Later this week you will be receiving your egg "babies", what kinds of tough choices do you have to make when you have a baby? Or maybe better yet, what choices do you lose when you have a child at a young age?
This week it's all about making choices in life. These choices can be about things as simple as doing your homework each night, or as important as who you may marry, but every choice is made better by examining your values. Without using names, discuss a choice you know was made and what values were involved that made it the right choice.

Some choices are more important than other choices. As we get older the choices we have to make get more and more important. We no longer have someone else making all the decisions for us. Just the decision to chose a high school was very stressful for me. Since my parents are divorced and live in different areas it was up to me to chose between Steel and Granite. My mom was dead set on me going to steel and my dad really wanted me to go to Granite. They left the decision to me but it made it difficult knowing i was upsetting one of them.

That must have been tough! What did you decide and what values did you use to make this decision?

I decided Granite, values i used was a lot of self interest. One of the big turning points is the teaching program they have at Granite. But also i thought of the difference it would make for my dad and how much it would help him.

Is self-interest a value?

I had to make a choice to and my mom actually wanted me to go to Steele. Of course she points out the good things about it but I have heard bad things about it as well. But that's for any high school. I am mainly going to Granite because of all the people I know are going but I've also heard from others that go to Granite and they say how much they love the school. The values I used is just how many people that say how great it is compared to how bad it is. I haven't heard much but most high schools are pretty similar.

This sounds like you relied on the values of your friends. Is that good or bad? Oh, and which values did they use?

I've had to make the most difficult choice once. A friend a long while back was texting me and we were having a simple conversation. All of a sudden they told me that he or she was going to kill themselves. What could I do? So I hid in the bathroom. My sister later got me out and asked me what was wrong. I knew she would tell my mom and I really didn't want that. But I couldn't let my friend die. I had a choice to tell her. I did and I'm proud that I did. My values honesty and respect.

Yes, these things should always be taken seriously. I'm glad you were her friend.

I saw this kid name "Gabriel" get busted with drugs. He got caught three times but he got expelled from the district. He missed out hanging out with his friends and his girlfriend, yearbook signing, harbor cruise and graduation.

Okay, you are right, but connect "Gabriel's" drug issue with having a kid. I'm sort of unclear.

Most kids my age think smoking weed is cool and it's fine as long as u don't get caught. But using any drug is wrong and my friend "Tim" was at a party and was offered some weed but he made the right choice of politely saying no and I think he made the right decision
Mr. Casey

I think its a good decision too, but now you should think about the kinds of people you are partying with. Are these your best choice? Could you influence them not to smoke?

I know someone who saw a kid being bulled but stepped in and helped him. He showed respect, equality, social justice, and responsibility.
Mr. Casey

What did you do to step in? Be specific. Why weren't you worried about becoming the one to get bullied?

My values were equality, because I listen to both reasons of my friends and family. But overall I heard better things about granite, but also bad things, same with steel though, so I chose to go to granite and I think I'm going to like it. 5/21/2014 04:31:25 am
I know someone how choice to do there homework every day the right way.This way in pack his life by getting good grades and he get to go to college and getting a good job. The value were responsibility.

Every morning I have the option to not wake up and not go to school, but I choose to get up and go because I'm responsible enough to realize that If I don't go there are consequences. Those consequences are not getting an education, which leads to not getting into a good college, which leads to a bad job and a regretful life

This is about the baby part of the blog. When you have a kid sometimes you have to make tough dissensions like wither to keep the child or give it up if you don't think your ready and if you want to be a stay at home parent or go to work and leave the child at daycare or with a babysitter and if your a teen parent you have to decide between staying in school or dropping out. Being a parent is having to make dissensions and if your not ready to make those dissensions then your not ready for parent hood.

I think he won't do good because he might not go to college cause he ruined his career and he might not get a good job that might not pay him enough to raise the kid.

I think it can be easy making choices because, its a yes or no thing but it can always come to drugs and other bad things which is the hard part because if you get yourself into those things it can be very challenging to pull yourself out. Comments are closed.
