"Its not so much the journey that's important; as is the way we treat those we encounter and those around us, along the way" is a quote from Jeremy Aldana. This means that no matter where one may go in life, it is important treat everyone we encounter with respect. Life may go in many directions, but it is necessary to treat everyone with respect. If we don't, it may hurt others feelings who we encounter. Treating others with respect is needed to make life the best of what it can be.

The video shows how cruel teenagers can be to each other over mobile devices and social media. A simple text message or social media post saying something negative about an individual is very hurtful. It can get out of hand easily, especially when its a group of people attacking an individual. All it takes is one person to step up and defend the individual being attacked for them to feel better. Respect is important to show to everyone so no one is harmed from this.

Someone who I respect greatly is my mother. I am the youngest of four siblings. For about thirty years now, my mom has been balancing raising us along with a full time job. Not matter how much she may work, she still managed to make dinner for our family every night when we were all home. I am the only child who lives at home now, so she is working a lot more than she use to. However, she still helps me with my homework, cooks dinner for me, and watches TV every night with me. My mom has been managing raising children for thirty years now, but never shows a sign of weakness.
