— The Sequence of Personal Responsibility – Ron Haskins (COMMENT: Who do you give credit to for your successes in life? Because the following promoted individual responsibility, I give them credit for the successes that I have had in life: a) my parents, b) my grandparents, c) my uncles and aunts, d) my teachers at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete, e) my teachers at Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest, and f) my teachers at Crete-Monee High School.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Personal responsibility is the willingness to both accept the importance of standards that society establishes for individual behavior and to make strenuous personal efforts to live by those standards. But personal responsibility also means that when individuals fail to meet expected standards, they do not look around for some factor outside themselves to blame. The demise of personal responsibility occurs when individuals blame their family, their peers, their economic circumstances, or their society for their own failure to meet standards. The three areas of personal decision-making in which the nation’s youth and young adults most need to learn and practice personal responsibility are education, sexual behavior and marriage, and work.)
