Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.”]]> 2017-12-19 19:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailtoth21/hn3844a0x13v/wish/217347184 abigailtoth21 https://padlet.com/abigailtoth21/hn3844a0x13v/wish/217347924 Believing that being a good person is extremely important and should never be something that anyone should regret, my main mantra or essential truth is “No matter what you do in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” This reminds me to never go out of my way to make someone feel bad about themselves in any way, but rather instead to raise people up and remind them of their terrific, unique qualities. My parents have always told me that I can do what I want with my life, as long as I grow up to be a good person who remembers where I came from and recognizes the good in every individual.  My essential truth helps inspire me to do this.

I feel that this statement goes hand and hand with my essential truth, being that when doing good things, one makes others feel good. I want to leave a legacy of being a good person, so I can inspire others to be good people, too. My essential truth reminds me to strive for this.]]> 2017-12-19 19:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailtoth21/hn3844a0x13v/wish/217348778 abigailtoth21 https://padlet.com/abigailtoth21/hn3844a0x13v/wish/217350176 Just as my essential truth inspires me to be a good person, Father Greg Boyle, a young girl named Senna, and social justice activist, Pope Francis, all inspire me to strive to make a positive impact on the world.
