REFLECTION:

1. The questions I struggled with the most were...

What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

Which living person do you most despise?

What or who is the greatest love of your life?

Which historical figure do you most identify with?

What is your motto?


2. The answers I will probably change in five years are...

What is your greatest extravagance? - This answer will probably change in five years because I will stop playing soccer after high school and begin college. My education or something else may become my greatest extravagance.


Which words or phrases do you most overuse? - This answer will probably change in five years because the way you speak changes as you get older. Also, the social trends and environment I am in will affect which words and phrases I most overuse.


What is your motto? - This answer will probably change in five years because in that time, I will learn more and my perspective may change. As I grow intellectually, the motto by which I live by may become optimistic.


3. The answers that surprised me the most were...

When and where were you happiest?

Who are your favorite writers?

Which historical figure do you most identify with?


4. The questions I had an instinctual reaction to and could easily answer were...

Which living person do you most admire?

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

What is your favorite occupation?

Who are your heroes in real life?

What is your greatest regret?


5. Expand on one...

I decided to choose number twenty-four from the questionnaire. The question is, "what is your favorite occupation?". My favorite occupation is a nurse because I care strongly about the needs of others and I always try my best to help other people. Being a nurse deals with medicine but mostly focuses on patient care. When I grow up, I want to be in a profession where my job is to comfort or help other people. Although my family opposes me becoming a nurse because they think I would be settling, I believe nursing is very interesting and challenging job. I would be able to enjoy what I was doing on a day to day basis while also testing my knowledge of medicine (science and math).
