.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value that is the most important to me is uniqueness. I value being unique because you are only yourself out of the entire world. If you can learn to march to the beat of your own drum you will be happier in life. For example in school, wear what you love to wear and not what others tell you too. I believe everyone should act like their self to inspire others too, that are having trouble coming out of their shell. Another one of my values is intelligence. I value intelligence so I can and will learn to make good decisions in life. Every day in communities kids are falling behind and skipping school, and this is hurting the population of educated children. People need to start stepping up and taking school seriously, especially starting at a young age. I want to be one one the young people taking charge. The final value is commitment. I value having commitment because I want to show everyone that I ever work with that I will do my very best in everything that I do, and I wont give up without a fight. If you give up and show that you do, chances are likely that most people will not trust you to do things in life, especially when you get older. While working in school, everyone wants to do their best. But there always is that one person that does not commit to the assignment, and is more of a follower. Children should start to commit to many more things than they already do. Life goes by fast and you always have to be prepared for the future. These are my three commitments and why. Remember to always try your best, and march to the beat of your own drum.

The first value that I feel is most important is honesty becaumo. Honesty will make you kinder and have more friends. One time when I was honest I made a new friend in a new school. My next value is determination because. You have to be determined to get though goals to be successful. Once had to do have hard work to finish like the mile run club had alot of determination to do so. My final value is freedom because. If we had none people would not follow the rules. For example people would make the world a very bad place.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value is creative✨. Its important to be creative because if you are not creative than you won't  be able to do much in life or other people will have to give you ideas. To me creative is being able to think of things that are out of the box or unique. creative has to do with independents because you are not relying on other people to think of things for you. My second value is independence.

# data[].attributes.body
The first value I feel is most important is loyalty. It is my number one value because you have to be loyal to your friends so that so that your friends will trust you and know that you will have their back and then they will have your back too. For example if you were loyal you would always have your friends back like if they had a big tournament or something else. My second value is freedom. It is my second value because you have to realize that you are free and not a lot of other countries are, so you are very lucky. For example the people in Cuba they are controlled by a dictator and in America we are controlled by a democracy so the laws say that we the people of the United State have the freedom of speech and religion. My final example is control. I value control because people need to stay under control. For example if we didn't have laws it would be really crazy and people would just start killing each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I beleive my first value is vitality because my mom might have a tumor or a problem with her so I need to keep her happy and the reason is I care about my mother. My next value is adventure because if your afraid you might miss a special moment in your life one time I was afraid to go on the boat on niagra falls but my mom dad and little brother talked me out of it and it affects my family . My last value is care I want to be a vetrinarian the reason is I care about animals and the people who would bring them to me I care about my brother who got sick these are my values.

# data[].attributes.body
My most important value is honesty because I believe that she should always be honest then people will trust there for if you always told lies you will break your trust with people. For example, the boy who cried wolf always lied about there being a wolf and people at first believed him but as he lied more and more people started trusting him less and less and then people didn't trust him at all anymore. But one day when there was actually a wolf and when he told everyone they didn’t believe him because of all the times he cried wolf and was lying. The next most important value is hardworking because I believe you can’t be doing your best without being hardworking

# data[].attributes.body
my first value is creativity because when you are creative you get to use your imagination.My second value is honesty because when you are honest people wont trust.Once someone finds out it will spread and soon nobody will trust you and it will stick with you for all or most of your life.My last value is adventure because you

# data[].attributes.body
The value that I believe is most important to me is independence because everyone should be able to do at least one thing on their own without help. An example of me being independent would be the school wide turkey trot. During the turkey trot I stayed with myself and paced myself, i didn't worry about who was in front of me. I paced myself so that I would be proud of myself. My second most important value would have to be obedience because i believe that if you don't listen to others whether they're older or not, you should take there advice and/or listen to them, especially adults. i display obedience when i listen to my soccer coach so that i have lots of playing time to get better and keep impressing him. My least important value would have to be simplicity because if someone is not simple or go with the flow they could get angered very easily. Simplicity relates to me because i always try to be simple and not be complicated so that I wont start a fight. When i first got a phone I was really excited but didn't want to celebrate too much so that my younger brother wouldn't be upset. I was so excited that i got a phone, i had been waiting for about six months.

my first value i feel is

# data[].attributes.body
There are three values that I value the most over all the other values. The first value is diversity. Diversity is my favorite thing that I value because it really shows who I am as a person. I think everything should be different and nothing should be the same. If everything was the same in your country life would be no fun and you wouldn't be able to help people outside of your country. If nobody was different from any one then, no one could help homeless people get food, shelter, water, cloths, care, and more because they would just live life and move on without making a difference. Making a difference is the second thing I value. I love to make a difference not just at home, but in my country. I love to help people in need around the country get food, water, and more. If people don't stand up and speak the way they feel about homeless people living on the streets, than nothing good will come for our country and more and more people will die because they aren't getting the right care they need. I do not want the country to loose it's people because people wont stand up and make a difference. If we all donate a little to help people in need than we will have a better place. The last thing I value is bravery. In a organization like a sports team or club you need to have bravery. You need bravery because if are doing a sport and you are scared of the ball coming at you than you shouldn't play the sport which may impact your whole life if you love that sport. It will also affect your state. If everyone in your state is scared of being brave than one day if something happens to you than no one will be there to save you. Those are the three things I value diversity, making a difference and bravery.

These days, diversity means more than employing a workforce with varied backgrounds. It's not about being politically correct or even inclusive. It means employing an assortment of personalities, with different backgrounds, skill sets and opinions to gain the best advantages for your company.
What is diversity?
Diversity can be of tremendous importance to your business. But first, you have to be clear on what it is diversity means to your organization, and how to leverage it effectively. In today's world, diversity is not just represented by race, religion or gender. Diversity in the workplace is about gaining access to a range of diverse ideas, thoughts and perspectives that can add value to strategic conversations; and allow your business to become more successful.

Diversity in the workplace drives innovation and can help establish a competitive advantage in the marketplace because you're the direct beneficiary of a much broader point of view; you receive a fresh and different perspective on any situation.
Implementing workplace diversity
Like What You See?

Want to learn more about diversity? More articles from Beth are just a click away!

Focusing on creating a diverse workplace in the stereotypical sense of the word can easily backfire. Instead, consider the systems you can implement to ensure diversity is used effectively within your organization. Instead of getting caught up in making a goal created specifically around diversity, take some time to examine your corporate goals and consider how a more diverse workplace will help you attain those goals.

These goals may include something as simple as increased revenue. What does your current customer base look like? You may have a customer base that appeals to Generation Y members, for example. How do you expand that appeal to baby boomers? Get a baby boomer's perspective. As a result, that perspective lends diversity and a point of access into expanding your client base and in turn, your profits.

Business leaders best handle this diversification. From a systematic perspective, you as a business leader need to take ownership of implementing a workplace diversity program. Too often this responsibility can fall on the shoulders of human resources employees when in reality, it's the business leaders who are in tune with the organization's strategic goals on a daily basis.
Challenges in diversity
Implementing any new program isn't without its challenges, and diversity in the workplace is no exception. Consider possible hurdles, such as lack of leadership or ownership in the process, managing change, the "what's in it for me" attitude, potential individual biases, perceived biases in a geographic region due to majorities, and the recruitment process. Leaders may need to be trained to recognize how their personal biases can act as roadblocks to a more diverse workplace. Each of these can present difficulty when designing a diversity program.
Think about the 'Big Picture'
To help you get started on your workplace diversity program, think about the subject in the broadest terms. Evaluate your organization in its current state and examine its present diversity. This will help you pinpoint gaps, and better understand how filling those gaps can improve your organization's performance and productivity. Again, it's important to find the connecting link between your corporate goals, and how a more diverse workplace will help you and your company reach those goals.

I have 3 values; family, challenge, and honesty. Family is most important to me because they always have my back. They know how to always make laugh when I'm having a bad day. For example when my sister came home from college I freaked out. She wanted to only surprise me and no one told me she was coming home since she knew I had missed her and it would make me super excited when I saw her. Next, I value challenge. If you don't ever face a challenge then you would never grow education wise or emotionally. Last year I worked really hard even though I had a lot of trouble understanding my teacher. I ended up getting straight A's in that class. I grew from that experience and now I know that I should really strive to do my best. The outcome can be what you had wanted, your goal. If I would have never faced that challenge I wouldn't know that I should push myself to do better or be where I am now. You also might go through emotional challenges that helps you grow your personality and find yourself as a person. This year I ended up being on a team that I knew no one on other then my friend Emma, who isn't in any of my classes so I had to make all new friends. I knew it was going to be difficult, but I really didn't want to go and make all these new friends. When I ended up going and making a bunch of new amazing friends I felt a lot better and I overcame my challenge. This value can effect people on a town, or national level or even global. Everyone faces challenges and that can be that a country is facing a challenge. Honesty is my last value. I know if I'm honest to everyone they will trust me. If I wasn't a honest person then I wouldn't have made a lot of friends, I would probably not have made as friends because no one wants to be friends with a liar. This value can impact on many levels depending on the situation. If you are working with laws, then state wide or national. If you are a public figure they can hide the truth and that could impact people on a national level. These are my three values in life and why they are important.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value is commitment, because I believe that you can do anything as long as you are committed to it. For example, I wanted to play Football for a while, it took me a long time before I started playing it, but I finally started because I was committed to being able to play the sport. Commitment helps a lot with goals you want to accomplish to, like trying to get Straight A's, or Trying to overcome this challenge, and I believe that if you are committed to it, you can do anything. My second value is determination, because when I feel determination, I feel like I can accomplish what I am trying to accomplish. I feel like I am fired up when I'm determined, and I feel confident. For example, I feel determination during Football games, when we are winning, I feel determined that we can finish it. This feeling that I value, its something really important, because I feel like I can wake up every morning and say to my ]self, everyday, "I can do this." And my third, and final value, is challenge, because I feel like whenever I challenge myself, than I can improve on what I need to improve on. Its kind of like setting a goal, and when you accomplish the goal, its like accomplish the challenge, and you get better at the category your challenge was based off of. For example, my challenge for my football season, was to at least score 2 touchdowns, and I this football season,  I scored  4 touchdowns this year, I overcame my challenge. All three of these values, commitment, determination, and challenge, are three values that are really important to me.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value is freedom, because even without this value right now, I wouldn't be typing right now. I value this because there are many other people in this world who don't have any freedom, and they get treated poorly. Most people can't even go out with most of there skin showing! That means that there is no community pools to get in and swim with friends. My second value is family, because most people don't have a family to share there feelings with and just live with someone else to take care of you. Like homeless people, and people waiting to be adopted, or even lost pets. That means even for us students, most of us have our mom's/dad's pack our lunch, and no one to go out and drive you to your sport practices and games. Even just to go out with your friends, it would take so much longer to get things done without our family. My final and last value is the value of education. Without education, this world would be absolutely nothing, with no progress. That means there wouldn't be the smart Albert Einstein, or Steve Jobs to make your mac-books or iPhone's, iPad's, etc. Again like I said with my value of freedom, without education there wouldn't be this laptop here that I am typing on! Or even this language that I am using to tell you the values that I respect.

# data[].attributes.body
The first value that I favor the most is uniqueness, being different than everybody else. I value this the most because I hate seeing people wear the "exact" same thing. In April my dad and I went to see Wicked (a musical) in New York City. The costumes that the actors wore were so unique and different then anything I've ever seen in my life. Most Broadway shows are "simple" or are close to being accurate to what it's based off of. Wicked is based off the book Wicked, but the costumes are so different than they are in the book. I value people being able to see someone in a unique different way. My second value is positivity. About two weeks ago I just started my quote wall again after ripping it off because I didn't want it any more. I was feeling really down and there wasn't a lot of positive people around me my environment also wasn't positive, it was about getting things done quickly as you can. I decided to start my quote wall again, all the quotes are positive, I don't have one negative quote on my wall. A lot of my quotes are from famous artists', poets, and some of them are from the Bible. I can look at them as much as I want on my free time which helps me. Lastly, my third value is being courageous. For my birthday I got a ring, a princess ring. It helps me know that I am different from everybody else in my own way. One way that I'm different from everyone else is that my hair is different, you don't usually see a lot of people with purple or blue hair. I'm also different because I can remember over fifty song lyrics. I can also remember two different musicals. The synonyms for courageous are; brave, bold, lionhearted, daring, and a lot more. I feel like I can relate to most of those words. Those are some of my personal favorite values

# data[].attributes.body
My first value that I feel is most important to me, is Forgiveness. I value forgiveness because i feel that it is always important to give everyone a second chance, because we all make mistakes. This value helps to create a stronger relationship with trust and friendship. My additional value that plays a role in my life, is leadership. I value this trait because it is important to be a role model and be your own person. You should be a leader, not a follower who just " goes with the flow." This value can create a role model in your community, and having someone to look up to is just what some people need to bring the leadership out in them. The following value I find is important is creativity. I value this because there are billions of people in the word, and there is only one you. You should use that as a encouragement to not just follow what everyone else does. You should be creative, and think outside the box. If everyone is creative and different, we can all come together with diversity as an agreed viewpoint.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value is Independent, I feel that this value is the most important because if you are not independent then you will not trust yourself. For one example of Independent is if you are doing a math test and someone says that the problem is a answer that you don't think is correct but you are Independent so you go with your answer and not the other person's answer. My second value is Honest because if you are not honest then know one will trust you. For example the boy who cried wolf and always lied about a wolf coming and then when a wolf actually came know one believed him. My Final value is Excitement because if you never get excited then people will think that you have no facial expression and feeling/happiness. For example if your friends through you a surprise party and if you just didn't care or get excited. Those where my values.

# data[].attributes.body
My first value that I feel the most is joy. It's joy because I always try to stay positive to make everyone else happy. I try to stay as joyful as I can because then it will make my surrounding area a much more calm, bright, and happy place. I want to make sure the world is a better place by making sure that my joyfulness can make people happier. I also make sure those hard, tough moments don't get me down. I make the best of those moments and try harder. I also be as joyful as I can when someone else is sad or I'm sad. I will try my best to give them a joyful mood.
My next value is independence. I always want to do things on my own even when I know I need help. I like to be independent because then for work I get all the credit instead of someone else getting half the credit for my work. I like to be independent because then I can feel proud for what I did not what others did or helped me with. I get things done faster when no ones there pressuring me to get done or to tell me I am wrong and I have to do it their way and use their ideas. I love to be independent.
My last value is originality. I show originality by being myself and expressing myself. I always stand up for my belief's and don't care if people disagree. I also that I express myself in music,art, and in my writing. I also try even though I may be 100% wrong.
I will always value joy, independence, and originality for the rest of my life and hope to make the world a better place.

The first value I feel is most important to me is the value of having serenity. Serenity means peacefulness and a sense of calmness. This value is critical to my life at home with my family. If I maintain serenity, when my son gets upset when doing his homework, I can remain calm and help him refocus. This value helps to build and strengthen relationships in my family life. The runner up value to the first is sensitivity. Being able to value sensitivity allows me opportunities to have positive interactions with my co-workers and students. If I was an insensitive person, it would be difficult for me to relate to what my students are struggling with. Therefore, I have to be sensitive to their needs by being a listening ear. Finally, I value tolerance. Tolerance, by definition, is the ability to accept opinions difference from your own in a respectful way. Tolerance does not mean that you have to agree with that person's opinion, but you should listen and respond with putting them down. This value directly relates to the state and national community to which I belong. By accepting that people will possess different opinions, I am able to conduct myself in a manner that is appropriate.
