Freedom

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. -Franklin D. Roosevelt

Freedom is very important for all; even children. Generations have change. These days kids would like to "hang out" with their friends often and our parents also need to accept these changes. Kids will definitely not like it having their parents asking them what they are doing, where they are going, who they are going out with, why they are going out with them. All this questions do make kids frustrated and agitated; but we all know, our parents are concern. Once having our freedom, we must stay in our limits also. Kids should not lie to their parents about their whereabouts, example, if you would like to go out with your friend and you are certain your parents would not permit you, you lie to them telling them you have remedial or an incomplete project which you must finish in school etc.

Integrity is holding true to one's value. Integrity is standing by your word; not backing out of commitment. Read the story below. It shows a wife's integrity even to her late husband.

There was once a man, who was going to die. He made his wife promise to him that she will not step in the way of their daughter's actions and to let her do whatever she wanted to do. The faithful wife stayed to her word and her daughter took advantage of the situation. Their daughter cleaned everything out with memories of her husband. The daughter on the other hand promised to give the mother the man's car, so that the mother will be able to trade the old car for a decent one. The daughter made a list of the things she would pick out two days after the man's death... at the top of her list was the man's car. The daughter even tried to get the mother evicted from the apartment so that the daughter could claim the deposit of the apartment. The wife loved the husband so much that she kept her word even after her husband's death.
