Thoreau explains his aim to live a simple life. Write about your goals for living. Thoreau uses details that show his goals and values.. Be sure that your details reflect your values in life as well.

My goal in life is to succeed and be all that I can be. I like a bump in the road because it only makes me stronger in the end. I like to know people are confident in my success. So if I succeed then I know i've done my best but if I don't I know i'll have to keep trying til I get it right.
