How will I grade this?

Your grade will be determined by the organization of thoughts displayed, and how well you present what you have learned about yourself and how you will use it in your decision-making process. Poor grammar and spelling will result in a lower grade. Remember each response should be in full sentences and a minimum of 3 sentences.
