Some of the core values I could not live without are:
*Honesty
*Integrity
*Humility
*Creativity
*Respect
Having honesty as a core value means that, I value telling the truth and having the truth being told to me. And with honesty comes being a creditable, reliable, and fair person. In this and in all cases, "Honesty is the best policy". Having integrity as a core value means that I choose to have a "code of ethics, values, and morals" that I will follow. Having humility as a core value means that I choose not to lift myself up or make myself more than anyone else (being boastful, proud, loud, conceited, etc..), if it means to make someone else feel less than. Having creativity as a core value means that I will be able to look at things differently; using my imagination to solve, create, function, grow, and produce. Having respect as a core value means that I try not to interfere with others privacy, property, and space and expect the same. It means that I "treat others the way I want to be treated". Ultimately, I hope that these "core values" guide me in marriage, parenthood, professional, academic, personal, and my everyday life.
