There's Just No Way

I'm sorry, but there is just no way I would interview this little girl about the murder of her mother. Maybe when she is a lot older, probably in her 20s, but even in a couple years, the memory would just be tragic.

There are a lot of things people remember about their lives. Your first kiss, the first time you ride a bike, your WEDDING. But Jaimie Cates will probably not remember these. Instead, the memory that will remain with her forever will be the night she watched her mother get slaughtered to death by a bunch of teenage boys with nothing better to do. She is emotionally and physically scarred, and must be at a very delicate point of her life right now.

As a young child, reporters and journalists are not what she needs. She needs comfort in the arms of loved ones- friends and family. As journalists and outsiders looking in, the best thing we can do for Cates and her family is to grant them peace in their time of mourning.

Credibility

So what exactly is credibility? Credibility is the believability of a source or message or person, etc. It is basically how trustworthy a person or thing is. You earn credibility through your actions and the way you live. You lose it when you break someone's trust and do something that goes against your expectations.

One time in particular that credibility pops into my mind, is when I asked my friend about certain matters. I really trusted this person and believed in what he told me and said. However, I later found out that what he said was not necessarily true, crushing his credibility with me.

Credibility is extremely important and it is something that will make or break someone. Why would you want to go through life being "that person" who cannot be trusted?
