Learning to Swim Part 3

3. American values that I embrace would be Activity and Work as well as Progress. These values allow me to set goals and work to improve myself and my life. I am always busy, so I think that activities and work have a large significance in how I live my life. Progress is an important value because it is a dynamic word, changing with circumstance. Progress is never-ending because there is always room for improvement and growth. Two examples of values that i creatviely adjust would be Individual Personality as well as Material Comfort. I think that i creatively adjust these values by changing how I act when I realize my own mistakes. I don't try to change my personality to fit in or anything like that, but I know my friends and family have formed the personality I have, and thus I have made adjustments to be the happiest with them. Material Comfort has to do with the choices I make and things i choose to buy. I have adjusted this value to apply to the things I need day to day to live comfortably. By adjusting values to fulfill one's own happiness is what allows us to lead the best lives possible. By understanding what each value means in our own lives specifically, we can focus on what is most important to us.
