1) I have never liked or believe in missing class unless it was because of a illness, an appointment or something important. I have experience many opportunities where my friends tried to get me to skip so we can go do something, but usually its easy for me to turn them down. There is one specific time that really had me thinking to skip, my personal integrity had been tested. My senior year in high school my role model Lauren Conrad was doing a book signing at the Clackamas Town Center but she was going to be doing the sighing during school hours. My friend is also a huge fan and really wanted me to go with her. I was about to go, but then I realized that there will be a next time and it was more important to go to school and get my work done.
2) The commitment that I have committed to myself was in high school that I would never fall under peer pressure. Sometimes it could get hard when I had more than one friend trying to talk me into to something and sometimes I wanted to please them. If someone was trying to peer pressure me I just remembered that I promise myself that I would do what I wanted to do, so my commitment to myself was stronger than the peer pressure I received from friends or classmates. I was able to keep the commitment because I'm a strong stubborn person that does what she wants, so if someone tried to pressure me it usually ended the friendship because if they where a good friend they would have known that no one could pressure me doing something.
