Responsibility

Responsibilty: the social force that binds you to the courses of action demanded by that force.

As you grow older you are held responsible for more things.
At first it was to dress yourself, make your bed and eat your vegetables.
Now it is to be a role model and a perfect example for the entire school.
Of course responsibilites can be separated into different sections. Responsibilities as a student, role model, member of a family, friend and a member of the local community.

Some days I just wish my list of responsibilities was to make my bed. Some days I hate having responsibilities.
We can either be forced into them or volunteer; usually a mixture of both.

You volunteer to hold the responsibility of being a good driver because that also benefits yourself. You volunteer to get something out of it. 

Like the defintion above, some you are forced into and demanded to comply; such as vacuuming daily or cleaning your room when you'd rather be with your friends or even on facebook.
There are those rare incidents where people volunteer for more responsibilies because that is there nature and they do not mind.

I like to think that when I volunteer for responsibilities I am helping someone in an unselfish way.
For example the Red Shield Appeal at the end of May.
Though sometimes I am selfish.

Recently the entire year has been reproached for our 'lack of accepting the responsibility as leaders of the school.'
It confuses me as to how having every year 12er wearing their ties up to their chin, hair up, shirts tucked in and wearing the correct shirt will make the younger years do it too.

Having too many responsibilities at a time can have a negative effect. It only makes the individual rush to keep each, which may show poor results.

I'm responsible for my own wellfare, homework, getting ready in the morning alone, studying for the HSC, managing my time efficiently, being a role model, applying myself wisely in class and at home, and yes makin my bed and getting dressed. To name a few.

Sometimes I have to rush through things in order to complete them all. I then look back and realise I could have done better. 

Responsibilties; neverending.
