"Virtues"

        In Benjamin Franklins "The Autobiography" he had picked over five virtues, but the five I have picked are Temptation, Silence, Cleanliness, Limit and Order. Temptation- One is always tempted to break rules, for example texting in class, and having a uniform violation. Silence- One should not talk unless spoken too. Cleanliness- When one makes a mess, one shall clean it right after. Limit- When one eats one has to know ones limit. Order- One must have a certain order in ones life to function accordingly.
      By making a chart and working on it for about two days I tested myself. I did not text in class, and wore the correct uniform, therefore I controlled my Temptation. Silence is very hard for me to accomplish, considering I get angry and verbally abusive. I kept cleanliness, but cleaning up any mess I made. I ate more then I should have, therefore I had no limit in food. My days were orderly because in those two days I woke up at the same time, went to school, then went home. I felt accomplished working on these virtues for two days, but I feel I could have accomplished more if I had tried harder.
