"In Portia's Shoes"

If I was in the same position as Portia from The Merchant of Venice, I would not be completely sure if I would follow the instructions my father left me before he died. Knowing myself, I would defiantly not enjoy having a husband I did not choose for myself, or fall in love with, for that matter. I would do whatever I could to marry the man of my choice, who I loved, and who loved me back. Although, I would have to honour my father, and do what is right for the place I would sit in society. Having a man 'win me' is not such a pleasant thought, and I would wish my life not to end up that way. What a miserable life I would live if I let that happen. So if I decided to follow the instructions of my father, I would ask, pray, and look for guidance to help me have the best chance of finding the right husband I would love. Even if it means having to put up with a lottery-type event for my suitors; one of them to be the lucky winner, getting me as his bride.

Self Reflection

My greatest success in this course so far, is being able to understand the technology used for our work. It has been a bit of a struggle for me, since I was always used to handouts and rough drafts of work being done on paper. I am successfully able to do my work quickly over the Internet, and doing it with less stress than the former ways of writing out my assignments.
My greatest challenge in this course so far, is the amount of time given for finishing our tasks and assignments. I find that a lot of my time during week days after school, is given to working on assignments over the Internet. For me, I enjoy to come home and not have homework to do, or very little homework, so than I can spend time with my family, and work on hobbies. Although, the amount of tasks to do gives me more responsibility, and I'm learning to plan my time more efficiently and dedicating more time to my work for school.

Humility- Golden Mean, Excess, Deficiency

Golden Mean of Humility: showing humility is thinking about others before yourself. You don't think highly of yourself or about your rank in society. You are humble and meek.
Excess of Humility: showing an excess of humility is when someone could be very shy and quiet. They may have a lack of participation in things, such as events or discussions. They try not to be noticeable in society.
Deficiency of Humility: showing a deficiency of humility is when people like to think highly of themselves. They may not think of others before themselves. They like to gain attention from others and make themselves noticeable.
