My Personal Responsibility

To define personal responsibility a person will have to break the word apart. Webster defines personal as relating to an individual or an individual's character, conduct, motives, or private affairs often in an offensive manner and responsibility as moral, legal, or mental accountability. I define personal responsibility as when a person knows he or she is in the wrong and admits it. People have to define personal responsibility on their own and must always up hold their beliefs and stand their ground.

            Where I use personal responsibility the most is during football, most of my teammates blame the offence of linemen because they do not believe they are in the wrong. In football I make mistakes like everyone else because I am not perfect. When I make a mistake I believe it best for me to say I was the one who messed up so my coach can help me fix what I did wrong. The most common play I get blamed for is missing a block or letting a person go. The minute a play gets stop in the back field everybody looks at the line.

            The blaming begins after the play in the huddle the running back targets me saying it is my fault but if he would have looked he would have seen that the defenses end was ten feet away from me. I believe that if a running back looks and think about what they should do the play will not get stop in the backfield. If a play gets stopped and the person was on my side of the line I take blame unless the defense was blitzing then I would try my best to slow the defense down.  I will take blame when it is my fault directly no other time.
