Responsibility
Responsibility
Part 1, Theory (200 credits)
Responsibility is “taking ownership of my thoughts, words, and actions.” This trait is
essential for becoming a healthy, happy, and productive person…and it is the basis for a
free and civil society where each person does what he or she is expected to do.
Responsibility begins with “little things” like taking care of your belongings, working with a
good attitude, resolving conflicts peacefully, and owning up to mistakes. Taking
responsibility in these “little things” prepares students for greater opportunities in the
future!
I Will:
1. Know what’s expected.
2. Keep my commitments.
3. Do my best.
4. Not make excuses.
5. Correct my mistakes.
Discussion Starters:
It’s easy to take responsibility or ownership when things go well. Why is it hard to
take responsibility when things don’t go well?
What is the opposite of responsibility? (unreliability, blaming others, making
excuses)
Who do you trust more—someone who owns up to mistakes or someone who covers
them up? Why?
How do you think responsibility can help you in school? At home?
