Reflective Essay: My Hero's Journey Of Growth

394 Words2 Pages

After reflecting on my obituary what I value as an individual is the relationships I have created throughout my on-going journey of growth. Elliott (2011, p.104) notes that we learn by reflecting on experiences. Therefore, my values will always be changing with the experiences I go through. What I valued as a child and teenager has changed, therefore, what I value five years down the road may also be different, but there are a set of core values that will always remain important to me. I value relationships built around trust, communication, respect, honesty and care. Elliott (2011, p.109) states that we have core values such as respect, honesty, trust, sharing, empathy, courage and love. I do believe that I have majority of these core values.
