I recently came upon a poem that is worth sharing with anyone interested in responsibility or self-discipline. I share the poem with you, written by anonymous.
Responsibility Poem
I am responsible
for all that I do,
from turning in work
to making friends, too.
I choose if my room
will be messy or clean;
I also make the choice
to be kind or mean.
It is up to me
just how much I will learn;
the grades that I get
will be grades that I earn.
I make the choice
to be happy or sad,
to have a good day,
or have one that is bad.
So I will choose
what is best for me.
I am responsible;
I hold the key!
