Something I Cannot Live Without

Obviously, you need food, water, shelter, and your family's support to continue living comfortably. However, put all of those absolute necessities aside for a moment. Think about the other things you have in your life. What is one thing you absolutely could not live without? This thing could be either concrete or abstract. In your response, provide an explanation describing this thing you cannot live without and then provide a detailed explanation for why you could not live without it.

"The Line" and "The Bucket"

Think about the following analogies we have used in class this week 1.) “the line” of being closer to high school than your years as an elementary student as well as 2.) “the bucket” simulation comparing the bucket to life and the tennis balls to opportunities in life. With those analogies in mind, answer the following personal reflection questions: What do these analogies mean to you? Where do you see yourself on “the line” and with “the bucket”? Give specific examples to support the connection of these two analogies to where you’re at with your life and your goals for the future.
