Citizenship: Contributing Yourself

          Citizenship is known to be a part of the six pillars of character that corresponds to being a good neighbor. A person can be considered as a good citizen if he takes part in the development of their country and environment. It is a broad concept to explain. That is why I had a hard time finding the perfect photo that will suit the word.




            I noticed that citizenship is related to trustworthiness because they both have the description, ‘loyal to the country’. I also got confused with responsibility. They possess the key terms, ‘take care of the environment’. Therefore, citizenship is connected to all the remaining pillars of character. A good citizen should respect others, be responsible, be trustworthy, be fair, and be caring.
            The assignment made me reflect to how I contribute to the society. It made think, ‘what am I doing for my country?’ The photo I submitted was a picture of teachers cleaning the school. I can see myself volunteering for it in the future.

            At the end, I realized that to be a good citizen, one should do what they can. Citizenship is the chance to make a difference to the place where you belong. No matter how small the act is, as long as you care for your country, it will always be the same like huge contributions. An individual should be a good example that a country can be proud of. That is what it takes to be a good citizen.
