Assignment #4
Exercise #1
Dream: Get a Pharm.D and PhD in research.
Touchstone: Acknowledgment for advancing pharmaceutical medications.
Role Model: People in general.
Target: Develop new medications or therapy for human diseases.
Overall I think that I have the right goal in mind and a reasonable target. I wish I would have know a lot of the things that I know now back when I was in high school so that I would have been able to pursue my goals more vigorously and earlier than now. Even with the goal I have right now I am still not 100% sure if that is the right goal for me, since there are still a lot of stuff I do not know about myself and I am just starting to learn and still learning things about myself. Yea! yea! some might say that you can't learn everything about yourself in a day or even in a lifetime and that it is a gradual process, but stuff am learning about myself now feels like I should have learn or know about a while back. But oh well everything in due time. Role model wise I really don't have a specific one and the person that is closest to a role model to me happens to be a cartoon character. But in reality my role models are every African American, immigrant, or people in general who have nothing and came from nothing to become significant innovators and symbol of determination and hard work in every occupational fields such as medicine, research, social work and so on, when told by people that they could not amount to anything or succeed, considered bottom dwellers of society and constantly battling life's everyday challenges. Those are my role models.
Exercise #2
Your Type is INFJ
Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
Strength of the preferences %
67 25 12 33
The Protector
As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.
Quietly forceful, original, and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until they are done. Extremely intuitive about people, and concerned for their feelings. Well-developed value systems which they strictly adhere to. Well-respected for their perseverance in doing the right thing. Likely to be individualistic, rather than leading or following.
I think this test was accurate in describing my personality, expect for the part about quietly forceful, which am not well.... the forceful part that is. Plus that the INFP personality type has a better description of me, but apart from that the test was accurate.

Assignment #3
Exercises 4:
I am dark green. At first glance I seem calm, peaceful and boring, but on closer inspection I am energetic, full of life, active and mysterious like the amazon rain forest. At first glance I seem reserve, dull, shy and quiet like the southern swamps, but I am adventurous, open minded and an observer like the clouds roaming the sky.
Exercise 5:
As I walked into this person room the first thing I notice is the funky smell originating from different parts of the room that came together to form a not so bad and not so pleasant aroma, just a right aroma. There were no pictures or art on the walls just schedules and homework assignments pinned to the wall for reminding. There were different books on the room shelves ranging from religious scriptures, science books, and class required books. There are several clothes in the closet of the person that lives in this room and the clothes have many different colors, but some clothes look worn than others. Upon further inspection this person has no Television in his room, but has a computer and on the screen are folders in no specific orders. After some more observation of the room I suspect that the person that lives in this room is somewhat of a semi-organized person that moves to the beat of his own drum. Could be considered solitary and intellectual person, based on music choices the person is all over the place on the music genre.
Exercise 6: Version 2

Exercise 8:
My ideal environment would be an environment filled with peace and respect among the different people around me. There are no wars or conflicts. Everyone helps each other without the fear of being sued or repercussion from helping someone. Everyone is allowed to be themselves without the fear of being judged or made fun of. People have respect and are willing to understand people with disabilities instead of staring at people with disabilities or pity them and there family. I will be famous for helping people and also for making people around me feel welcome and happy. I would be living in Africa and enjoying all the natural wonders of the continent, because there are no more wars, conflicts or poverty and every ethnic group gets along with each. Also I will be president of one of the countries in Africa and help the country and other countries in Africa develop and become a global power among developed countries.
Exercise 9:
My ideal will start out with a big breakfast that contains whole grain pancakes with sausage, scrambled egg with a fruit bowl and green tea. ohhhh and pure 100% maple syrup. After breakfast I called up my childhood friends and we meet up at my garage and we put on our space suit get into my costume made space ship and take off from earth into the cosmos. We travel to the 8 planets in our solar system (yea I know I said 8, Pluto is no longer consider a planet, I would explain the reason but I will save that for another day). We went to Neptune and fly past all the clouds and into the planet to see what really is under all those clouds, we did the same with Jupiter and Uranus. After exploring our solar system we head out into other solar systems in our galaxy and look for new planets to explore and discover new clues to how the universe was formed and if there are other life forms on other planets. During our trip through the solar systems of our Galaxy, we spot a couple of planets that have different elemental materials never seen before so me and my friends named them after ourselves. After a couple of hours in our galaxy we return back to earth and have some roast beef with turkey sandwich. After lunch we head back into my costume made spaceship and head back in time to meet some of the most influential people in history such MLK, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Adolf Hilter ( yes I said it ), Albert Einstein and so on. After that we came back into the future and reflected on some of the stuff we have seen so far over some snacks at one of my friends place. Then we head back into my costume made ship and head down to the ocean floor to discover some new remnant of dinosaurs and other species that might shed light on the history of earth and how the dinosaurs of the ocean lived. After some deep ocean exploring we came back to my place. Cooked some spaghetti and meat balls and we reflected and discuss the adventure we had today. After dinner my friends went home and I went to bed.

Adjusted fantasy day with with only the indispensable elements in it.
On a more realistic day I live in a city and have a job that lets me move around and is not repetitive. Each morning I wake up and help my wife get the kids ready for school. After the kids are off to school I head to work at an hospital as a clinical pharmacist. I will be working with people to see what kind of health issues that they have and try my best to see what type of medication or can be given to alleviate or cure their health issues, and make sure the medication each patient is getting is in the budget range that the patient can afford. After work come back home eat dinner with my family and help mi kids with their homework or take them out to play. After that me and wife will tuck the kids to bed and we talk about how each of our day was.
Elements That I already Have.
In reality I do have a job and it gives me the opportunity to help people. I live in the city and also try my best to help my little siblings with whatever questions they have and I also hangout with them when I am home.
Elements Of My Adjusted Ideal Day that Are Conspicuously Absent From My Life As It Is Now.
What: A career.
where: My own house or apartment.
Who: A girlfriend or wife.
What Stands Between Me and Having MY Ideal Day Tomorrow?
Ummm... I would have to say time, money, and school. For me to get into my career I have to go to graduate school, which requires time and full attention to complete. With that I will be greatly distracted from a social life or have limited social which will have an impact on how and when I meet my future wife and also hinder my time and communication with my immediate family. When I do graduate and I have a career I will have to work long hours to get money, which will also hinder the time I spend with my family and kids.
