This I believe post topic.

I believe that if there were better fathers in the world today that many of our problems that face our youth would not exist.  The number of households in the United States that do not have a male present has dropped drastically from the 1960's.  Mothers can only do so much.  I work with young men every day at my job.  These young men have one thing in common, they do not have a dad or there father is not a factor.  I grew up with an amazing father.  He was the ultimate example of what a man needs to be.  He taught me to distinguish right from wrong and always showed my mother respect.  A person does not always turn out right because of a father.  More times than not a person who gets a good role model to follow will make those good decisions for their life.  The young men I work with that do have a solid person in their life are most of the time sharp and lead.  I teach leadership to these youth so when they venture out into the world, they have a sense of desire to make themseleves do good.  I feel that many young men need that father figure around in their life to help shape the future.  My father had an enormous impact on my life.  Jacob Hamon

Jung Test Reflection of Myself

I took the Jung test and got some results that I thoought I knew about myself and some that I did not know about myself.  I guess the not so great side to me was that I had a strong judging side to my personlity.  As much as I do not want to think of myself as this way it is most likely true of myself.  I am quick sometimes to judge individuals at first glance, rather than giving them a chance to present themselves.  This is something that I have always struggled with.  The test also showed how I am an extrovert.  I would have to agree with this assesment of myself.  I am a coach at a local high school and have to be this way in order to do a good job.  I express myself to my players and they in turn react to it.  I feel this could help in my writing to express myself.  In writing the writer needs to express themseleves so to give the writing a strong character.  If the writer holds back vital information to the piece being composed then there is chance for failure.  I feel that my outward appeal may indeed help my writing style out.  I feel the Jung test is a good indicator of how we are as writers.  The only thing about the test is that it cannot possibly know how we truely are.  Only the actual work we do can accomplish this.
