    1. Loyalty
    2. Responsibility
    3. Fairness
    4. Generosity

    I had to think about these core values for a little while, but I ultimately narrowed it down to these four because they represent who I wish to be one day. I admire these qualities in others and believe that they signify good character, so I want to demonstrate them myself. I prioritize loyalty in my relationships with others and feel hurt when others betray my trust by acting disloyally, so I try to ensure that I remain loyal to others. I also find responsibility important because I know that it is imperative to a successful life. Fairness should also be practiced because it allows everyone to have a chance for success. While I know that life isn't always fair, I want to help combat certain injustices by creating an environment with more fairness and opportunity. Lastly, I want to be generous because I believe generosity can provide much-needed help to those who are more unfortunate than myself, and I feel satisfied knowing that my generosity made someone else happy.
