My Personal Values
Values are the moral principles that you use to make decisions. It is important to
recognize and understand what your values are in order to find out who you are as a
person.

Your values are affective by many people and your environment, such as your family,
friends, school, religion, culture, society and the media. Although your values are
influenced in many ways, you can shape them and the decisions you make in your life.

Below is a list of some values:

 Helping others
 Knowledge
 Responsibility

 Friendship
 Independence
