1. One value that I live by is the value of justice. To me, justice is a value that ensures equality, fairness, and adherence to the truth. Eliminating oppression and seeing all humans as equal is a value that guides my being. A second value that I adhere to is wisdom. I strongly believe in gaining a depth of understanding in order to have insight to the truth. Lastly, the value that guides me is simplicity.

7. I would not like to change any of my personal values but sometimes the journey for justice can be overwhelming and seem daunting. The obstacles in place to seek justice sometimes feel too large to overcome, especially when the laws of society deter justice from being served. It also seems frustrating when seeking justice and no matter what new legislation develops it feels as if things have not changed. This ideology was expressed to me at my field agency by one of the case
