In a national spelling contest in America,an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her   36  voice the judges were not sure whether she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and   37  decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had   38  the word. But instead of lying,she told the truth that she had said the   39  letter—so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the   40 ,the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her   41 . Later,dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty,even when it   42  her the contest. But the fact is that she   43  the biggest contest that day: the contest of her   44  .
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is that we would do if we knew we would never get   45 . This young girl could easily have   46  and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you   47 , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own   48  and character more than the prize from a spelling   49 . Her respect for herself was more important than any    50  others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the   51  she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make today   52  what you are tomorrow. Our children will   53  our behavior much more than our advice. So if we want them to   54  to be honest,we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember,our kids are   55  what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.
