It's True, Being Honest Can Be A Lead To Change

Honesty... this is something that not only every person struggles with whether it is with a secret, thoughts, or self-decisions that they have to make. This can be as serious as whether someone should eat that extra piece of bread, so if that person should lie to a loved one. They both fall under a different impact category, but they are all having to do with honesty and a specific impact of their own. Honesty can lead to losing a friend, or completely losing yourself; it is a quality that is very serious and is mistaken as something that does not matter. Honesty will open several doors for you. Everything will come for you when you start being honest with the world.

But this is where society is wrong, because unfortunately even when speaking with honesty you can say the right thing with the wrong spirit behind it. How you may ask; well you could say that someone should do something but it could end badly for them and benefit you. This would be a prime example of this.

This is why we as individuals need to stand up and spread more honesty with our actions this doesn't just go for mental, but physical actions as well. Meaning what we say, and putting our money where our mouth is. Honesty is the start of changing who you are and who you want to be. The worth behind this goes well beyond the current time. You will forever be known for your kindness, gratitude, and the honesty you shared with others during your time. Be honest with not only yourself but to every single person around you. This is why you always hear that "Honesty is the best policy." And this is why I motivate you all to be the start of the change and what change can be.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
