Part of my top five selections had to do with my work values. This is why I thought it was important to include dependability, integrity, listening, leading and attention to detail. I would have liked to include more in the very satisfying skills section however I played along with the activity. I considered the moderate skill section to be an extension of the very satisfying section. That being said, I think my somewhat satisfying section is more of my moderate list.

Achieved status is the things we accomplish in life and put effort into. These are the things we freely do. My achieved status would be when I was in High School and I volunteered to mentor small kids at an elementary school.
