Personal Responsibility


      Even though many people are just naturally unable to take responsibility. I find that personal responsibility is reaching for excellence because personal responsibility achieves goals and personal responsibility continues your success. And the purpose of this paper is to discuss the reward of college success through personal responsibility

What personal responsibility means to me


Personal responsibility was not always my top priority. When I started college long ago, I did not take it seriously. I would hang with my friends in the popular lounge called the union and I would wake up and get dressed only for the parties and the boys. At that time I was smoking marijuana and drinking occasionally. I had to drop out of college because I developed a case of depression, it consumed me and I no longer was a student at the university. Hersh and Schneider states (2005), “campuses face the problems of cheating, alcohol, and other drug abuse, violence, and a sharp risk in diagnosed depression and in self destructive behaviors such as anorexia, bulimia and suicide attempts.” Although I may had to start again, I learned that personal responsibility deals with strive for excellence. It deals with wanting your best. For example, before I left college I was a studious student. I sought out tutoring, I stayed late in the math lab, and I spent hours at the library. Also it deals with certain aspects of study and time management. Hersh and Schneider states (2005), “Nonetheless, the evidence is abundant that students typically spend only a small fraction of their time on actual study.” Therefore to avoid not studying I would use time management. For example, if I had one minute to spare, I would do something. Significantly every little thing gets me closer to closing my task.
