A virtue is defined as the quality of being morally good or righteous. There are thousands of different virtues and we all either have them or we do not. I know that I have a many of the virtues, but I also lack several. For example, I have trustworthiness, resposibility, and leadership, while I need to work more on trust, thankfulness and especially confidence.
People, people I know, people I do not know, anyone can trust me. I can always keep secrets and I am very trustworthy. Trustworthiness means people can always trust someone and can tell someone anything without worrying about if they are going to tell anyone. People come to me quite often to help with their issues and they know that their secret is safe with me. I am proud that I am trustworthy and I am glad that people can trust me.
I am also very responsible. I can do almost anything that is thrown at me and do it well, even without help. Responsibility means that someone can tell someone to do something and it gets done. On the speech team, our coach asks me to do something all the, mainly because she can rely on me to get it done. She has even named me the student director of our next performance. I also never miss anything. Anything that I am supposed to be at, school, rehearsals, practices, work, I am always there and always on time. I am always there for everything.
The top quality that I have is leadership. Mainly because I can lead a crowd. I lead my speech team to get what they need to get done, done. People do not realize that it is hard to lead people. There are always those people who think they are too cool to listen to me and there are those people who think they are the best of the best so they do not listen to me. Leadership is being able to get a crowd to come into one and come together and get the job done. I have many good virtues but also bad virtues.
Trust, who knew? I am probably the most trustworthy person I know, but I struggle with trusting people. I always think people are not telling me the truth. I always have problems believing what people say. I just really have big problems opening up to people and trusting them. Trust means being able to fully believe in the people around each other. I have big issues with trust no matter how hard I try.
Another big virtue that I struggle with is thankfulness. I know when I am thankful. I know what thankful is and I am so thankful for everything that I get and that I have. My big problem is showing my gratitude. I am so grateful for everything in my life and I try to tell people how thankful I am for them but I forget much of the time. I try really hard to show those that I love that I am grateful for everything in my life.
My biggest struggle in life is my confidence. I think so low of myself and that is not what confidence is. I have no confidence in myself most of the time and I struggle quite a bit with my confidence. I never feel good about myself and that is really bad. I struggle with my confidence and I have started to try to make myself start to feel better. Everyday I try to think about one thing that I like about myself. I am working on boosting my confidence.
Virtues are things that we all have. They are always good and if they are not good, we have to make them good. The ones that I excel at are trustworthiness, responsibility, and leadership. I struggle with trust, thankfulness and confidence. In the future I plan to work on these virtues more and try to think higher of myself.
