My code to live by: NO cheating, do your best, and do something that makes you happy.
Well for "NO cheating" my parents taught me that if you cheat you're only cheating yourself because you won't know what you don't know and you can't learn from that by cheating and you can't let yourself learn it and to actually know how to do it, or what the words mean. And it's not like I never cheated, it took me a while to realize that they were right, and that cheating is just not going to get to where you want to be in the future. By high school I didn't have or made any cheat sheets for test or quizzes, and for my language class I make flash cards for the vocab words and if there were any other words that I didn't know from the beginning or I keep forgetting how to right it then I would also make flash cards for those. And for Medical Terminology (and medical words are like a whole new language), they told us to make flash cards, and I did but not for every quiz because I just got tired of ripping index cards into halves, and writing them out, until I realized that flash cards actually help me study, so I decided to continue after quiz seven.
For "do your best" I know it's a cliche but also my parents taught me that and a lot of people say it to friends, family for good luck. And to do your best is to give all you have into something to show your potential of doing an excellent job rather than something to pass like "Oh, cool I got a 'C' I passed, that' s good enough" when the teacher might know that the student has more to offer to the class and is not offering his/her full potential. So I think if everyone did do their best at any school wow, a big difference, and it will become very competitive because everyone's doing their best to be the top notch, but I also think that school would be more fun because people will say what they think and will be skeptical about the things that teachers say, and I know most teachers like how their students ask questions that challenge them.
And last but not least, "do something that makes you happy" yes it is another cliche but doing something that makes you happy helps you live longer, and fulfill a life full of happiness and joy, and I know God would want us to be happy, and to live for Him on Earth and to tell people about what He did for us, and doing something that you love, like a career you are more likely to be stable on your job title because you will do your best in what you love to do and the employer will see that and might promote you pretty soon. And I think I got this from, hm... I don't remember but probably from my teacher in middle school or something. Not sure.
Well that's my code. I can't wait to read what you guys have in mind. ^-^

That was a very interesting code. This demonstrates a very mature attitude. One of the key tasks of youth is understanding our identity: what's important, what I'm willing to stand for, what I won't put up with, dreams, goals, where I find meaning, purpose, joy, strength. Your post tells me, you are well on your way in figuring out your identity. congratulations. Just remember it's an ongoing task, one that is never finished as God is always at work in our lives.
