when was the last time your parents bought a cake for you because they were proud of your accomplishments? what activities do you do that make you happy when you do them? when you describe yourself in three adjectives, which one do you choose and why?

If you stay true to yourself, and be real you should be proud of yourself. This is based on the idea that you need to be able to think for yourself, and not let others dictate the way you think. In America, I believe we let society control the way we think. If you can think of anything, write about a time when you made a decision or conclusion that may have been against social standards, but you made it yourself without outside influence. Or even discuss a time you postulated about an idea that may have seemed absurd to others, but to you it made perfect sense. Hope this helps...
