We are not able to separate our professional and personal lives since our personalities and characteristic traits should be consistent within both areas. Who we are in our personal lives should be the same person we are in our professional and vice versa. Having consistency is important because that means you are being your true self in all aspects of your life. If we are one way outside of the office and not the same in it, people will be confused on who we truly are.
I know that it is important for me to support BYU's honor code inside and outside of the office. Last semester I had some roommates that wanted me to break the honor code and I told them I would not participate. It was extremely hard because these girls were my "best friends". By me not participating they saw me as judging them and did not want to be as close of friends anymore. I saw us drifting apart but I continued to be kind to them and did not judge them at any point. I know that my life will be blessed for obeying the honor code.
