Meghan Wetterhall Post 1

It is an amazing attribute to always keep a promise no matter what. Christopher has that skill--when Christopher says he will do something, he does it. For example, one day while Christopher is at the store at the end of his street, he meets his neighbor, Mrs. Alexander. Mrs. Alexander tells Christopher something about his mother, something Christopher’s father has deliberately kept from him. Mrs. Alexander, in an effort to keep Christopher out of trouble, makes him promise not to tell his father. This quality would be a great skill to possess if one aspired to be a politician. How many times has a presidential candidate promised to lower taxes or to decrease unemployment in this country? If we had individuals like Christopher, who were completely honest and always followed through with their commitments, we would be in a much better position as a nation.
