Being Honest

I Believe in Being Honest

I believe in being honest;

I believe in being true,

That honesty should start with me

In all I say, in all I do.

I’ll form good habits in my youth,

To keep my word, to tell the truth,

To speak up in defending right

And keep my name and honor bright.

I believe in being honest;

I believe in being true,

That honesty should start with me

In all I say, in all I do.

This song is pretty straight forward but its something that we can all do. It sounds so simple and easy but is probably one of the hardest things we learn how to do at a young age. Being honest can get us in trouble or make us not fit in with others. We need to teach our children these good habits when they are young and always make sure to encourage it. And as adults we need to set this example not only for our family's but for those all around us. We can all make an impact in others life's by just being honest and speaking up for the truth when times are tough. We encourage everyone to try to stand tall this week and to always be truthful to others and also to ourselves.

We love you all!
Love, Toby, Cate, and Eme
