Compare the feelings you have

irresponsible. Give examples.
Make your own graphic
organizer.
Possible Answer:
Responsibility gives me a feeling of happiness,
self-satisfaction, optimism and maturity. When I
fail to take responsibility, I will not be
trustworthy. This makes me feel bad about
myself and that I have let down my small
community. For example, when my mother asks
me to help my sister and I refuse, I feel bad. If
this act is repeated, I will lose her confidence.
When I help my sister, I feel happy inside
because I make others happy. Responsibility
makes me a useful and productive person in my
family and to be loved by my mother who will be
satisfied with me and so I am.
