What values of yours have remained the same?

It's funny how this is the reflection of the day because it's really been on my mind for the last few days.

I definitely think my parents instilled in me the values of committment and dedication.  And the reason I've been thinking about this is because people have been questioning why I'm so committed.  I play two volleyball leagues for the summer because I love it. I love the sport, I love playing with different teams and I love playing in different places. And now my friend actually asked me why I do it and when I told her that she asked me why wouldn't I just skip a night to hang out with my friends. I told her I only play 3 nights a week which leaves all the other nights for my friends but she didn't get it. She kept questioning and asking me to skip and not understanding until I finally just changed the topic.

It is not in my nature to just skip something I've committed to. I don't miss club meetings. I don't skip class. I feel that once you say you will be there, people depend on you and it's almost a crime to let them down. In my heart I feel when I let someone down and it is the worst feeling of all. I would rather stand with you in the rain than watch you from the warmth.
