True Definition Of A Good Citizen

I believe that people think just because you follow laws and dictatorship of society you are being a good citizen. But in fact, there is way more than that to become a good citizen.

To be a good citizen first you have to be a good person. You got to have morals and principles, and go sometimes out of your way to help others. When joining all these aspects together you will find out that, that's the true meaning of a good citizen.

One important thing about being a good citizen is helping people. All around us, we can see there are always people in need for our help. As a good citizen it is your job to help those in need from the kindness of your heart. Talking about people and putting others down is not being a good citizen. Also you don't make the person feel bad about needing your help because that's not the definition of truly helping someone. And when I'm talking about these people that need help I'm not talking about poor people. Poor people may be a fraction of it, however pregnant people, people with disabilities, and just people who need someone to lean on. Little actions makes big differences in people lives.

I'm not saying try and go out and save the world or go deal with everybody else drama. That's impossible and is a huge stress on yourself. Before you can help others you have to make sure that you are taking care of yourself first. How can you help someone and give them advice when your not fully stabled yourself? So just remember part of being a good citizen is also making sure that your happy to.
