Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society.

 At this stage in my life, I mostly define success by maintaining a high GPA and receiving an acceptance letter from my top-choice college. These ideas primarily come from the competitive environment at school and the standards set by my parents and counselor. While I value hard work, I sometimes feel this definition is more of a reflection of societal expectations and the pressure to secure a stable future. However, I am starting to realize that true success might actually be found in the personal freedom and experiences I gain outside of a classroom or a scorecard.

Today we read chapter 9 and 10 and did some worksheet for the chapter which involves critical thinking 

I learn a lot about open ended questions and learn a lot about the chapter.
