Things that I value...
-Family
-Honesty
-Friendship
-Serving Others
Those are just some basic ones. A quality that I really value in others is being able to stand up for what you believe in and what matters to you. Strong people are just attractive to me from all aspects.
Values make up the backbone of ones personality, and they are something that belong to you. They can be shared, but your values are ultimately yours. Values are what motivate you to do things. Values play a huuuggeee role in leadership, which is what this class is all about!
Pi Phi instilled values in me that I will carry for the rest of my life. We learned a lot about them in our new member period, and all of Pi Phi's values really meshed with my already existing ones. That's part of what drew me to Pi Phi from the beginning. My mom was huge on values while I was growing up and she always wanted my sisters and I to create our own values, not just "use" hers, which I think is really great!
That's all for now
Love,
Chelsea
i love how your mom always wanted you to create your own values. i feel like ive gone with a lot of my moms values. i am pretty outspoken if i disagree with things and i know my mom wants me to think for myself, but i feel like most of my emotions align with hers.
ReplyDeleteshe was different. my mom is very liberal, and my grandma has a george bush calendar on her fridge. my mom has always stood for what she believes in and thats a trait that i hoped i have gained from her.
Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. Pi Beta Phi has also instilled values in me that will last a lifetime. The four values that you have listed (family, honesty, friendship, and serving others) are all things that encompass the Angels at Pi Beta Phi. See you in class or at the house! haha
I really agree with you on your top four values or whatever. I share them with you as well. I never really thought of values making up someone's personality but having read your post it's starting to make some sense to me. Gives me a new perspective on how I look at the way my values affect me!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your values 100%. I also like what you were saying about your values being yours. I think that you can base values off what your parents and friends think but ultimately it is up to you to decide what matters most in your own life. And you have to be able to stand by what you believe even if other people don't always agree with you.
ReplyDeleteJust a side note too I think its awesome that Pi Phi has related so much to your values because I know Alpha Gam has done the same for me.
chelsea i totally agree with you on creating your own values and not just going along with what all of our parents exactly want us to value. I think that each person is an individual and you may have similar values but they mght not always be in the same order or be for the same reasons. Becuase i've known you before you joined greek life i can honestly say you have always possesed high values, morales, and ideals to live your life, but it is so nice to see that pi phi has made all of those grow and change. Pi phi has done wonders for you and I love to see that you are surrounded by a group of girls that value the same things that you do. I think the values of greek life should be stressed more often!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you said "your values are ultimately yours" because I could not agree more. Values make up character and show a persons true colors. And your top 4 values are probably 4 of the most important things in a persons life. Really great post.
ReplyDeletei agree 100% with everything you said.. not only are your values basically the same as mine in one way or another, but they way in which they have been instilled in you reminds me exactly of how i was raised, too.
