Assignment 2-"Accepting Personal responsibility"

Outside of class I read On Course by Skip Downing. It talked about taking responsibility for personal actions. In the first couple of pages we hear about a character named Kim who was late turning in her paper so she received an F. Who's fault was it? The teacher that it made clear that a late paper would receive an F? The husband who antagonized Kim? The friend who kept Kim out all night? Or was it Kim herself. There are other simliar stories and qoutes involved in the first chapter. When it comes down to it, it is all about not being the victim and learning to not blame everyone under the sun if something goes wrong. I myself have done this in the past when something in high school went wrong. I would be the first to blame the teacher. Now i realize that the person at fault was myself.
