To the editor,

I would like to talk about values. Values serve as a guide for human behavior and here are some examples of Values.

Honesty, the quality of being honest.

Integrity, the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.

Kindness, the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.

Generosity, the quality of being kind and generous.

Courage, the ability to do something that frightens one.

Confidence, the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.

Let us put this all together and apply it to everyday living, schools, work, and home. Values serve as a guide for human behavior. Values also help us to decide what is right or wrong, good or bad. Values are at the core of all of us. So please with everything happening in our little town let's apply values to all and everyone

Remember a person’s most beautiful asset is not a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to help others.
