My Values Assessment

Growing up, It’s hard figuring out your purpose or whether you even have one. Life tends to throw obstacles at you, leaving you vulnerable and afraid to move forward. Luckily, life also throws you opportunities. Opportunities come in all different types; it could be a person, an interview, a scholarship, anything.

When referring to my academic values, personal values, and career values, I feel as if all six values fall into all three of these categories.

Overall, being artistic and social will be the two main things that will help me get to where I need to be in the future. This is not only helpful for myself but for others as well. During my career assessment, some of my top career choices were artist or a teacher. Why not do both and help people in whatever artistic way we can? Obstacles shield everyone’s eyes at some time or another, if I can be the person that shows them around these obstacles, that will be my purpose
