To fully understand what thinking critically implies, we must first understand the topic at hand. Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. People who think critically consistently attempt to live rationally and reasonably. Critical thinkers are taught to think outside the box, and are able to understand all sides of the lesson.

These attributes have helped lead me to my academic achievements and service to others. I believe that my character is defined by these qualities which is what is ultimately presented to others and the community through my attitude and actions.

Maycomb is a small, quiet town full of racism and judgement. The citizens of Maycomb are represented by their ancestors. The Finch family was a well know, well liked, average family in Maycomb; however, the day Atticus Finch took the case of an African American man, that all changed. Atticus had to deal with many struggles because of his work and it took tons of humility to do so. Humility is not being

The ability to think is an innate action that, for the most part, all people possess. Nonetheless, not everybody has the ability or knowledge of how to develop this quality into something greater and beneficial. Critical thinking is not inherent; rather the skills necessary to think analytically must be learned and practiced with an open mind.

C.S. Lewis once said “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it 's thinking of yourself less.” This to me means humility is not thinking of yourself as much rather than feeling worse than yourself. Sometimes when I feel humility because I’m unable to do what others do I can’t help but feel very bad about myself. Normally, my pride and ego are damaged for weeks on end. However, I’ve been trying very hard to understand my limits are not the same as other people 's while also understanding that with enough effort I’ll be able to better myself. I just need to keep a calm mind and come to terms with what I can and can’t do.

I was not sure that I could complete my degree at fifty years old. Because of being out of school for over 30 years. I was somewhat reluctant to give it a try.
