The Jung Typology Test described me as ESTJ, Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging.  I am someone who thinks everything through and does not tend to stray far from a pack of people. I really have to have everything planned out and in order before I do anything, which would mean that for me to travel anywhere I would first have to have a schedule or list of things I would want to do.

                However, I am also someone who tends to do things out of the blue. For instance if I go somewhere and something magically appears and I find interesting I tend to pursue it and stray away from the planned route for a while. Even though I find myself off task for a bit I always end up back to the schedule and become determine to finish what I start.

                This test also showed that I am hard working and really enjoy working with others. I am someone who hates to be alone but hates large groups as well. Working with a small group of people or traveling with a small group is something I enjoy and can handle. I am someone who likes to know everyone and likes to explorer and discover new places. I feel that this test described me very well with these four letters.

                I am for the most part what they described. I am someone who sticks to strict schedules and plans ahead. I also found it interesting that the job description for these letters has to do with the business field, which is my major. In conclusion I am really happy with my test.

I have learned a lot about the country of Greece this year from both this project and other professors. In this class I learned about their government and how it is ran.  I also learned about their schools and how they work. This was very interesting to me and was very different from ours. I also learned about their history and where it came from. The most interesting to me was the things about their art. I also learned about this in my art appreciation class. They had many well known artist from Greece that created many famous works. They also had the very famous Greece Gods. These were the powerful people of the land and who the ancient Greece people worshipped. They have many statues and landmarks throughout the land. With my project I have learned about there economy and how cheap their living is. I learned that I could attend school and rent a house for under 10 thousand. I also learned that their food is really cheap and the people are really friendly. They also have many tourist attractions such as mount Olympia and the Catholic Churches. The churches are some of the most beautiful things in Greece and contain some of the best art work ever done by the Greece artist. This is one place I would want to visit if I ever really went to Greece. They also have many breath taking views that would draw me the land even more. This is a place I could see myself.

When I was younger I always hated writing. It was the worst thing in the world and I always struggled with it. I never knew what to write and I would always second guess everything. However, as I grew older it slowly began to change for the better.
When I entered junior high this was the time writing was the worse for me. Everyday we would write short stories or journal entries and I hated this. I slowly began to dread writing and would put off doing it as long as possible. Writing became quit the enemy for me.
Once in high school though it took a turn for the better. I no longer hated writing and kind of became fond of it. My favorite type of writing was research writing because I loved looking up information. These were easy papers for me to write because I had all the information and didn’t have to come up with it on my own.
Even the writing got easier some things were still hard. I still struggled with grammar issues and word usage. This something that I still continue to work on and is something that is a never ending process for me. At this point in my life I would say writing is no longer scary to me and is something I hit head on. I really enjoy all types of writing now and find it almost fun and relaxing. This is away to express myself in a safe and healthy manner.

The event I attended was based on Cambodia. This event took a unique approach to informing us what there goals were during there time in Cambodia. They had six different stations set up for us to visit and learn about there individual projects in Cambodia.
The first one I attended was titled water testing. The goal of this group was to show the people what is in the water they drink. They also wanted to try an catch the harmful bacteria in the water before it caused health issues to the people.
The next group I attended was titled the human knot. This group was all about creating safe and healthy games for children. The one that they had us play and plain on using while in Cambodia is titled the human knot. This game is exactly what the title says and takes a lot of communication and thinking skills.
The last group I made it to was micro lending. This group was about informing the venders about supply and demand. They had to do this in the simplest way possible and that was through hands on. They took a chart and but pins and strings representing different things. The goal was to make it as simple as possible.
This was a really interesting group and did a nice job presenting there ideas. I am really glad I attended this group.
