a. Are there any issues you had with your parents, school work, friends, or romantic involvements in the last two years of high school that continued to be issues for you in college?

Yes, I had all of the above. I fought with my parents, when all they wanted to do was help me. I had a very dysfucntional romantic relationship that scared me for years.  And I moved away from my best friends my last years of high school. Lets just say I still work on some of these things on a regular basis.  I feel that I never fully developed a positive self concept.

b. Reflect on your own personality, interests and cognitive abilities at the time you graduated high school.  How have these personality characteristics and abilities continued to manifest themselves in subsequent years ? How have they changed since your high school days, if at all?

I am a pleaser.  I tend to put others before my self.  I used to think that was a good characteristic but as I progress through life I realize it is a manifestation of poor self esteem.  Maturity is about the only thing that has changed in my personality.  My personality appears to be set.
