        Sitting on top of her favorite tree since she was six years old, Jennifer swings her legs, trying to do something to release her anger. Today, her friend left her for another friend and she’s afraid she won’t be coming back. Of course, she’d do anything to get her back because they’ve been best friends for as long as she can remember. She convinces herself to be positive, this phase with her friend will pass and then they’ll be back to normal, so she hops down from the limb of the tree and walks back inside.

        At school the next day she goes about like normal, she takes her normal seat in her classes, right next to Bailey, the friend that left her previously. She even went to the same table at lunch, but sadly Bailey wasn’t there. She was at a different table with the other friend she went with previously. Jennifer sits down by herself at the table she used to sit with Bailey, looking back at Bailey every now and then. At home she does her homework and gets right back on her favorite tree swinging her legs. She fumes for a while and when she calms down she clears her thoughts and fills them with positive ones. Bailey will come back.

Except the next day, Bailey paid no attention to her. And again, Jennifer fumed and kept swinging her legs on the limb of her favorite tree, releases her anger. Days go by and Jennifer still comes home angry and upset and sits herself up on that tree of hers, until one day the tree limb snaps from beneath her from all of the stress it has gone through the past several days, it couldn’t take it any longer and left the rest of the tree. Jennifer falls to the ground, brushes herself off after recovering from the shock of the sudden break. 

       She goes to school the next day and talks to Bailey, she explains how she feels, hoping she doesn’t fall down again.

             Commitment. A ten letter word that means a lot, that carries a lot of weight with it. It’s something that people count on, and it’s something that causes a lot of harm to others if not followed through with. I feel that commitment is something learned, something you gain as you mature and have more experience behind you. You learn it when you finally see how committed other people are to you, to other people and to organizations they are involved in. By being committed to something you are making a promise to do that one thing or to be there for someone no matter what. But by backing out of a commitment you are showing that person or group of people that you didn’t fully mean that promise and you don’t care about it anymore, therefore causing harm to those involved. You shouldn’t make such a commitment if you can’t keep it. Yes, saying that you are committed makes you appear responsible, trusting and a good person but saying you are and being it are two different things. Don’t tell people what you are going to be if you are unsure of the amount of engagement you are willing to put in. Commit to being committed.
