In taking the ACT, and seeing others take it the same day, I was reminded of how differently people respond to the exact same event.
Strawberry prepared using books, online tests, practice tests, friends, and probably other things. Before the test, she had difficulty relaxing enough to get to sleep. Kicky says she didn't study at all, and the day of the test she was calm and looked as if she felt prepared. Alissa studied a moderate amount, taking online tests and practice tests, but the day of the test she was frazzled, saying the tests hadn't prepared her as much as she had needed. I was in the middle. I studied a little with Strawberry, and a little on my own, but right before the test I felt illprepared. During the test, however, I was calm and had little to no stress about the entire situation.
Of course, our personalities caused us to prepare differently and to react differently. Our levels of preparation may have also had an effect, but overall, it was our attitudes.
This applies to almost every situation I can think of. Our personality and previous experiences help us to form our attitude. Our attitude forms our actions and our reactions. Of course, certain attitudes are preferable to others in certain situations, and it is possible to change our attitude.
