Creed 8
A. Revisit your short list of influences from Creed 6. Which of these people, events, places or circumstances do you admire or value the most? Write a reflective paragraph with at least three specific reasons why you admire this influence so much. Repeat the process with your next most valued or admired influence.

B. Once again, look over your Short List. Which item on this list do you least admire--or least value--for the influence he, she, or it has had on you? In a third reflective paragraph, explain,
giving specific examples. What other characters or people from your list do you not admire
much? Why? Briefly address these two questions in a fourth reflective paragraph.

C. You have just made two choices. You have chosen one of your influences—a person, event, or
circumstance--as the influence you most admire or value, and you have chosen another
influence you admire or value least. Write a fifth reflective paragraph in response to this question: What do my choices of most and least admirable influences say about my own values? In other words, if I most admire __________, what does this say about what I value? If I least admire ____________, what does this say about what I value? Please develop this paragraph with examples.
