Ben Franklin Virtues Proj.

Monday- I actually didn't do such a terrible job with this today as I thought I initially would. All in all humility wise I'd give myself a B. There's room for improvement but I didn't make any significant blunders.

Tuesday- I bombed in the land of humility today... Between an online class and an email to a close friend... Well I flunked.

Wednesday- I actually believe I may have done well with this today. I didn't have to work and so I was home all day attempting to catch up on honors history stuff that I fell behind on when I was camping. I was fine with my parents and other than that the only real communication that I had with the world was through an email to a friend and the emails sole intention was to bring the recipient encouragement.

Thursday- Hmmm... Well I went behind my parents back and went to see a movie at midnight and spent the whole night driving around with some friends... I lied about my whereabouts to them and was pretty selfish all in all... Yeah I'd give today an F.

Friday- I spent all day with Emily and her mother. I flunked terribly at this assignment today... They actually had to start keeping track on paper all of the times that I failed. Whoops!

Saturday- Well my mother learned about my midnight excursion and I came clean and confessed. Honesty really is good for the soul and humility ;-) Other than that I worked an 8 hour shift and became part of the working community. It was rough.. But humility wise today I get an A :-)

Sunday- Well I skipped church to sleep in, didn't go to the cookout and singing because I decided to work, and then spent all evening arguing with my two atheist parents about religion. They were instigating but I should know better... F.

I liked your post overall, and I liked that you were completely honest about how you did with your virtue and you didn't try to pretend that you were perfect with it. Which probably counts as more humility! Go you. =)

Ashley I liked your posts they were interesting to read, but you forgot to write what the definition you chose for humility and why. You also forgot your analysis of your virtue at the end of the week. Other then that I liked your posting. I agree with Abby in the fact that you were very honest with your post and progress.
