Think of a person that you admire and consider successful—professionally or academically. The person you choose can be a public figure or someone from your own life. Conduct some research to learn more about that person. If it is a person in your life, ask them questions. If it is a public figure, conduct some online research.
In a one- to two-paragraph post to the discussion, answer the following questions:
What characteristics does that person have that you feel contributed to their success? Give examples to support your opinions.
What characteristics do you have that are similar to that person’s?
What characteristics of that person do you wish you had? Specifically, what can you do to demonstrate that quality?
As you review other students’ responses, ask yourself how similar or different they are from your response. What suggestions do you have for that person?
