Brenna Kiger
The sentence or phrases I like best are My first philosophy is to forgive

and forget.
Another philosophy I tell myself is to keep a positive attitude, or an
attitude that would bring me success in life.
One of the most important philosophies I live by is competition. Even

though teenagers care more than anything what others think of them
or have to compete with one another, the only competition is yourself.

Because these sentences state my philosophies, three very important things

to me.

The changes I made to this piece during revision are descriptive language
and word usage.

I made these changes because it told in more detail why I live by these
philosophies and what they mean to me.
