Life Choices

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the author believes that the two most basic areas needed to develop his or her "best self" are religious faith and making ethical and moral choices instead of leaving everything in life to chance. The author points out that the concept of choice, as one of the elements needed in the quest to live his or her "best self" comes from philosophers, such as Socrates, and modern day leaders, such as President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The paper stresses that, to make a good life, a person must give back to society; therefore, volunteering is a vital part of the "best life".

From the Paper:

"Because we are gifted by higher powers with the ability to choose, we are provided with a vehicle by which we can make choices that help us live to be our best selves. One example of this in action in my own life is my decision to further my education. Being my best self includes becoming more educated so that I can use that education to help my community and society as a whole. I believe that through education we will be able to improve the path we are currently on and avoid many pitfalls in the future. Choosing education is one place where I am exercising my ability to make choices so that I can work to help others who may not be as fortunate as I am. "
