Virtues

Benjamin Franklin had decided to follow thirteen main virtues for him to be able to reach perfection, but both for him and me, it turned out successful and unsuccessful at the same time. I picked Resolution, Sincerity, and Tranquility for my experiment. 
The first virtue, Resolution was very helpful because I always do things part-way and never finish anything. This made me do my homework fully, without skipping any math problems that I had beforehand decided that I was unable to solve. My mom liked this particular virtue also because it involved me doing my entire family's laundry instead of doing just mine. It completely killed my Saturday, but I ended up finishing all of my laundry, when most of the time I end up leaving the blacks or whites in a pile on the floor.
Sincerity is something I truly respect and expect from people. Most of the time, I try to be honest and I wanted to see just how sincere I really was. This virtue was hard because I ended up telling my mom that her dress actually did make her look fat, but I realized that it was better that I told her than to have her come out terrible in pictures. That is what I would have wanted my mom to do if the situation ever arose.
The hardest virtue to follow was Tranquility. Hotheadedness and aggressiveness is in my genes, not making me a tranquil person. When my sister was getting mad at me for something that I still do not believe was my fault made me very mad and resulted in us having a fight. After the fight I decided that I should probably apologize, but since I am also too proud to come outright and say sorry, I folded all of her laundry and vacuumed her room. She might not acknowledge my apology, but I know that I did my part.
