"Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remeber Cedric Diggory." -J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Goodreads)
"They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. the one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience." -Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird (Goodreads)
I chose these two quotes because it tells me that I have to do the right things that are right to me and not anyone else.

This is Sonia Sotomayor. She is a great example of integrity. She was born in New York City and grew up in the Bronx. Her mother took care of Sonia and her brother. Sonia's mother would work long hours in order to care for her children. Growing up, she had opportunities to use drugs but she passed it all because she knew what she wanted her future to look like. She eventually became a judge in the supreme court.
Integrity is standing up for what you believe in.
It is treating everyone equally and fairly,
acting independent of others that do otherwise.
It is being open and honest,
responsible for all of your actions.
It is speaking out when others
are treated poorly.
It is refusing to participate
in actions detrimental to others.
It is admitting and apologizing
for your errors,when mistakes
are made.
It is respecting your environment,
your fellow humans, and your self.
Integrity is not a characteristic,
it is a way of life.
It is what you do,
and what you say, always.
It sets you apart from others,
it defines you as a person.
Treat others as you would want
to be treated.
Be upstanding, be forthright,
be conscious of your actions.
Remember to always
act with integrity. -Gary Dodd (Famous Poets and Poems)
