2021; a year of responsibility and commitment

BY MAKAYLA B. – 12 YEARS OLD

“In order to win and succeed in life, responsibility is so important. This is part of being an adult and learning to be responsible for everything.” Tonya R. Owens

At the age of twelve, I have many responsibilities and things that in order to be finished, require commitment. Both of those are very important, and without it many things would be a mess, and tons of people would lose their jobs.

Responsibility is something that reminds us to take care of what we have to do and gives us the ability to take ownership of what you have done. In almost all of the super hero movies it has mentioned something about responsibility, and showed us that we have the ability to do something that could potentially help someone or help to keep people safe.

Things like drawing, painting, sculpting, writing, and even something like reading all require commitment. Without it, anything we do would only end up being half done, and that is a problem. If no one ever took responsibility, this world would be quite horrid and many problems would arise. Without commitment almost everyone would lose their jobs, because they wouldn’t do their jobs, and practically every kid in school wouldn’t have their homework done.

One of my goals for this year is to help out more around the house, and that I’ll have to become more responsible and try to put more effort into everything I do. I’m doing this to make things easier for my parents. With a new year comes new responsibilities, and goals that need to be achieved.

With great power comes great responsibility” Spiderman
