Drive

Today I took a drive test to see what type of drive I have. The results of the test said that I have type X behavior. This means that I have a behavior that is fueled more by extrinsic desires than intrinsic ones and that concerns itself less with the inherent satisfaction of an activity and more with the external rewards to which that activity leads. However, I personally believe that I have type I behavior which means I am motivated by intrinsic things. I personally believe this because I am not motivated by grades or rewards, I am motivated by my self satisfaction after I complete what I am striving for.

At my mentorship, there is a split in the types of behaviors that the doctors have. Some are more driven by the money they make which makes them have a type X behavior. However, some of the doctors have type I behavior because they feel rewarded by the sense of satisfaction they get after helping many people all day and making their lives better.

In my life, I have constantly been challenged. The most challenging thing that I have encountered in school would be AP Literature essays. When I first began writing these, I had a lot of trouble thinking analytically. I tried my best on every essay that I wrote. It was a continual obstacle for me. The constant failure simply pushed me to do better and try harder. On one of my essays, I finally had a break through and I began to do better. I have been improving on my essays ever sense. The moment I found out that I had finally made a break through, I felt a true sense of accomplishment because I had truly been trying to improve on those essays just so that I could feel the excitement of finally doing well on them. This challenge greatly helped me in my school life as well as my personal life.

My personal sentence would be "she dedicates herself to benefit mankind." This is my sentence because I strive to do well in school and take the most out of my experiences now so that I can do well in college and medical school thus allowing me to save many lives and change the lives of many more.
