The values that I bid on were Time
Freedom and Work with Others. Time Freedom was my original number 1 auction
that I wanted. I didn’t put down any money budgeted for Work with others, but
it was something I had been looking at as something I want. All of my other
options were already taken and I thought that they weren’t really worth it or I
didn’t have any more money to auction with. But I love these values because
having the freedom to work when I want would be such a blessing because things
happen in life that you cant control. And working with others is something that
I would want to do, no matter what it is. I would never want to work behind a
desk all day by myself.
My values have always come from my
family and those around me. I see the things that my family values and that
becomes what I value. I see the things that the people around my value and I
either value those things or I see that they are not good things to value and I
steer clear of them. I have always valued my family and the time I spend with
them. That is why Freedom with my Time and Schedule would be something that I
would look for in a job or major. I would hate to be those types of people who
work all day and become work-a-holics and have no time for their family. Ever
since I was younger, that is something I have always wanted.
My
values that I chose have kind of been met in previous jobs. The top ten values
I chose were Time Freedom, Public Contact, Help Others, Make Decisions, Financial
Gain, Excitement, Adventure, Security, Change and Variety, and Influence
People. All I have ever done for a job is dance or spray tattoos on people.
Those jobs did have a lot of the things that I chose for my values, but some of
those things weren’t on it either. For my tattoos job, I did have time freedom
to the extent that I was able to choose the morning or afternoon shift. I did
have a lot of public contact and I was able to help others as well as some
financial gain. But for dancing, I was able to have pretty much everything on
my list except the Time Freedom. I was able to perform for a changing group of
people every day and have some kind of contact with them. I loved that job and
it would be something I would love to do for the rest of my career, except it doesn’t
give enough of a Financial Gain. I would never be able to make enough money to
support my family and gibe them what they want through just dancing. I would
love to do it in my free time, but that would have to wait until I can actually
figure out what I want in life.
Because
of my previous experience and my values, I know what I need to look for. I know
what not to look for and what is most important to me. I know that I need to
think of others and think my future when it comes to choosing this. This values
auction has really shown me where I need to put my money and where I need to
steer clear from.
