Reflection:
The life value assignment helped me to understand the order in which my priorities listed. I value my family and friends the most important factors in my life. I message my parents and friends everyday to check on them to see how they are doing. Even though I always believed my family and friends are the most important values to myself, in the past, I probably spent less time knowing and understanding their needs than I have spent time today.
After doing this assignment, I figured that if I really care about my family and friends, and value them as the most important factors in my life, I should take action to show and deliver my regards to them. Sometime it would be easy for someone just to rank values in order, but it becomes more difficult for someone to take action to prove why they valued in this way and how they express their care.
This picture is me and my best friend who has already graduated in the summer. We have know each other for three years in the college. I often ask for her opinion if I am struggle with any problems. She has a big influence on the person I am today. I have learned much from her as I cannot learn from the textbook.
Future goals:
I believe some of my personal values will change as I grow older and learn more from my experience in life. I am sure in 10 or 20 years, something will be different from who I am today. It is difficult for me to predict the future, what I really need to do right now is to understand what means the most to me. I would say, family comes the first, then friends. I will always keep my beliefs and values in the deep of my heart.
