Today we discussed the idea of individual values and defined as something important to one person. We created a list of these values:
family, sports, friends, health, respect, freedom, independence, honesty, life, happiness, music, school and being successful.
For this evenings blog, please pick any 3 of the above or add some of your own and explain how these values make you an individual. Also comment on how this level of individuality sets you apart from family or peers or if it makes you just like them. If it makes you like them, then how are you an individual?

Family and friends, sports and healtth are my individual values. Family and friends are my first individual value becuase with out it, you would have nothing to live for. Sports are my second ivdividual value because they keep me entertained and healthy. Health is my third individual values because without it you wouldn't be able to go anywhere or do anything. These three things make me individual because not everyone values them and if they do then not like me. These values make me like some people because they like them but some people get way too into one of there values. I am separated from the others because I like to stay away from getting too into one value.
Family, friends, and music are my individual values. Family is one of my most important values. My family is going to be there for me no matter what i do or say. They'll always have my back. Friends are another really important value for me because i can tell my friends some things that i wouldn't tell my parents. There who i tell my life to and i trust them alot. Music is my third individual value. I listen to music all the time. I feel like if i haven't listened to music in awile then some part of me is missing. Music helps me control my emotions and i can really connect to it. These three values make me different because not everyone has the same values as me. Or if they do they might not feel the same way i do about them.
Happiness, family, and friends, are what float my boat. These values make me an individual because of the ways I think of each of the topics. Happiness is one of my individual values not because i have to be happy all the time but because it makes me happy when others are happy. If you always think of the negatives in life you are always going to have a bad day so with that i always look at it as if the glass were half full. Family is another one of my individual values, most people say "they're my family I have to love them" but its not like that with me i really do love everything about everyone in my family and wouldnt change them. They motivate me to go above and beyond of what they think im capable of in all situations and i love just kicking back and relaxing with them. Last but most certainly not least of my indivdual values is my friends. I have many friends and each of them seems to be different and helps me out in different ways. While some can help me with homework others can help me with sports, guys, clothes, or just to be my laughter for the day. This level of individuality sets me apart from my peers because of the way i think of all the topics, not everyone is going to think of these in the same way which makes us all individuals.
My top values would be family, friends, sports and music. Family and friends are important because there wouldnt be a way to grow and develop without someone who loves and cares for you. Sports are very valuable to me because sports keep you active and keep you off the streets and doing something stupid. Music helps keep your mind off stupid things and helps you keep your mind the right way. This level of individuality sets me apart from my parents and peers. This is because not all my peers have the exact same values as i do. If they do, they might not value them as much as i do.
Love, friendship, health, and music are mostly my individual values. Love is first on my list because without it you wouldn't get very far in life. Next is friendship, without this concept you would be very lonely and have no one to chat with. Health is third on my list because without it you would literally become a bump on a log. And finally I come to music. Music, in my opinion is what makes the world go round. There's music in all of us. These values of mine are very unique. I show and do these things every day.

The three values that define me most as a person are honesty, friends, and independence. Honesty is the biggest and most important thing I look for in a person. I don't like being lied to, and I don't lie. If I cannot trust you, how am I supposed to respect you or have any kind of friendship or relationship with you? The second individual value that I have is my friends. They are the people I trust most. Without them, I would be a mess. When I tell them things, I know they will be kept a secret. If I need advice, my friends are there! I know that no matter what I will always be able to count on them. Independence is my third individual value because, that's exactly what I am. I like doing things on my own. Making my own decisions is important to me. I like learning from the decisions I make, good or bad. Don't get me wrong, I like being independent, but, I still need people to be there for me. My individual values set me apart from everyone else because, I value these things in ways that other people don't understand.

I have many individual values that mean the world to me. A few of the main ones are life, happiness, and respect. Life is a value that seems to be taken for granted by a lot of people. The things that I have been through have caused me to appreciate each and every day that I breathe and walk and just live with ease. Valuing life sets me apart from the rest because I'm living every moment I have as if it were my very last. Another big personal value in my life is happiness. This is important and unique because cherishing happiness will only make life a lot more enjoyable and that's how I'm trying to live my life. Respect is also a big value of mine because I want to be respected as a person, as does any one else... so it really means that I treat others the way I would like to be treated. These things mean a lot to me and I believe they set me apart from everyone else.
being successful, family, and respect are my indivual values. they make me an indivaul by being successful because i want to go to the collage that i want to go to and the job that i want.family makes me an indivual by supporting me and the things i want to do. also if i have a problem they will help me when i ask or if i need it.respect help me as an indival because they allow me to walk in other peoples shoes and see what there life is like. repect also means to me that if i barrow it i would retun it when they need it and not destroy it. those would be the three main vaules that are around my life.
Three individual values that are important to me are: family, friends, and being successful. Family makes me an individual because not everyone has the same family as me. My friends make me an individual because each one of me and my friends has a special bond and we all contribute something different to our relationships. Finally I chose being successful in life because I want to go to college, I want to get a good job and I want to have a loving family when I'm older. My three values make me different from everyone because some people may not view some values like I do. For example, if people value being successful, they may think about money and power. When I think about being successful, I think about doing as much as I can and doing good at it. Graduating high school and college is what I view as being successful. Many individual values make me who I am.
To be honest i have to say that in some way i value almost everything on that list. Family, friends, and health are clearly three very important ones that, i hope. Every human being values. But i guess what sets me apart from other people is mainly how the values that are usually not as important to some people,are a little more important to me. For example, music and sports. Usually by guess, if people where to have put the list of values we discussed in class into a list organized by how much each student values each thing. Then most people would probably put miscalanous things like sports and music near the bottom or middle. While as for me i cherish values like that thus they would be closer to the top of my list along with several other highly important values. In the end the list of values could go on and on to a list that is impossible to categorize, it'll never end and if we had the time of just randomly listing values we could probably fill a whole chalkboard with a list of values and more!

For my individual values i think i would have to choose family, friends, and happiness. These are my individual values because they are very important to me. My family is extremely important to me because without them, i would have no home, and know where to go where i know that i am loved. I also value my friends because without them, i would be lost. I can tell them anything and everything. The last thing i value is happiness, because without happiness, you can't enjoy life. I think that what i value and what other people value is very different because we are all different people so we don't value the same things as much. Then there is people that might value things just as much as i do, because we may be similar people. But you are still and individual, because you are not exactly the same as him or her. But people don't really value the same exact things the same amount because, everybody is still different.
health, respect, and family are three of my most important values. in y opinion these values make me individual because of how much i value them family is on top like always but respect is above health. another reason that these values make me individual is by how i value them i value family because i am dependent on them and they provide me with all the human necessity and more so i would always put them above anything. i value respect because i like to be respected as a human so i will show respect back. health is another thing that i value because without health you cannot be the person you are EX. if you eat a lot of junk food you will be lazy and out of shape but if you eat healthy then you will be in shape and "spunky". those are the 3 values i value the most and how they make me an individual.
family, friends, and happiness are my biggest individual values. My family is always there for me, and took care of me all my life, and still are. i ow a lot to my family so that is why family is one of my biggest values. Another one of my individual values is friends. There who i spend most of my time with next to my family and i would probably be a totally different person if i didn't have them. Happiness is another one of my individual values. We only live so long so i want to enjoy it wile im here, and not wast all my time on doing work and worrying about things. Alot of people the same way about what i have just said, and some rather rather stress all there life to make money, but wats the point of having it if you cant enjoy it. I plan to do both
The three values that i value the most are family, honesty, and music. I value family because i would be weird not to. I value honesty because there isant anything worse then a liar or a theif. Last but not least music because it keeps me entertained when Mr.Kay is rambeling on about some random BS that i don't care about. I believe these keep me kind separate from others. They make me an individual and not like someone else. So i say i am separate from everyone because i don't like to go with the flow i like to change it up every once in a while.
The Three value's that I look to most would be life, family, and honesty. I value life because without life we wouldnt be here and we wouldnt have this assignment to do. I also value family, and I mainly mean parents in this family topic, because without your parents you would have no one to teach you whats right and wrong, whats acceptable ad whats not acceptable, and other things, and also your parents even though at times it may not seem like it, are always there to support you. Last but not least I also value honesty. Which is a very important thing in life, because if you cannot trust someone or you cannot be trusted, it can be hard to get along with some one, and keep friends and relationships.
