To summarize briefly my responses to the previous Installments from the Archetypes, Constructs, and Traits Papers, I will start with Installment 1: I chose Owl from Winnie the Pooh characters because Owl possesses two symbolic attributes I appreciate and fear: knowledge and death. He inspires me to learn and symbolizes death. I chose Mr. Locke from Lost from a survivor show because he showed to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of his world and of that of those around him. From the greatest fictional superhero of all time, I chose Jean Grey/Phoenix because she is a symbol of resiliency, rising back up from tragedies, righting the wrong doings. From Installment 2: My most salient constructs I have found were genuine people, people’s …show more content…
I also have learned that I need to work diligently regardless of each and every circumstance. Looking at the other side of situations, learned from people that I cannot, or I should say, should not trust easily, that people will lie for particular reasons, and no matter how much I love and care for another, it will never be reciprocated back to me in the same way, or in a way that I need.

Although I will run across people and situations that become an obstacle, I am certain I can eliminate obstacles that slow me down out of my life. At last,” what will I do with what the information I have learned from this paper?” I believe I shall share all of the installations with my “sister”. She loves to read everything I write and I love her feedback. She points out behaviors I may have missed. I may work on the not-trusting-others issue, and rethink my current relationship. I can honestly say that I will continue to live authentically, as loudly and excitedly as I can. I need to eliminate certain people from my life and others I need to re-spark a relationship with. I will continue to create opportunities for myself and create experiences to learn
