My Values

Some of my values are competition which was engrained into my mind throughout school from being in sports and playing in gym class. I like winning and I don't really know why it's just something that I was taught was good and that's what you play for is to win. Future orientation is a big one for me because I want to do good and I want to be able to have money and do what I want when I want and not worry about not having money. Directness is a big because I like being straight forward and telling people the way it is. You shouldn't have to lie to someone to make them feel good, by telling them straight forward they can work on their weaknesses. Directness is also very good if you want a management position because you have to be direct when telling people directions/orders. Honesty is a big part in everyone's everyday life because if you cannot trust your friend or your worker than their probably not a very good person. Efficiency to me is how well you can work or how well you can get things done.

These American values affect me at school because when I play sports we usually have pretty good competition and that's what makes the game fun. Future orientation is big during your senior year because the teachers are always influencing you and asking you what you are going to do with your life and what you want to go to college for. Directness can always be used in school especially when kids get loud teachers show directness and also when they are teaching to get a point across. Honesty is pretty much taught when you are growing up throughout school and most people lose that but its always a good thing to have. Efficiency is what teachers preach about when they give you free time and they want to see you use your time efficiently.
