My personal ethics code is to be a good man and stand for something that will make my family’s life better. You have to stand for something in life so I choose to stand for honor and integrity. I want to be a man that my sons will have respected for. I was taught by my grandfather to be honest God fearing man. I was raised to do what is right all the time.
His example has taught me that nothing in life comes easy and that hard work is the key to your accomplishments. Moreover, my father has made me realize what it is to be loved and respected. It is because of him that I demand love and respect from any man that tries to take his place. As with any strong relationship, we have our differences, but I know that no matter what I am going through he will always be my shoulder to cry
Another good character trait was that he was extremely ambitious usually he would pick out tasks that carried a significant amount of weight sometimes even he could not complete them. He was also very obedient to his parents even if it meant that he might miss out on something or if he might get hurt.

One of his most Christian traits was that he was a very giving and generous.
Euripides once said that friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness. I definitely agree with this quote, it is shown in everyday situations. A true friend will always be there for you in times of trouble. This doesn't mean that they will always be there for you like you want them to, but a true friend will be there. Friends are always willing to accept you for who you are, and where you are in your life.
Also, my dad has always been there to help me make tough decisions and I love him a lot. My brother is the best brother anyone could ask for. We never fight and I always talk to him about my problems. We get along so well, I'd hate to lose him too. We have all been through so much that it has brought us much closer together.
My dad and I are very close. He is like a friend to me. Lots of people have role models and heroes. For me, my dad is both. Dad always takes the “high road.” He taught me the values of honesty, responsibility and loyalty.
They are my source of confidence and assistance when I undergo troubled times, if I ever have a question they always have the answers. I share a lot of things with my family such as secrets, happiness, problems, distress and anxiety. My family has taught me every good thing I know such as manners, morals, integrity, values, culture and much more. They make me feel important and loved. Though my family is strongly built we do have our problems such as disagreements, debates and arguments but, they are my family whether at times I love them or are upset with them; they are who raised me, whom I go home to everyday and who I am.
I am sure when Modesto has his wits about him he is cognizant of the pain he has cause me and his family. My son is a good person. He has been a good provider for me and his siblings, while not the best role model, a decent brother. His siblings love him and would love to have him in their lives. It is with daily prayer that we work toward getting him counseling and keeping Modesto on the right track away from criminal activity.
God is like a blanket over the world because he always sees us and he can see when we are doing something bad. And he protects me and my family. God is all mighty and no one can defeat him and couldn’t ever be able to defeat him. I know sometimes God isn’t always happy with me, but he still loves me even if I don’t do something good. I try to live up to Gods standards even though it is hard.
