40 Developmental Assets Asset #30 Positive Values - Responsibility Young person accepts and takes personal responsibility. After our recent storm, a youth took time to remove tree branches from the street without being asked and when he was thanked he said, "The branches were in my way when I rode my bike so I wanted them gone." Good for him and good for the neighborhood.
