        <h3>Exploring my Values</h3>
        <p>The following are values that come to mind when I'm feeling particularly happy, proud, or satisfied:</p>
        <table>
          <tr>
            <td>Accomplishment</td>
            <td>Close relationships</td>
            <td>Confidence</td>
            <td>Achievement</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Excitement</td>
            <td>Health</td>
            <td>Personal development</td>
            <td>Knowledge</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Security</td>
            <td>Movement</td>
            <td>Stability</td>
            <td>Self-reliance</td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <h3>Values in my Life</h3>
        <p>The following is how much I try to live up to the above values in my everyday life, from 1 being "not at all" to 5 being "everyday".</p>
        <p>Accomplishment: 3<br>
          Close relationships: 4<br>
          Confidence: 5<br>
          Achievement: 4<br>
          Excitement: 3<br>
          Health: 5<br>
          Personal development: 5<br>
          Knowledge: 5<br>
          Security: 4<br>
          Movement: 4<br>
          Stability: 4<br>
          Self-reliance: 5
        </p>
        <h3>Self-reliance</h3>
        <p>Even though it is the last value listed, I think self-reliance is one of the most important values to have in life. Of course, it is important to surround yourself with people you can trust and lean on when you're in need of support, but I think it's a very powerful thing to be able to lean on yourself when you're feeling down. To me, self-reliance means you are "enough for yourself"; that is, you do not need another person to <em>complete</em> you or make you whole.</p>
        <h3>Advice</h3>
        <p>My sister recently asked me for relationship advice, which I think is intricately tied to my close relationships, personal development, and stability values. I was able to call upon my understanding of these values to help her through this difficult situation.</p>
        <h3>Values and Stereotype Threat</h3>
        <p>I'm not entirely sure how my values may relate to stereotype threat; I don't think any of them are representative of a stereotype of a particular identity of mine. I do think these values can help me while at DBC, however. Most importantly, I should be focused upon knowledge and personal development. I also think it's key to keep my health in check while during the program; while it will be intense, I need to make sure I am still taking care of my physical, mental, and emotional health.</p>
