When we meet people for the very first time, there are two questions that most ask:
What is your name?
What do you do?
What is your name?
What do you do?
Our name and our "job" often define us for others. But! Are you more than just a name and an occupation?
What do you value?
"Values are central; they go to the very core of us, to our personal identity. Our principles are perhaps the most important thing as, whether or not we live out our dream or achieve our mission, they are most likely to remain intact. Values are a foundation and a plumb line as well as a moral compass." -- therightquestions.org
Self exploration is necessary for your first writing assignment: the personal narrative essay. You will need to pinpoint a time in your life that helped you to understand your personal values. Self exploration is difficult - it is much easier to critique others than it is to critique ourselves. St. Augustine even said
“Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.”
We search the universe for wonderful things without realize that we are wonderful creatures!

1. What I value most is my life because I know and appreciate how God have blessed me with health, a great family, great friends, and the opportunity to study in one of the best college of the country.
ReplyDelete2. My family: They are all for me.
3. My Major: Since I was I child I have Dreamed to become an engineer one day and now that I am on my way to do it I have to say is one of the things I most value in life.
4. Friends: Since we are kids we go to school, we play in the park, then we go to college and then we are in our job field. In those places we are not with family but we meet this people that enter in our life and treat us as family, Help us as family and let us grow up with them as family So I think we need to value our friends and make them know they are value for us.
i believe in god, but not in religion, however i think my first priority is my faith, because I strongly believe that God is the center of everything and is the one that have gave me the other things that i value in y life as my family. My second priority is my family and my friends, they are everything to me, and they give me the strength that i need to do the things i propose in my life. My third priority is y career, i think that medicine is not just a career is a way of life and right now im puting all my time and effort to become a doctor, also my career is what is going to give me my future life, and i hoping is going to be enough to give my parents a good life too. I put love, as four, not because i dont think is as important as the other ones but i think is the only one that can get enough of me and leave me. i think as humans being we need that type of affection, but i will never put a man over my family, my friends or my career, however you can never say never.

ReplyDeleteI value God because even if I don’t attend any specific church, I feel like I am extremely blessed and I owe it all to him.
I value my family because without their love and support I wouldn’t be who I am today, and I feel like I turned out pretty good.
I value my career, because even if I am just a student now, I am very passionate about the career I chose and I am very excited to pursue my goals.
I value my friends because they been there for me when I most needed them.
Four things that I value
ReplyDelete1- For me the most important thing is my family, they are always there for me and they really love me.
2-My studies because I want to be a good doctor in the future.
3-God.
4-My friends because they help me in difficult times.
1- Most importantly i value God, because he has given me many opportunities and has given me the best familly and friends i have.
ReplyDelete2- My family, is the second thing i value the most because without my familiy i wouldnt have been able to be here. Also thanks to my family i have been able to do many great things in life , specially doing charity work and visitting the forgotten ones. My family values moral and is always there for me.
3- Friends, my friends are a few but have a huge value to me. Without them i wouldnt think this way and thanks to them i have been able to suceed .
4- humble, i value humble people. I believe that no matter who you are or what material things you have , we are all equal to god . When you are humble most people like you and enjoy being together with you. Is one of the most important thing a person can be. It makes you amazing.
My family, they have been helping me to accomplish every challenge I took. And I will always be there for them in every situation they will need me.
ReplyDeleteEducation is one of my biggest priorities because I consider that the knowledge is like my truly possession because anybody can take it away from me or I can't lose it.
Respect is the most important value to me, because I think that if you are not respectful means nothing all the goals you can get in life. People need to remember that everyone deserves it.
Responsibility will always define a person to me. Is a big word and it includes a lot of requirements. When you decide to be responsible you respect yourself and others and I see it like the best way to live.
1- It's God because like i said before his timing and plans are perfect.
ReplyDelete2- My family, I think that without them I woudn't be able to be where i am today. They 're always there for me no matter what and giving me good advices to success in life and always stay humble.
3- My career, I'm really in love with what I'm doing right now and I think when I graduate from college my job will be something that I'm not going to do just because I have to. I'm considering make two masters.
4- Respect is one of the most important things in the world , cause you have to accept the opinion, type of life, likes and what everyone deserves not just think on you.
5- The last one is friend, I believe when people say, by the time you get older you're going to have less friends because you have different point of view about life and more maturity.
