Reflection:

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

What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?

What is your greatest regret?

What is your motto?

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

What is your favorite occupation?- This answer will probably change in five years because I will hopefully be in college enrolled in a major. Although as I would like to be in the medical field, I will probably be focused in some other field like business, management, etc.

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

Who are your favorite writers?- This answer will probably change in five years since hopefully in the near future, my perspective on reading will be different from what it is right now.

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?

What is your most marked characteristic?

Who are your heroes in real life?

How would you like to die?

5. Expand on one...

I decided to choose number eighteen from the questionnaire. The question is,"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?. My biggest flaw is procrastinating till the very last minute. This is something that I have been trying to work on for a while, even though I always find a way to still procrastinate. I want end this bad habit as soon as possible. Next year I will be a junior, which is a big year when it comes to colleges. If I can quit this habit by junior year, I could really take a big leap in my grades and test scores. Getting rid of my procrastination habit will improve my chances of getting into a better college.
