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.

 Prompt Response: I feel right now success is based on my grades and what I do after high school. Also what ever happens with my soccer in the future. I think my success comes from family and what they believe in and influence me. I want to succeed by playing soccer at the next level in college and go to a good school after graduation because that will set up my life for the future.
