Proverbs 11:9 says, " “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” This means we can't judge others when we ourselves aren't perfect either. We have no room to point fingers at others. When we treat others with respect they deserve, the outcome will be justified. We need to spend more time doing the right thing instead of focusing on what others are doing wrong. This stuck out to me because it is easy in high school to judge everyone else constantly without even realizing you are doing it.
One action I am going to take is every time I hear people gossiping to just walk away. This is hard because as humans we are very curious. It will be a good push for me though, and I think people will have more respect in the end. Another thing I am going to try to do is try to be more understanding of others. It is hard not to judge, but maybe something deeper is hidden in someone's life. If I try to understand others stories, I think I will get more respect overall all. I think I'll be a better person and friend.

Proverbs 10
Proverbs 10:15 says, "The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty." A rich man will have cushion when it comes to money.The same thing goes for people's personality. People that develop healthy morals have a strong base of good character. People that make bad choices time after time will end up like the person in poverty. If you make wise choices, you will develop a good foundation for your character.
It stuck out to me because I think sometimes it's hard to do what is morally right instead of taking the easier way out. If we keep taking the easy way out, we won't truly be happy. We will also develop bad character.
I am going to try to make better choices. It's hard to stand up to my peers if they do something wrong. I will try to stop them from making bad choices if I can. This isn't easy, but it is the right thing to do. I will also try to take time and reflect on my on decisions. Reflecting and analyzing my choices will help me build better morals. This will lead to better decisions overall.
