WHAT IS YOUR IKIGAI?
This paper will have multiple parts. If there was any manifestation or “embrace” of that any time during the semester, then tie it into this essay in some way. If there was not, then be honest and discuss how the term did not impact your experience this semester. **IT DID NOT IMPACT ME THIS SEMESTER**

This assignment requirement is an attachment of a diagram and an essay about you. The essay and diagram does have to be in APA format and it does have to follow accepted paragraph, sentence structure and referencing. You can use the copy of the diagram for this and embed it into the body of your paper. There are places that a blank diagram can be found. Be sure to cite the reference of where you got a blank diagram to fill in. Points will be lost if the diagram is an “add-on” or addendum. You can still draw it but it is not a requirement to draw it but the diagram does have to be included in your essay. The diagram has to be about you. This not a “set in stone” diagram of your life.
Each section on the diagram should be filled out that corresponds with the discussion that you have about that area in the body of your paper. In your discussion about your diagram, talk about each area of the diagram. If you count them there are 13 sections of the diagram. Your essay should talk about all 13 areas. DO NOT JUST LABEL THEM. I will look at it as how much effort you are putting into it by how well you explain each section of the diagram. Each section should paint a picture. Anyone reading it should be able to use the phrase at the beginning of each section you are describing with “Hey mom, watch me…” This may be a stretch for some concepts such as “passion”. Say to yourself, “hey mom, watch me demonstrate passion by doing….?” Talk about what would the very center of what your diagram looks like if it could be filled in with your real goal or ikigai.
The length of the paper is yours to decide, as there is no specific requirement for pages needed. Just make sure to touch on ALL points.
