I really like the concept of individualism, partially because I have lived that life style my entire life. Like the book states, I have been "encouraged to make [my] own decisions, develop [my] own opinions, and solve [my] own problems" (Trenholm, 2011 p. 335). Even though my life is so centered on myself and my well-being, I have often thought of what is right for the group before putting myself first. At work, I am always asked to stay late, because 9/10 times, I will. It's partially because I need the money, but mostly I stay because the store needs me. Someone will call in sick and there will be little to no coverage during our busiest hours, and I feel bad.
I also have injuries to my back, neck, and left arm, but every night that I work late, I still fill the water and break down pallets, resulting in lifting over 1000 pounds throughout the night. I don't mind though; it helps the store out, which allows my boss to give me more hours, and I then earn more money in return.
Wait... never mind. It is for my own well being. Me first. I win.
