What is personal responsibility? This is a question asked many times by many people. To me personal responsibility is when one person is in charge of their life. They make their decisions and do what they want. Personal responsibility can be a job too choosing to get up and go to school in the morning. In the end when it comes down to it, personal responsibility is what someone does with their life.
When some thing bad happens and someone has to take responsibility.I know I have to bear the responsibility only if I had something to do with it. Also sometimes when it makes the situation easier to just take responsibility. For example if I was to be in a car with a friend and we were driving stupid. If I was to tell my friend or the driver to do something that may end in a crash, and he was to do it ending up crashing. Even though most of the time people would blame the driver because he did not have to listen to me, I would still take some blame for it.
Another example would be for the second thing I said "when it makes the situation easier". Lets say my mom finds something broken before we go camping one weekend. She says "we will not leave until someone tells me who broke this". Even if I KNOW I did not break it and my sister did. It is easier to say I did it then wait for my sister to finally admit it.

The Unknown
People have for as long as we have known to search for the unknown. For example Christopher Columbus searching for a faster way to India. Back then they did not even know if the world was round. Even today there are people searching the unknown just not on Earth; in space we keep on finding more and more things farther out with new technology. People will always look for the unknown and will never stop finding it because there is always something new.
I think people devote themselves to finding the unknown because they want to do something with there life that will be remembered. Some people find the unknown and are not remember as well as others. For example who discovered Antarctica? and who was the first man on the moon? I bet I can tell which most people know.
When people do devote there lives to discovering something that person ends up sacrificing a lot. They can end up not seeing there families for long amounts of time. They can end up dieing just trying to get where they want to go. They all give up something to meet there dream of finding what no one has found before. To some people there dream might sound crazy so they may also be left with out help. People give up many things, to many to list but all for a reason.
