Abraham Lincoln Video Reflection

This video told a story about Abraham Lincoln and a man he was traveling with. At first the man offered Lincoln, but he refused. Later the man offered Lincoln tobacco and Lincoln told the man a story about when he was younger when his mom was really sick she told him to never have a drink and use tobacco and he promised her that he wouldn't and then tells the man that he can't break the promise he made with his mother, so he can't accept to smoke with the man. After he told that to the man, the man seemed very touched with the story and said that he would've liked to have that same promise with his mother. It showed integrity how even though his mom was dead, he kept his promise to his mother, even if maybe he had the temptation to try it he never did. This shows that you have to do what you say, keep your word, if you say you're going to do something then do it.
