Thank you for letting me stop and reflect on my life for this class. I did all of the worksheets but I will share my influence spider diagram for the project.

It was interesting to know that, I think a lot of outside influence may have created the base of who I was, but I was able to grow and enhance my beliefs and my core values from quite an early age. Now, I'm quite proud to say that no outside influence affects me on my decision making and the way I live, since I trust in myself above anyone/anything. Thats probably because how strong I was able to become through all of the experience that I went through, and I am grateful for the good and bad experiences that I've had to deal with because I think I am stronger than ever now. 

I was also raised watching a lot of TV/Movies and now internet, that the stories and information has influenced me on how I would and wouldn't want to live my life, and whenever I have some stress or worries, I have certain quotes to remind me to go back on the track that I want to be in so that I can stay in a positive mindset.

I was also quite recently laid off from a job I've had for 15 years, so it was a little difficult answering some of the questions from the worksheet, but looking at the big picture, and by looking at the past, its been clear that I've always loved music, art, and sports. This part of me hasn't changed since I was a child, and I still love them all to this day. So, when it comes to thinking about what I want to do in the next chapter of my life, I do still think I want to continue working as a graphic designer, but I also would like to spend time more wisely so that I can also enjoy music and sports as well. But when it comes to making a living, I hope that I can do what I love, and be able to live a happy life :)
