Directions Your task is to take some time to reflect on the questions presented below and then write responses to each question.

You can put all of your responses in one paper and number the questions along the way. By the time you finish writing your responses, you should have a better idea of what motivates you to act in certain ways. This knowledge is useful if you decide you ever want to change your reason for doing something or the attitude behind it. What activities do you often do because you enjoy them? What makes the activities enjoyable and what do you get out of the experiences? What activities do you often do that you don't enjoy? (These might be chores or other responsibilities.) Why do you still do them? How do you motivate yourself to get through them? Why do some hobbies appeal to you but others don't? Which school subjects do you find fascinating to learn about and which ones bore you? Are there any subjects that you don't want to learn about or try to get out of taking? What is it about certain subjects that motivates you to either do well or avoid them? What kind of grades do you get in your classes? Do you put in the maximum or minimum effort and why? Are there expectations you perceive? If so, what are they? How do you reward yourself for doing something hard? What inspires you to do a good job? How do you like people to reward you?

I would think these are more opinion based questions that you'd have to answer based on your lifestyle, but nonetheless I like answering these type of questions! Here are my answers based on things <em>I personally</em> like doing. Hope this could be of help:

1: I often like to write, listen to music, and play sports in my free time.

2: I enjoy writing because it is a way for me to escape all the pressures from the day, reflect, and talk to myself about how I'm feeling or things I'm upset about. I always listen to music because I prefer it over watching TV and you can relate to more songs than TV shows. I also love music because there are millions of songs and plenty of genres to choose from, but you always find others who enjoy the same music you like, and it becomes a way to bond with others. I play sports with my friends as a way to get in my weekly workout or let off some steam. Doing all three of these activities are a way to better myself and reflect so that I don't get overwhelmed with stress.

3: I have to wash the dishes at home every night because it leaves me little time to do my homework and do personal things such as writing or listening to music. I also don't really like doing my homework.

4: I still do the dishes because I have to realize there are others who don't have a plate to eat off of but I do. I also still do my homework because I don't want to get a bad grade.

5: I motivate myself by thinking of what I can do after. Like after I do the dishes, I can finally do my homework. After I do my homework, I'll get a good grade and it'll pay off for my transcript.

6: Some hobbies are things I'm just good at and they're just my style. I consider myself a writer who appreciates good books, poetry, and song lyrics. But if I had to do something like drawing, I'm not a very good artist, so I wouldn't enjoy doing it.

7: I enjoy history and English the most because I consider them the most useful in the real world. Yes, our math teacher may say that the things we'll learn are going to help us, but why not learn things like how to file taxes? History is something I can teach to my kids and refer to when I'm old, and English is the most useful because it broadens my vocabulary and teaches me things like how to write a proper email with all the correct grammar, apply for jobs, and submit essays.

8: I don't think there are any classes I don't want to take at all, I just don't like math or science.

9: Doing well in classes that other students don't do as well in makes me more proud that I went above the average. But I also expect to do better in the subjects I like, because it becomes easier to study them.

10: I get mostly A's and B's (Here I think you should put your actual grades).

11: I think my effort levels depend on how I'm feeling emotionally and physically. For me, every time I come towards the end of a semester, I start to get tired and slack off a bit. Or if I am tired I'll go to sleep and wait to finish my work because sometimes sleep is much more important.

12: My parents expect that I get good grades, but I think it matters if I actually tried. So if I don't do any assignments, I can't expect to get a great grade.

13: (refer to number 12)

14: I reward myself by doing something fun or a treat. I'll play a game I don't normally play because I don't have time, I'll have some ice cream, or I'll go see a movie.

15: I'm inspired to do good from both good and bad examples. People like Ryan Coogler who directed "The Black Panther" is a great success story and when I see people like him I have hope for what I can become. However, when I see students who aren't doing as good of a job, I just think to myself how I don't want to be stuck in situations like them. I want to have all the colleges I apply to say yes instead of rejection, so I do everything I can right now to make sure that won't happen.

16: I like people to reward me simply through acknowledgement. Telling me I did a great job is enough of a reward for me. But I could always take food as a reward too!

Read the excerot below from the novel It by Stephen King and answer the question that follows.Richie had felt a mad, exhilaratin
denis23 [38]

Answer:

ovel It by Stephen King and answer the question that follows.Richie had felt a mad, exhilarating kind of energy growing in the room. . . . He thought he recognized the feeling from his childhood, when he felt it everyday and had come to take it merely as a matter of course. He supposed that, if he had ever thought about that deep-running aquifer of energy as a kid (he could not recall that he ever had), he would have simply dismissed it as a fact of life, something that would always be there, like the color of his eyes . . . .Well, that hadn't turned out to be true. The energy you drew on so extravagantly when you were a kid, the energy you thought would never exhaust itself—that slipped away somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four, to be replaced by something much duller . . . purpose, maybe, or goals . . . .Source: King, Stephen. It. New York: Penguin, 1987. Print.Which theme would be advanced by the tone in the above passage best?A. Despite age and experience, some people never grow up.B. Childhood has a magical quality that slips away.C. Don't take childhood for granted.D. Children should be given the chance to expand their vast energy.
