What Makes Somebody A Good Person

Lucia Hernandez, Contributor

I think what makes somebody a good person is how they treat others, the choices they make, and the reasons they do what they do. Somebody could do something bad, but they could have had a good reason for it, or somebody could do a good thing for a bad reason. It all really just depends on the causes of the choices they make. Just because somebody is popular, or they held the door for you, doesn’t completely make them a good person. But then again, everyone has done something good and bad. I think we all have the chance to be a good person, and we all have the chance to be a bad person. Like Sirius Black once said, “We’ve all got light and dark in us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”
