Today is Saturday, I went up early and skyped with my family in China. According to Lunar Calendar, today is “the double ninth festival”, which is also my lunar birthday. Thus, I had a great talk with my parents and told them my miss to them. This represents my top value of “family”. At noon, I cooked lunch with my friends and we went to Safeway after that. This represents the value of “friendship”. In the afternoon, I went to the library and studied for my major course. This indicates the value of “wisdom”. Then, I went to the gym and had a short work out. I think this reflects my “health” values. I think my top 5 values match well to the activities that I pursued today, and my top 4 values” family, health, friendship and wisdom” all represented in my daily activity. I think “enjoyment” is also represented, since I enjoyed doing my work including study, and I had fun when I was thinking and understanding.

1. For the belief patterns I inherit from my family, I think is “family, health, wealth and prestige”. My parents always tell me, “No mater what happen in your life, remember, your family will always support behind you.” I am so encouraged by this word, especially when I went abroad and lived alone in the U.S. I never felt lonely when I remember this word. The “health” value is inherited from my grandmother, she was very good at sports. She keeps fit now even though she is over 80 years old. She told me the importance of exercise and that health is always my capital.
2. I think the “prestige and wealth” values are no longer valid according to my acknowledgement. Parents always put their hopes onto their children and hope them become successful or to be seen as successful person. However, I think doing something I enjoy is much more important than getting recognition from others. Different people have their own explanation about success. In my opinion, to have fun doing something can bring me a feeling of satisfaction. To me, that is called success. No matter what the results are or how much money I can get from it.
3. Recently, my goals for myself that I have yet to pursue are my plan to further my study in graduate school about nutrition and my plan to travel around the south part of the U.S.
4. I am working on my applications to some graduate programs and I think the goal will come true in the future if I make enough effort. In addition, I am talking with my friends recently, who had experience about travel to southern part of the U.S. I want to get more information and experience before starting my plan of self-driving travel.
