When thinking of the “me I would like to be” I came to the conclusion it’s really hard to reflect on ones self like that. I would like to be remembered at least by this point of my life as a hard working, dedicated leader who can teach others in a different way, be patient, understanding, and able to challenge others positively. When thinking about this I also came to the realization that how I would like to be perceived might not always be how I come across. How I think others do perceive me most of the time is a great friend would sticks up for others, is always there, and loves to help… maybe a little too much a times. I value my self on and believe highly in family, friends, and respect for others and myself. If there was one problem around me that I would like to solve it would be when people aren’t treated with respect whether they are in a leadership position or not. Everyone deserves respect until they have proven they no longer deserve it. And if I could find a way to show everyone that, I think it could make a difference especially in a high school setting. As we talked about in class it is harder to say how you actually are now then how you would like to be looked at later on.
I appreciate your honesty, Elianah, in trying to complete this type of reflection. Indeed, it is a challenge to peel back the layers of the onion to discover what it is you value in yourself and what you want others to recognize in you. To me, whle you can not control what everyone thinks of you, how you align your actions and your words goes a long way to doing this. If you act in alignment with the values you hold dear then people will attribute those to you.
