In Wananga, we are learning about being committed. I read an article about Hayden Wilde who won a bronze medal in Tokyo. He showed the value of commitment by being dedicated to completing the course. I also read an article about a woman who caused a crash. Sadly, the crash killed an Irish tourist. She was disqualified from driving for 15 months and fined $7500 for preparation. She was also sentenced to 120 hours of community service. She showed commitment by doing 120 hours of community service.
For me, commitment means being dedicated to something. This doesn't only apply to completing a course, it also applies to relationships, work, promises etc. Commitment is also one of our school values followed by achievement, resilience, and respect.
I really like the point you have made about commitment being needed for difficult things, like a punishments. That shows how you can "fix" things when mistakes happen.
