- One of my strong personal tastes would be drinking coffee. I love drinking coffee and I usually drink a cup of coffee every morning. My family owns a keurig coffee maker and it's super easy to put in the k-cup and make coffee. My favorite type of coffee is kona coffee or any dark roast from Starbucks. I have to drink my coffee black, I don't think it tastes good with cream and sugar. Another strong personal taste I have is a love for my society, the Monkeys. I love everything about my society and I even bought bright orange shoes because the Monkeys' color is orange. I also have an orange planner because it is the same shade of orange as my shoes are.
2. "...to be so free from any bias in his own favour that he can rejoice in his own talents as frankly and gratefully as in his neighbor's talents." How can you see this applied in your own life? Give specific examples.
- I can see this applied to my life specifically through school work and other school-related things like college applications or SAT scores. If I can be "free from any bias in his own favour" then if someone gets a better test score than me or gets a better grade on a project than I do, I can rejoice with them and congratulate them on their good work. I don't have to be bitter because someone else did better than I did. This can also apply to society too. If we're playing society football and the Monkeys lose but another society wins I can congratulate them on a good game instead of being angry and bitter because my society didn't win. In relation to SAT scores I shouldn't brag about my score to others or get a little bitter if someone else got a higher score than I did. I should be rejoicing with someone who got a high score or be there for someone who got a low score and is feeling sad about it. When college acceptance letters come back to all the seniors I need to be rejoicing with those who got into the college of their choice even if I didn't get into the same college or I can't afford to go to that college.
