Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society.

 For me, the hardest part of research is finding articles on the topic with relevant information. To confront this challenge, i with use AI to skim my articles for me before reading them myself to cut down on research time. Today we started brainstorming our topics.
