Text Box: Dorm Living News Text Box: Outside The Boundries Text Box: Many of the limitations you perceive are not really limitations at all. They're merely boundaries that you've placed around yourself. Imagine for a moment what could be beyond those boundaries. Imagine what would happen if many of the things you see as limitations were no longer there to stop you. Yes, life can be very comfortable inside the self-erected walls of your boundaries. It can be so comfortable you forget that you can go beyond those boundaries. Think of something you consider to be a limitaText Box: tion, then ask yourself this question. How much of that limitation is really a boundary created for your own comfort and convenience? The boundaries that you create, you can choose to transcend, and when you do, you'll make a powerful discovery. You'll find a whole new world of positive and valuable possibilities outside those boundaries. Think about how you might be holding yourself back by the boundaries you've created. Then take a step outside them, and see how very far you can go. -Ralph Marston Text Box: Responsibility. How often have we heard that word? How often have we said that word ourselves? Responsibility does not stop at making sure you are on time for classes and have brushed your teeth twice a day. Responsibility is a far-reaching word, a challenge for everyone at every age to achieve. When we are responsible individuals we have made the decision to take pride in our choices and accept whatever their consequences may be. We have chosen to trust ourselves and be the best we can be, upholding Text Box: rules, morals, expectations, and personal goals. A responsible person understands that she has the ability to affect many people around her, and uses that power in a positive way. She stands up for what is right and supports others in their pursuit for what is best. At times it may seem like responsibility is not the easiest route. But remember, “if you will not take responsibility, who will?” Ask yourself that question when faced with a challenge, and answer it with a resounding, “me!”
