Self Evaluation Paper

Self-Evaluation Paper The stage in life I chose to examine was going to high school. There are many new exciting and dreadful things that happen through those four years. There’s entering high school, playing on the school’s sport teams, making new friends, attending school dances, going on dates, learning how to drive, getting a job, being involved with school functions, figuring out your future, and graduating. All of these crazy events happened while I was in high school and it changed me for sure. Just thinking about going to high school was a scary feeling for me at first.

The last need we need is self-actualization. Like what I already talked about we need to know who we are. That makes life easier when we know who we are and what we want out of life. In high school I knew what I wanted. There are two other needs that are not as important but then could come in handy. Need for knowledge and need for freedom were the two other needs.
