REVISED-FINAL

Eyes snapping open, waking up to the startle of the continuous, obnoxious ringing. The sudden realization that it is already time to get ready for another day settles in... Ugh, laying in bed for about three five minuter intervals between slapping the snooze button. The only thing that allows the body to crawl out of bed is the constant thought, "I have to... it's my responsibility to get up and get to where I'm going."

Responsibility is a word that can be easily construed, but the different levels of responsibility are what give the meaning depth. Deciding whether to attend to these duties is upon oneself. Responsibility shows the amount of will power an individual has to keep moving forward and finish their goal with tenacity and strength. Without responsibility it is impossible to accomplish even the littlest things in life. The determination is there no matter how little the task and when the task is complete, the same brilliance comes out with this happiness and pride.

There is also the responsibility that somebody else assigns to a person. The only thing that can truly drive a person to complete a task is their selves, and their limits. The fact that the responsibility is not their own diminishes it's purpose. It is not desirable to accomplish because the goal has no connection to their life, and most likely wont have any pride or brilliance exhibited after it is completed.

Having a civic duty is another level of responsibility. When multiple people are relying on a person to complete a duty is puts pressure on them and stresses them out if the responsibility is to big for one person to handle. Like the president of the United States, they have constantly been relied on throughout the years to make our country's decisions, some good and some bad, but no matter the decision it will always be the president's choice that determined that outcome. These people who carry the world on their backs also need to ponder if they have enough self sufficiency before they accept all of the weight.

Knowing what responsibility is, is one thing, but carrying out with one is another.The strength to complete a responsibility by themselves determines character, but it is self discipline that describes responsibility. Without self discipline, there would be no eyes snapping open when an alarm goes off.

roughhhh draft

Responsibility n 1:getting the job done 2: something that teaches a lesson to make a person applicable to excel in a desired lifestyle 3: a task, event, or appointment that has a personal conviction to complete or attend.Given this information, a responsibility is something that is needed to live a successful life.

In order to get anywhere in life you need to get the job done. meaning if in school there is a worksheet that is required to be turned in by a certain date there is an expectation from the teacher that the worksheet is completely finished to receive the credit available. Getting the job done is simply doing all of the work on the worksheet correctly, now if the worksheet is turned in with nothing finished or half-way filled out then all or half of the credit that was intended to help the students grade is thrown out of the window because they did not get the job done and meet the teachers expectations.Meaning that the failure to get the job done only hurts the student in their final attempt to succeed in the class.

Continuing with the same student, lets say after six weeks of failing to turn their work in on time, forgetting their homework at home, and skipping classes their report card comes in the mail to exhibit what all of their hard work has resulted in, and they are not pleased at all. There was a sudden change in heart after seeing their precious GPA drop to a 1.9. All of the ignorance of their responsibilities in school was what resulted in their dreaded 1.9 and they are now determined to make their grades rise with the completion of their daily work and assignments. They now know that to keep a certain GPA they must attend to the responsibilities at hand.

Now as an adult, the student has learned that to excel in life they must attend to their responsibilities, and with being an adult comes with many responsibilities. Their job, attending to their children or spouses needs, making sure their families are well, paying bills, caring for themselves, and the list goes on. There's no way that a family, or single person could survive without somebody attending to all of their responsibilities in life, and if they did, it would not be a very productive or meaningful life to live.

People who are successful in life attend to their responsibilities,and still, people who aren't successful still have responsibilities. But whether attending to the responsibilities at hand determines the life to be lived.
