Prompt: Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society.

 Success for me right now means getting good grades and getting into a good college. It also means doing well in activities like sports and tests like the SAT. These ideas mostly come from my family, school, and what society expects. Sometimes I feel like success is more about meeting those expectations than what I really want. I think real success should also include being happy and enjoying life. I am still figuring out what success truly means for me.

Summary:Read into the wild and wrote reflections on it

Reflection: Learned how to connect with the book
