In my Gifted and Talented class, we are now transitioning to a new unit of ethics. After a few days of learning about terms such as values, and morals, we took a survey on our own values. Based on some questions that I answered, my results were:
- Education, Intelligence, Wisdom
- Love, Friendship, Personal closeness
- Religion, Spirituality
- Fulfillment, Intellectual and Vocational achievement
- Courage
I believe that these values fit me closely, but are not entirely accurate. Education, intelligence and wisdom fit me very well. I enjoy learning every day, and I like teaching other people and helping them learn. Love, friendship, and personal closeness also fit me accurately. I enjoy spending time with friends, and getting close to other people. Being close and having a meaningful relationship with God is important to me. I pray every night, and attend church as much as I can. I feel that fulfillment, intellectual and vocational achievement fits me as well. I like to achieve my goals and work hard towards them. Setting goals for myself is a big part of my life. However, I don't really think that courage fits me that well. I would like to be courageous and think of myself as a courageous person, but I don't think it's a value that I truly have. I was surprised by this answer.
