Being Responsible

Whether it is a job, a sport or just life in general you have to accept the fact that you are going to take on a lot more responsibility. In a job you have a certain task you have to do, if you don’t do that task then you aren’t taking on that responsibility. In sports you play one position. You don’t need to worry about what other people are doing with their position. The only thing you need to be focused on is taking the responsibility on of being the best player you can be. When you become a teenager, it is obvious that you have to take on more and more responsibilities the older you get. Some teenagers may have to get a job and they are responsible of being there on time every day they have to work. Other teenagers start driving and they have to be responsible and keep their car from being damaged or anything like that. And the biggest responsibility of most teenagers is to stay in school and to get good grades. I think parents should give their children responsibilities to show them what the real world is like. Taking on responsibilities make you into the kind of individual you are going to be in the future.

“It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.”
