The dictionary definition of archetype is an original model from which all similar things are derived from. Plato saw archetype as a pure form that hold the fundamental characteristic of all things. Then, in 1919, a Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung approached the concept of archetype with psychology. He explained “archetypes” as universal characteristics exist through our subconscious thought, dreams, art, myth, and behaviors. These play a role on how we interact with the outside world, our behavior, and motivation. We study our archetype to reflect our self, in hope of better understanding of who we are now and who we may become in the future. Jung came up with 12 basic archetypal characters.

I fit this trait in a way that I am interested in the questions of life and society. I would once in a while discuss about religion, quality of life, and love/hate with my friends. I am open to new knowledge because it provides the priceless wisdom. Also, my best subject areas are science and math, so I praise objectivity and truth.

One of my dreams is to become like Christ McCandless and have a self-discovery journey before I turn 35. I want to try different jobs, other than my main career interest. I want to try to be a teacher, a fire fighter, a taxi driver, and even a garbage man to see what it is like to be another person with a different perspective. I would like to look back one day and see that I have lived through a fulfilling
