QUICK WRITE:

Identify the people, places, things, ideas that make life worth living for you personally.

There are so many things that make my life worth living at this very moment in time. Going through my mind right now as i sit down and reflect a couple of the most important ones are, Graduating school, Going to college, Going further with my education. Those are goals that are in no specific order along with my family and sustaining a great career and being independent.

1 Feel, Reaction or Emotion

Quick Write Response after reading:

There is so many things to look forward to in life that can keep a person going and motivated to continue living their lives the best way that they can. A person with locked-in syndrome has no ability to enjoy life physically what so ever and can still find joy in living life after they have made contact with such a neurological disorder. I guess what I am trying to say is, A humans mind is capable of making bad situations good, and good situations even better. It is all up to the individual and how they choose to go about it. Everyone is different and with that being said, What we consider a reason to live/ daily motivation will hugely vary from one individual to the next. However one thing is certain that if you keep a positive outlook on your life then it will yield greater satisfaction and thus make for a better quality of life.

  1. It is admirable how you work through your squeamishness with Bauby's condtion. Watch your punctuation. You have some errant capitals and are negligent with apostrophes.
