Solo Mission

In regards to my ASU Ed. Class...

Prompt: Do something alone that you usually do with people.

I chose go hiking alone. Hiking alone is something I've never done before, not by choice, but by circumstance. This was not a difficult task to do because hiking alone does not bring any sorts of insecurities. The only task at hand was whether or not to complete the mission. Usually, hiking with people is better because I am motivated by others to hike faster, etc. Going alone allowed me to create my own pace and even consider thoughts of stopping.

This experience has taught me that I am better motivated by other people rather than myself. Even with high expectations, I do not have a personal drive to match my expectations of myself.
