Assignment 19: Claire Telfer

The first thing that comes to mind is to always do your best. The simplest advice in life usually applies to most situations. My biggest pet peeve is when people don't try. If you don't try on homework, I don't care because homework doesn't matter that much, but if you don't try on the things that matter, then why even do it? Especially with sports, if someone gets a bad time or does a bad job they say "Oh, that's okay, I didn't really try." Why would you waste your time practicing something for hundreds of hours if you don't try when it matters? If I'm going to spend my time on a hobby or a sport or an instrument, I'll do it 100%.  I want to show other people that I have a good work ethic and I'm committed to doing what I set my mind to. The advice to always do your best has pushed me to persevere in my daily life and that sometimes it's ok to not be the best at something as long as I'm trying. If I can put forth the time to make a difference in life by doing my best, then I'll do anything I can to make it happen.
