Winning

Winning does not always mean just being the best. Defeating the opponent is not always most important, because a person can never truly be a winner unless he or she acts as a winner should. Winners should be kind and caring for others, and should always be concerned about his or her attitude while competing. Bad attitudes are never attractive, and as a person of whom others will admire and look up to, winners should set good examples. Winning can do much more than just please. It can inspire, encourage, boost confidences, and teach lessons. Winning also is not always about coming out on top in a game or sport. It could be about intelligence, wit, courage, perspective and attitude, behavior and performance, a person's walk through life, or love.

I am most proud of winning the respect and trust of my mother. By having this, I know I have been not only a good child, but a good person to everyone. Respect and trust from a parent to a child must be earned and then kept, and for me personally, it is often hard to keep. I know when I mess up, I am risking the respect and trust, but I try to always work out my mistakes and keep the trust.
