#2

The highest scoring areas were in mastering self-management, gaining self-awareness and adopting lifelong learning. I believe I scored high in these areas as they were goals of mine to complete as I went through high school. As I work more towards independence, these, along with the other scores will continue to improve. Life is a journey without a predetermined destination and I feel that much will change when I look back at this 20 years from now.

#3

The lowest scoring areas were in discovering self-motivation and developing emotional intelligence. These two areas have always been a struggle in life and as such scored the lowest. I am motivated to get things done but always needed “words of encouragement”. While this might have scored low, it is one of the things that I’ve improved tremendously on over the past couple of years. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the number much higher in the coming years. Emotional intelligence is very hard for me. I do tend to hold my emotions in as to not interfere with whatever I’m currently doing. But there are times where I’ll “burst” and everything goes to pieces. This will probably be one of the slowest improving scores out of all of them.
