-
Last child of three. I don't really know how that has affected me.
-
Definitely Family.
-
My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. My Roman Catholic faith. And role models like Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa.
-
My parents were strict but loving. We were taught to respect all adults and those with authoirty over us. There were consequences (punishments) for wrong actions.
-
There are many good, hardworking and moral people in my generation, but there were also those who opened the way for liberalism that has resulted in too much permissiveness in our society today.
The younger generation is reaping the negative effects of this permissiveness and taking it to a greater degree because the moral compass they have been given is flawed. However it must be said that, like my generation, there are many good, hardworking and moral members of the younger generation in whom -
If it wasn't broken, then don't fix it. We made it to the moon without the aid of modern computers. We used brains, slide rules, ingenuity and hardwork. I don't see this emphasized in education today.
-
Our US Constitution is an amazing document and it has held us together in a society with many rights and freedoms. Unfortunately, our politicans do not cooperate and work together as well as they did in my generation and previous generations.
-
Dating is a natural way for boys and girls to get to know and respect each other. I believe premarital sex and living together before marriage is wrong. Hopefully marriages between man and woman will be permanent for the stability of the family and society. If families cannot stand together, neither can a nation hope to endure.
-
To be the best teacher I can be and influence my students in a positive way that will help them through life and to help as many people as I can.
-
As a happy, upbeat, dedicated, caring teacher and person.

-
I try to keep myself in good physical and spiritual condition (there is a connection) by prayer and exercise (especially running) and by trying to develop a genuine, humble, and caring personality.
-
Death is a natural and inevitable consequence of life, so we should have a good moral life with a strong faith in God, and a willingness to help others so that we will be ready for it and go on to our eternal reward in heaven.

Nedra - MTV Generation
-
3rd youngest of four. Baby, had two protective sisters. Got introuble with younger brother.
-
Family even more now. I would have said friends at one point.
-
My mom.
-
The need to be a good mother.
-
Authoritative.
-
Mine - big hair
Younger - disrespectful, not being raised by parents, daycare
Older - Traditional, repsectful, better -
School - too focused on standardized testing
College - People go there but can't find job -
Stinks. Too big. Next question.
-
Don't do it. Date for a long time, get married once your old enough. No earlier than 26... you don't know anything. Need to learn to be successful and responsible on your own before relying on another.
-
To raise kind, successful, polite young men.
-
As a team-player
-
Taller.
-
Nice hair I've been told... other than that kind and helpful. Takes job as nurse seriously/personally, devoted mother.
-
I look forward to it? It's part of life, hopefully it won't happen for a while, but when it does, hopefully I'll have made it to heaven.

Miss Leitch
-
Youngest of 3. I have gotten away with more and am somewhat babied. For example, my mom packed my lunch the first day of working at BEA...
-
Family. While I choose my friends and spend more time with them now, I have spent more time with family throughout my life in its entirety.
-
(...After being given 2 days to think about it) David - no. My students - nah. Let's go with mom. Up until now, she has done a great deal to make me what I am today.
-
Myself.
-
Authoritative
-
There is promise for our education systems, but I feel they are going through a bad time. I feel there are cycles and right know, those in charge are not the wisest. Also, standardized tests are focused on far too much. We should teach to instill knowledge, not teach to pass a test.
-
Mine - self-centered
Younger - even more self-centered, morally corrupt/absent/radical
Older - too traditional
So basically my generation is the perfect median. -
The government is wandering from the fundamental principles set down by our forefathers. Modernization is threatening/questioning Constitutional rights. The prison system is far too cushy. Nursing homes are more like prisons than prison.
-
People marry too quickly today and for the wrong reasons. It is becasue of this that marriages do not even last long. People don't respect marriage enough to work at it and give up too easily. Goes back to a generational culture of bad work ethics. Marriage is sacred union under God, it is becoming less valued/respected.
-
As a hard-working, driven and enerjetic person. Moods are somewhat extreme but I am rarely in a really bad mood. When I am not in the best mood, I tend to shut down so I don't get snappy with others. But most of the time I am my regular bubbly self... I'm also a bit of a cripple at the moment.
-
I'm comfortable with how others' see me. I'm not perfect but I am who I am and for the most part I think I am true to myself. What people see is what is really there. I think I have grown out of being different based on who I am with. Now I am who I am no matter where I am or who I am with.
-
Make a positive difference. In the classroom, in the community, in our nation, in the world as a whole.
-
Other than crippled... enerjetic, and active sum it up nicely.
-
Only thing certain in life is death. I feel we should do as much as possible with the time we are given. Make the most of what have and when the time comes, be at peace knowing you lived a fulfilling life.

Youngest of 2. Receive more blame, live beneath shadow.
-
Family. Without a doubt. I was born and raised by them.
-
8 lb 6 oz baby Jesus!
-
Myself.
-
Authoritative for the most part. As an infant, Authoritarian may have applied.
-
Mine - Lazy
Younger - Disrespectful
Older - Traditional, better preservation of morals -
College is too much like a business. Schools are focused too much on testing and not enough on actually educating the students. Common sense = harder to come by.
-
Government is like nature. It needs a forest fire every now and then.
-
High schoolers treat dating too seriously and need physical boundaries. Marriage is a sacred contract not to be broken. Meant to be eternal. Forever. Not until someone gives up.
-
Be happy and make others happy.
-
Funny and animated, but also as a hard-working, sociable, common-sensical person.
-
Wiser. Comes with age though....
-
"Phat" but also funny. (She is not uncomfortable with her weight but is aware she is overweight. I did what I could when she said "Phat")
-
I do not fear it, Heaven is there and I hope to live a life worthy of accpetance into those pearly gates. Death is inevitable.
