This includes me relationships with my family, friends, colleagues, and students. I consider myself an extremely loyal friend and I believe I have used this trait to helps others overcome obstacles. For my life to be meaningful in the future, I hope to still have strong connections with the people that I work with and act as a person of support for my family and friends. ]]> 2020-09-09 17:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/732381789 es2010006 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785095968 This activity engaged me to examine impact from past memories and outside influences including people and places. It then challenged me to view how these memories affect you today. Our past influences us from the smallest things such as speaking patterns and eating habits, to the largest things such as how we drive and our processing of information. In 8th grade I went on a trip, which still affects me as today I am much more receptive for people who feel alone and isolated. My work in GLSEN has changed my view on life in the same way living in a town with low violence has: both gave me the ability to use transformative justice instead of resorting to violence. All of these parts of my life are influenced by the smallest past events]]> 2020-09-28 16:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785095968 jw2110025 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785176347 The first part of this activity asked about a past expierience I might have thay affects the way I think or behave. I explained how my current hatred of the dentist stems from the fact that I broke my tooth 3 times as a kid and it hurt really bad to fix so I associate the dentist with pain. The second part asked about an outside influence that may have affected my behavior, I immediately thought of my parents. For example when we were little they would read to us every night so that may connect to my current love of reading. Lastly it asked how growing up in Easton affected the way I think and behave. I said that because Easton is such a safe town it is definitely possible to get into the habit of not seeing potentially dangerous situations]]> 2020-09-28 17:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785176347 cf2115023 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785268519 The first part of the activity asked about a past experience that has altered the way you think or behave. I said that because I got a new puppy I am more patient than I used to be. The second part of the activity asks about an outside influence that influences your behavior and I said my dad. I try and be positive because my dad is very optimistic and he influences how i think and my behavior. The last part of the activity was to explain how living in Easton has impacted the way you think and behave. I said because Easton is such a small town that I realized people are going to comment on what I do and that I just have to not care about what they think and do what I want to do. ]]> 2020-09-28 17:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785268519 th2115036 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785376975 The first part of this activity asked you to draw a picture of a house, tree and person as you see it in your mind. It then asked you to analyze it using an article and explain your results. Depending on the different details of your drawing, it explained your behaviors/personality. My results contradicted each other a lot. Some parts of my drawing showed that I was optimistic, stable and ambitious. While other parts of my drawing showed that I was sad, insecure and shy. Though some of the things I drew reflected myself, there were also many that did not. Overall, my results were not very specific but it was still a fun activity. ]]> 2020-09-28 17:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785376975 lg2215023 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785416007 This activity prompted me to draw a picture of a house, a tree, and a person without copying anything. Then this drawing is analyzed and demonstrates personalty traits based off of your drawing. If your drawing had larger more abstract pieces it would supply a different view on your personality than if you drawing was smaller and more simple. My results gave ideas into my shy and insecure personality but also got parts of my hyperactive personality. Some ideas presented by this activity were accurate but some ideas are not super accurate and could contradict other ideas of personality.

It then led to basing my drawing on an analysis made designed to demonstrate one's behavior and thoughts. For instance, the pressure used from your pencil to draw the image indicated one's personality. My results described an ambitious and consistent person who also shows signs of stress and anxiety. I feel the inconsistency of my analysis described my thoughts and behavior recently, due to the new environment and change in life. Overall, the analysis contradicted itself often, but it was an insightful activity. ]]> 2020-09-28 18:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785540264 sn2201012 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785569651 At first we were asked to draw a house, tree, and a person. Then we read an article that had an analysis on how you drew everything, or what you drew. I got characteristics from both my reserved side and my outgoing side. Some of them were very accurate, but some were very off. I would not rely on it because it's not a true analysis of someone's true personality.]]> 2020-09-28 18:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785569651 as2017012 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785599319 This activity had me draw a house, tree, and person. I then read an article about what the characteristics of my drawing say about my personality. I found that It wasn't very accurate. If the picture was small then it was supposed to mean that the person is insecure. This characteristics might just reflect that someone is insecure about drawing not about life. ]]> 2020-09-28 18:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785599319 cl2115045 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785710396 This activity started out by having us try to figure out a puzzle. the puzzle had many different sticks and shaped in the board of a tic tac toe board and they wanted us to move three of the sticks to form three square. I worked on it for about 10-15 minutes before giving up. I tried to but them in many different ways I could movie it so that there was four squares but that had me move 4 sticks and I was only allowed to move three. It was very challenging and it showed me how long I could really focus on something before giving up on it. ]]> 2020-09-28 19:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785710396 rb2202007 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785747623 This activity had me think about what people, places, and things are meaningful in life, and what it means to me to be successful. This activity made me realize that you do not have to have the highest paying job to be successful. As long as you are doing what makes you happy and surrounding yourself with the people that make you happy success can mean many different thinks to many different people. I personally find the activities I participate in, my family, my friends, and academics very meaningful. From a young age I have been obsessed with Grey's Anatomy and inspired by my family to part take in the medical field. That is what a successful life would be like for me.]]> 2020-09-28 19:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785747623 ev2102018 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785847384 This activity inspired me to think about the important aspects of my life and how I want to incorporate those aspects to lead a meaningful life in the future. I believe the good life is a life filled with friends and family, and a life where everyone helps each other. I want to help people in whatever career I decide to go into in the future. Additionally, I would like to join an environmental group to help save the planet from climate change. Specifically, I want to leave the Earth better than it is right now for future generations. That includes fighting to save the environment, volunteering, and standing up against injustice in society. ]]> 2020-09-28 20:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785847384 ca2115065 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785958109 In this activity, I was asked to consider what would make life meaningful for myself. I believe to have a meaningful life, you should do something that you are passionate about, whether that's a job, activity, etc. A person should not look back on their life regretting not doing one particular thing. I also believe it's very important to be with your family and friends during your life, to be surrounded by the ones you love. To have a 'good life' I would like to have a future in law, and speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves. I would also feel that my life is meaningful by being surrounded by my friends and family]]> 2020-09-28 21:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/785958109 hk2215034 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786018918 The first thing I had to do in this activity was to draw a picture of a house, person, and tree. I then read an article about how what I drew says about me as a person. If you were to draw a bigger house, it would tell you something about your personality, as opposed to if you were to draw a smaller house. I found that most of the bigger aspects about the drawing like the size of the house, and the placement of items, were mostly true. One that intrigued me was that I drew excessive branches, which means I had racing thoughts. I'd say I do have a lot of thoughts at once. There was definitely some contracting aspects, but overall it was interesting and I enjoyed it. ]]> 2020-09-28 21:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786018918 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786104731 This activity said to observe my family for 5 minutes. After doing so, considering the time I had done this, it seemed calming and content. It then asked how to increase this feeling? I would say relaxing music and or dimly light room. An emotion I would like to decrease the stress and anger. With these strong emotions, they can sometimes take over an overall mood inside the house. In general, it is much better to be happy and content rather than sad, angered and or depressed. ]]> 2020-09-28 22:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786104731 em2201014 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786119031 This activity enlightened me on my life and how I am living it. It challenged me to think about what really matters in life, not just temporary things that will not matter in 40 years. I wrote about how being successful and living your life to the fullest does not mean you have to be rich, or have a huge house. You could have everything in the world and still not be content with how your living. I believe true happiness is the key to living "the good life". If you can say that you achieved your goals, tried your hardest, and remained happy, I would say you won at life. Although life does come with ups and downs, there is nothing you cannot push through and conquer. ]]> 2020-09-28 22:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786119031 mr2115066 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786121929 In this activity I was asked to draw a house, tree, and person and then analyze my drawings based off of a psychoanalytic perspective. I got many traits including withdrawn, honest, open, and stressed. While some may be true, I felt like the analysis wasn’t very cohesive or a very accurate individual representation of my personal traits, as some of my given traits were quite contradictory.]]> 2020-09-28 22:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786121929 kb2135006 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786138837 In this activity it asked me what I thought living a "good life" and a life full of meaning. My answer to this was that in order for me to feel like I have lived good life would be being genuinely happy. To me this does not mean achieving huge goals or making a lot of money. It is being content with my current life and not regretting my life choices. I also believe that being with those you love and care about is just as important to live a good life. To me friends and family mean the world to me and having friends with me and a family of my own is enough for me to have lived a meaningful life.]]> 2020-09-28 23:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786138837 lw2201001 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786141750 2020-09-28 23:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786141750 sb2135005 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786144695 This activity asked me what I thought living my best life was and what I hope to see myself as in the future. I responded to this by stating that I would like to have a successful career surrounded by loved ones and overall fulfilling my potential as an individual. Being able to accomplish goals and overcome hardships is an important factor in doing this, and I believe the benefits derived from doing so will provide myself with a happy, healthy, and successful lifestyle. ]]> 2020-09-28 23:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786144695 mg2105025 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786161695 This activity said to observe my family for 5 minutes. After doing so, considering the time I had done this, it seemed calming and content, with some stress. She had come home from an awful day at work, and was stressed about her work and school schedule. As she was retelling what she went through her emotions increased. The next thing asked was how to increase this feeling? The cause of the increased feelings is most likely because she was basically reliving as she was telling. An emotion I would like to decrease the stress and anger. With these strong emotions, they can sometimes take over an overall mood inside the house. In general, it is much better to be happy and content rather than  sad, angered and or depressed. ]]> 2020-09-28 23:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786161695 rg2101106 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786196372 In this activity I was first asked about my version of "the good life" was like, to which i described my desire to live every day knowing i helped someone in some way or did something that made me feel good about the day. I feel that i have helped to give back and make the world a little better by helping people with their problems and being someone to talk to and giving any advice i can and use what i understand about the situations and emotions of the matter to try and resolve or distract or aid them with whatever they are going through. lastly i was asked about how my life will be meaningful to me in the future. my answer to this is when i have a happy family with children i have watched grow up and go through life, and i know that i personally have spent my time living a life helping others and maybe even saving lives.]]> 2020-09-28 23:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786196372 hm2115001 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786285532 In this activity I was asked what I believed living "the good life" meant. For me, it is a life which is filled with generosity, empathy, and compassion. This activity revealed what I believe to be my purpose in life, which is to help others. When asked what I would do to make the world a little better, I responded with teaching empathy and compassion. If more people were able to understand and empathize with one another, I believe that there would be less conflict. I want to make an impact on at least one person in my life by showing them the benefits of looking through the eyes of others. I do not have a hero complex, I simply wish that the world could be an understanding place where all could coexist.]]> 2020-09-29 00:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786285532 kc2110026 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786311013 In this activity, I was asked to define and explain my idea of "the good life". In my opinion, the ideal life composes a surplus of self love that allows one to live their life in a manner that is best for them and additionally aids them in creating stable and loving connections with the people they value. In response to the prompt regarding how I have made the world a little better, I explained the compassion that I possess in aiding my loved ones through difficult times in their lives. In my idea I will continue to spread love and compassion through my dream career and family that I will hopefully obtain. ]]> 2020-09-29 00:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786311013 ma2202002 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786319979 In this activity I was asked to draw a simple picture of a house, tree, and person without any color. Then read an article analyzing my results by characterizing my personality based on how I drew my picture. Some of the traits I was given were aggressive, dependent, happy, and stressed. Though some were true, I thought most were the complete opposite of who I am. This was not a very accurate depiction of my character because it was simply based on how I drew a picture. This makes it hard to be precise because it has no information it is just coming to random conclusions. ]]> 2020-09-29 00:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786319979 al2101003 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786405288 This activity asked you to draw a picture of a house, a person and a tree and then read an article to analyze the drawing to determine what it says about you as a person. I felt that the analysis of the drawings was all over the place and contradicted other aspects sometimes. For example, some of the traits I got were calm, aggressive, childish, open with feelings, stable and stressed. I believe some of the traits that were results of the analysis were an accurate representation of me, but on the other hand some were the complete opposite in my opinion. Although it might be more accurate for some than others, I do not think my drawing of the picture was an accurate representation of my thoughts and behaviors. But, it was a fun activity and interesting to look at how different drawings could mean different things about a person and their behavior. ]]> 2020-09-29 01:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786405288 ll2145016 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786548453 In this activity, I was asked to play a game where I had to move 3 sticks from a tic-tac-toe formation to form 3 complete and equal squares. Surprisingly, it only took me about 3 minutes to figure the game out. It required a lot of concentration for me to understand which sticks I should and shouldn't move to be successful. I realized that moving 2 sticks from the same side of the perimeter of the tic-tac-toe formation was the easiest way to be able to make 3 squares. Once I moved the first 2 sticks and formed 3 squares connected in the middle with 2 other sticks vertically below the center box, it was clear that I could simply move the horizontal stick from the top of the center box down to the bottom of the 2 lone sticks, which created the third and final box. The game required me to use my imagination to figure out the correct placement for each stick. ]]> 2020-09-29 03:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/786548453 nm2101059 https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/788260490 In this activity i was asked to observe my family on specific behavior that i had noticed. Another thing i was asked to do was note was behaviors i would like to try and increase and behavior i would like to try and decrease. The behavior i would like to increases would be complimenting or encouraging each other. Things like aknowleding milestones how bog or small they might be. Behaviors i would like to decrease would be talking down on a family member, or saying things that are not benificial. For example, are not someone is mad or frustrated to not take it out on another family member, but rather talk it through and try to understand where each other are coming from.]]> 2020-09-29 15:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/acleary3/dv0vzjis63g7emnx/wish/788260490
