What's Important to You?

QW: If you were faced with an imminent emergency (fire, flood, earthquake, etc) and you had one minute to gather the important things and get out of your house, what would you take?

Values sort:
Print out the values cards available here: http://www.icarevalues.org/Value%20Cards%20v4.nd.pdf, and cut them apart.  In the blank ones, you can write in any values that are not already in the set.  Then do the following:

• Sort the values into two piles - those that are important to you, and those that are not so important to you
• Remove the pile of non-important values (that is, not so important to you; keep in mind these may be important values for someone else)
• With the remaining pile, sort the values until you have them in order from most important to least important.  You may have to go through the stack a few times and rearrange the values before you're satisfied with the order

Complete this worksheet.  You can either print it, or make a copy for yourself and complete it in Google Docs.  Turn it in to your EF.

When you start looking into careers, it is important to keep in mind what your core values are.  If you end up in a career that does not match up well with your values (especially the most important ones), you will be miserable every day.  

Take a minute to reflect on why these things are important to you.  Write 1-2 paragraphs describing the people and institutions in your life that have shaped your values.
