I have always considered myself to be relatively poor with numbers so this definitely goes to show that I do need to think more of myself and my abilities when it comes to not only math, but anything regarding numbers. Also, it is a reminder to me that I am smarter than I may allow myself to recognize. This entire experiment confirms that how you perceive things are usually how they are, and based on what you think, that is going to affect how well that you do. This is an interesting life lesson to use going forward, not just with this, but

I no longer want to be a part of a popular or important group of people, if I feel that what the group is doing or believes in is wrong, even if it means I'm not a part of the norm. I am not afraid to stand out on my own. I have challenged this belief for many years. When I was in elementary school, I was bullied by a group of girls that I hung with, looked up to and idolized.…

To widen my range of experiences I would most likely have to travel more and emerge myself directly into new cultures. I would also have to study different languages a bit more for that is an area I very much lack in.…

This strength as well works with, group facilitator, I am capable of looking over a group and having the talent to “show awareness of those who feel left out”.
