I was taught to recognize the suffering of others and then take action to help. Compassion was very important in my family because my parents wanted me to be kind. We saw first hand, the way my brother struggled with his own mental health, so showing compassion for others became like second nature to me.
The first person that taught me about compassion was my Father. He knew It was important to have compassion in a family of 7 where I had 4 siblings that were much older than I was. I didnt always understand the way they felt because they were so much more mature than I was but I still did everything in my power to make them feel a little better when they were in pain because that was what my dad taught me.
Me and my Dad
Love is essential to being a good person. Love is the emotions and behaviors involving care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. Love inspires collaboration in society. Love is the foundation of spirituality.
My mother was the first person to ever teach me about love. She told me everything I wanted to know about it, and provided me with an answer to all my questions. Not only did she tell me about love she showed me unconditional love everyday, and she continues to do so now.

Family is huge for me. We live together as a unit. Family has always been very important to me and it holds the most value in my life. These are the people that will always have my back and I can rely on them for anything I may need. I really value their opinions and I truly take their advice and thoughts to heart.
I never had one specific teacher when I was learning about the importance of family. My entire family taught me what is to be part of a home that was fully loving and accepting. We are very family oriented and spending time together was crucial. We had a very hands on approach when it came to family and I spent countless hours at my aunt's house just having fun and bonding with my cousins. These bonds are so important because family helps us get through the most disastrous times and allows us to enjoy the best of times as well. They're a shoulder to cry on and a dependable support team when you need them.
Kindness is a majorly important lesson. Teaching children kindness encourages people to repeat good deeds they have experienced themselves helping the world grow to be a better place and contributing to creating a more positive community. Not only can kindness boost others confindence and happiness it can boost your own happiness levels as well.
The first person to teach me about the importance of kindess was my oldest sister Tara. she knew that kindness was vital lesson for me to learn so that I would grow up caring for others. She wanted her good deeds to be reflected in me, so I could pass them on as well, one kind Gesture after the other. Tara wanted me to be a good person and she instiled those values within me from a very young age, she still wants what's best for me and I value her thoughts very much.
Acceptance is huge in my family, if we arent accepting of each other how can we expect to ever thrive and be one unit if we cant accept eachother for who we are. Being open to everyones feelings, beliefs, emotions and identity.
The person who taught me about acceptance was my brother Patrick. He basically made it his mission to help me be more open minded and accepting of others. Patrick puts acceptance very high on his list of life lessons. He made sure I thought very carefully before I spoke to or about others.
Peer pressure and being influenced by other opinions causes you to not be authentic to your true self. Peer pressure is the influence from members of one's peer group. Peer pressure can be shown in many different ways and and greatly change ones life.
The person who taught me not to be influenced by peer pressure was my sister Mairead. She had already been through highschool and had far more experience with peer pressure than I did. She never wanted me to change who I was to fit into a group. She was adament about teaching me how to avoid peer pressure and made sure if I said yes to something bad or something I didnt particularly want to do, I would feel her wrath.
Friendship is when people create bonds, hopefully life long, with people in order to find a connection. We get to be kids together, and if we're lucky, we get to be adults together too. Friendship is so important for various reasons, such as preventing loneliness or isolation, coping with challenges, enriching life experiences and sharing values or interests. Friends help us feel better, cared for, and connected.
The people that have taught me more about friendship than anyone else are my closest friends, Hannah, Zoe, Yvonne, Allison, Ella, Daniella L and Daniella F. They taught me what it feels like to have such fufilling friendships surrounded by people who uplift you and care about you're feelings and opinions. If I hadn't meet all my friends when I did I wouldnt have enjoyed my free time as much as I do with them. They taught me not to settle for less than I deserve and that friendships are so important in life.
Compassion is as vital to life as the air we breathe. I use compassion every day, or atleast I try to. using compassion day to day includes speaking with kindness, apologize when you've made a mistake, listen carefully and without judgment, encourage other people and offer to help someone with a task. I try to make sure evrybody is feeling included and involved as often as I can. Compassion may be painful to feel because it requires lots of empathy for others, but it's also necessary because it causes positive actions.
Peer pressure is the way people of the same social group can influence one another. People's opinions can be swayed so easily, especially at a young age. There may be negative effects to peer pressure but You can over come these temptations. I avoid peer pressure by not caring how others opinions on me will change if I choose not to do something simply to impress my peers. Whenever I'm tempted to fall into peer pressure I just think of my sister never letting me live it down and saying I'm too easily influenced, I want to make her proud so it helps me over come the pressure.
