If I did not have to answer this question I would not worry because, I think that I would not change anything about myself. But since I have to then the things I would change about my self are as followed:

• My kindness- I sometimes tend to be too kind and people take that for a weakness.
• My willingness to give- In life sometimes there are times when a person does not have enough to spare, but I am apart of the very few that will give until I have no more.

Thank You Letter

-Dear, family, friends, teachers and fellow peers-First of all I would like to think God because without him nothing in life is possible. I would like to think two of the most wonderful parents in the world who were able to give birth to such a talented and wonderful son. Thirdly, I would like to think my whole family because thay have been with me and stuck with me from day one of my life. Next I would want to thank all of my past, present, and future teachers, because we all know that teachers have the "hardest" job in america. Lastly I would like to thank my fellow peers because they are people who i push myself to be better than and strive to be like. These people push me to excell and they keep me on the right track, I would like to thank them and tell them that without them I would not be the person I am today.

One Major Lesson

-One thing that I have learned in life that has stuck with me is, Use your resources because you never know when you will lose them. Growing up I never paid attention to how the world was run, and honestly I did not care. But one day I was called in for an interview for a job at a grocery store. The meeting went on without a hitch. I thought I was going to get the it, so I waited and I waited, but I never got a reply to my status of gaining the imployment. One day I decided that I would call and see if I was still considered for the position, unluckly they said that the job was taken. Later that day I decided to go to the grocery store and get a few items, I bumped into one of my former classmates and asked if he knows who got the job. He replied that the job would have been mine if the store manager's nephew would not have applied for it. This made me think long and hard about how our world is ran, but I could not be mad because if I had the chance I would have done the same thing.

Favorite Quote

-Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. -Booker T. WashingtonThis quote means a lot to me. It basically says that a person's success is not based on what they have or how much they have, but a person's success is based on obstactle that they were able to overcome in their life

Self Analysis Page

-Born Shaun Council, to the parents of James and Janie Council, I was a gift to this world. It became evident when I was young that I would be a smart kid. I used to win spelling bees, and numerous other academic awards. This followed me all through my years of life. These are things that I feel I have to offer the world: My intelligence, this is something that I feel is necessary for me to succeed, and dedication which I feel is also something that is necessary in order for me to succeed. Dedication is not something that everyone can possess, because it is something that takes time to develop, and is not hereditary. That is what I feel is needed by me to succeed and this is what I have to offer life.

Student's Philosophy

-I view my life as lucky based on the simple fact that I am living. This is because some people can not say this because unfortunately, they are not living. On top of living i feel that I am lucky because because I am receiving a college education. I live my life to the fullest everyday because you never know when it could be taken away from you. I have fun all the time, no matter what I am doing because there is no point in being sad all of the time and walking around like the whole world is against you. Enjoy life and have fun while doing it, thats my philosophy on life.

Student's Purpose

-I feel that I have not found my purpose in life because I am so young. I am striving to be a good god fearing young man. Being able to live my life and become a better young man, and being successful when I grow up is basically how I view my purpose. Helping everyone that I can and being able to help someone in need, will be something that I think will help me in finding my purpose.
