He didn’t understand anything I said about lying. The other day I picked him up from school and I asked him how was your day to which he replied, “I had a good day!” Later I read the daily report the teacher wrote into his notebook and I find out he had a bad day so I sit him down and look him in the eye and ask him why he lied. I see him smile, I see him laugh and cry and I see all of his joys and how much of a great boy he is. His father passed away when he was only 6 months old and since then the only father figures he has in his life are me and my dad. I have a five year old nephew that I treasure like nothing you can imagine. The biggest reason for us as future parents to recognize the importance of honesty is the consequences if we aren’t. She said, “The most compelling reason to be honest at all times is if someone else’s life is depended on your information.” (Pires) This is a very good point seeing as how we act will affect the lives of our young ones. I like what Chereen Pires said in the Discussion Board on Laulima.

Teaching our children how to be trustworthy does so many things for them, it keeps them accountable, it helps them advance in the work force, and also chivalry will live on.
As adults we want to teach our young ones that being trust worthy and being capable of being accountable is one trait that is priceless and hard to earn and even harder to earn back once lost. As a current coach and a future teacher or parent, I’d like to think that because of my honesty, I can be counted on to be a trust worthy person. This makes people want to count on you to help them. If we are honest, it brings out a quality that makes you want to succeed and work harder. There are several attributes that honesty develops and one of them is being trust worthy. I think that helps contribute to a lack of honesty or should I say lack of awareness of our dishonesty. As a coach or a teacher, I think sometimes we may overlook the power that we as teachers or educators have. Seeing my coach’s honesty really made me make sure that I was like that, someone that my players would look up to and want to be like. We bled, we sweat, we put everything we had into our practices and our playing and that’s what his character taught us and because of it we brought home a medal. As a result of his honesty we learned to work hard and not take any shortcuts which eventually made us better and we went on to win the Silver medal in the 17’s under division at the 2005 Junior Olympics in Louisville, Kentucky. There was no way he was going to stand there and watch our practices and lie to us and tell us we were doing great if we couldn’t get a ball over the net, absolutely no possible way. If we weren’t doing something correctly, he let us know and we fixed it. If I had a question they would answer straight forward, no lies and as a player I respected that.
I know everything there is to know about the sport and a lot of that is through learning from my coaches when I was growing up. I’m a volleyball guy, I played and now I coach. Honesty and integrity was one of the building blocks of our country and we as tomorrow’s leaders need to recognize that if we don’t make honesty one of our if not our top priority, then our youth will pay the consequences. They firmly believed that the Constitution was going to be the building blocks of our country. Our Constitution preamble says, “We the people, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Unite States of America.” I don’t believe our founding fathers wrote that based on junk that came to their mind. This is America, and Americans have always had to work hard for everything they have. As a young person growing in maturity, what am I supposed to think? I coach volleyball for intermediate and varsity boys and as a coach I need to think about what I’m saying and what kind of impact will what I say have. I’d be shocked if they did, I mean they are my parents, people I look up to. For as long as I can remember, I’ve never heard my parents tell me a lie. Honesty is the best policy that is what we’ve always been told right? What makes a person want to lie? You may gain what you want initially by lying but do you really benefit from lying? I don’t know about you but for me, if I ever caught my parents lying to me I’m not sure what the first thing in my head would be.
