2. My highest scores were with accepting self-responsibility and discovering self-motivation. This was interesting to see. I do see myself as the one thing that can change how my life goes. If I work harder, have more willpower, get more organized, I feel like I can be more successful in life. When I am lazy and do not try hard I know it is my fault if I don't get things I want. I've had a goal for about two years with my college education and what degree I'd like to major in in the future. It's something I'm really interested in and I envision it coming to life.

3. I was sad to see my low score was in adapting lifelong learning. Unfortunately most of the time when I do take classes I do not see a high value in learning the material so my education becomes a huge challenge for me especially learning subjects I do not care about. Employing interdependence was also a low score for me. I've never tried to get tutoring on any subject I struggled with growing up and that definitely negatively affected my outcome in some of my grades. I should learn to reach out more and become a part of my close community for the sake of my education.
