This is for phillips andover, it a boarding high school, lol
A. Discuss a matter you once thought you knew “for sure”—but of which you are no longer certain.
When I was little, I believed in Santa Clause, shooting stars, and the other typical myths that we were told. But the biggest lie that I believed, was that you were either naughty or nice. The things we do are never good or bad, the actions we make need to be concluded differently for each person. When we think about others actions, we also have to understand their personal and societal values. I used to think everyone was judged based on being kind, not lying, and being rich and famous when we grew up. How we judge others change constantly. In view of the fact that no one can have the same values, is because our definitions of success and correctness vary from person to person. Slowly I began to realize that our motions need to be thought upon our morals.
Morality is never black and white. There are always restrictions, compromises, and exceptions. A person’s moral can be decided based off of past personal experiences, religious or ethnic views. Succeeding in life is different for everyone because it is weighed based on the persons interests and desires. For many people money can be a way to measure their achievements. But for others they look towards the knowledge, lessons, and how they have grown. Their definitions hold a deeper meaning for success, it can’t be expressed in numbers or be tangible.
Because of all of this, when we judge people we need to first base them off of their own personal morals and the ones of their community. Because of this I now know that, no one is an angel, and no one is a devil.

The things we do are never definitively good or bad. The actions we do (or you can say “decisions we make”) need to be (or you can say “should be concluded”) concluded differently for every individual. When we think about others’ actions, we also have to understand their personal and societal values. I used to think everyone was judged based on their kindness, honesty, and social status (took out “when we grew up” bc it’s redundant). The way we judge others changes constantly. In light of the fact that no one can have the same values (NOT TRUE, you really need to fix the wording of this sentence, I get what you’re trying to say though), is because our definitions of success and correctness vary from person to person. Slowly, I began to realize that our actions need to be thought upon our morals (don’t get what you’re trying to say here)

Did my best! Other people can further edit this if they’d like to tbh
