Essay Instructions:
A 1500 word essay, APA format, will focus on a few (3-5) of your most important values. By indicating these values in the introduction, you will have a solid basis for presenting a well-organized paper about your favorite subject…YOU!
Getting started on this paper is often tricky, and you may approach this paper by asking yourself “Who am I according to my values?” Your values will ultimately determine your actions; by understanding values, you gain a sense of the type of person you are. For some of you, values may be things you aspire to have but do not see yourself as having completely achieved. It may help to ask, “What kind of person do I hope to be?” or “What kind of person do I want other people to see in me?”
Take this opportunity to look at how these values determine your actions and how you plan to go about living your life according to your values. If you've had a major life experience that has altered or influenced these values, you may want to include this (NOTE: assume that a fellow student may read this paper – do not divulge more than you are comfortable sharing).
While this paper is personal in nature, it is always encouraged that you find and reference other sources on the formation of values. Please cite any referenced source in APA format.

1.God and religion (ISLAM)
2. Family ( Father,mother,and my 5 sisters)

Values clarification
The ideas and beliefs I hold are so special and have been instilled in me for a long time. According to Besjes-de, et al, (2011) values are derived from one`s personal life experiences and as a result they end up affecting an individual either in a positive or negative way. Moreover, Christie (2005) argues that ethics is an important engagement in education since it helps one understand the complexities of life and relate to life`s experiences. In my early childhood years, I learned values in my school, at the mosque and at home when I was with my parents. These values have been with me ever since and they have shaped me to be the way I am. Therefore my values in life are as follows:
God
Allah is my creator, he sees everything I do and in the end he promises that he will reward my deeds. Therefore, I have nothing to boast about because I know that everything I have, my wealth, my status, my abilities are from Him. In addition, I always look forward to spend quality time with Allah. I believe that one way to get knowledge and insights is through consistent reading of the Quran and therefore putting it into practice. Allah is interested with our actions and deeds. The way I behave must be in consistence with the values of the Quran. Having the knowledge of Islam is not only for my own benefit but it will also benefit my entire family.
My faith is based on God`s holy books. These books include Prophet Muhammad`s sayings and practices, the rules of the Quran, Psalms and scriptures from the Bible. In addition, I have based my faith on the prophets of God. I believe that these prophets had an encounter with God and their faith demonstrated there deep love and trust towards him. Therefore, I have made it my conviction to follow in the footsteps of Muhammad, Noah, Jesus, Abraham and Moses. Moreover, I am a strong believer of the judgment day, that all of us will stand before God and give an account of our lives when we were still on earth. God will determine my destiny basing on how I lived my life according to the standards of the Quran. He will reward us according to our morals whether good or bad because he is a fair and just God.
Therefore, true success is not about wealth, status, recognition or riches, it is about us spending our emotions, time, money, effort on the things that will please Allah. The most important and lasting gift that I can pass on to my children is the knowledge of Islam through the practice of the Quran.
Family
My family consists of my father, my mother and my five sisters all of whom I look up to as my role models. I value my father since he has always demonstrated his role as the head of the family. He has been the bread winner and I have always looked up to him when I needed guidance, assurance, security and advice in life. Consequently, I value my mother since she has always demonstrated her role as the wife to my father. I have seen her wear respect in the way she approaches my father and the way she handles him. My mother has a gentle spirit within her and she has taught me how to love and respect God. I admired how she mentored my sisters and how she served us selflessly. My sisters are precious pearls and delicate diamonds to me. We have grown up together and have had our own sibling rivalry moments. In addition, I enjoy spending time with them since I realized that this helps them to avoid being influenc...
