‍Truth, fair, goodwill, better friendship, and beneficial are a few questions I might ask myself when it comes to picking after school activities or free time activities. These questions are questions that the people it the Rotary program ask themselves everyday. Here's how I would use them with and everyday decision of picking the group of friends I wont to hangout with or after school sports I would play.

The test can help when it comes to what group of friends I chose to hangout with after school. I do not want to hangout with the wrong crowd. Is it the truth? Do I truly want to hangout with people that will try and make me do things I do not want to do or do illegal things that could get me in a lot of trouble? No of course not, there is already one no. Is it fair? No, it’s not fair to my body doing drugs and alcohol. Its also not fair to the people around me. Will it better my friendship yes, but only with those people. I will lose all my other friends because they do not want to be around people like that. It’s definitely not beneficial it’s not beneficial for my body. Drugs and alcohol can really hurt my body. Doing illegal things can put me in jail. Who is that beneficial for? That’s four out of four no’s definitely not a good thing to be doing.

Now, what about playing my favorite after school sport? I’m not playing the sport because all my friends are doing it. I’m playing because I love the sport. Is it the truth? Yes, something I truly like to do. It is fair as long as I play fair and do not try to cheat. If I am playing it for me then it is fair to me. I will have better friendships because I will meet new people and get to play that sport with them all the time. Also we will have something to talk about when it comes to hanging out. It will build goodwill because if I try hard and try to do my best then I know I am doing the best I can. It will make me feel good about myself because I know I am trying. This is also very beneficial for me because if I am good then I can have the chance of getting a scholarship. I am also getting exercise and that’s good for my body.

So which activity would most people choose? I would definitely choose the activity that got more yes's because obviously its the better choice. I think that this test could really help people when it comes to making better decisions in life. This would only work if I answer the questions honestly and not in a way to make my idea sound good. When I answer the test the right way it works out every time and I wont end up doing the wrong thing. ‍
