In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have identified your animal, learn everything you can about it. What does it eat, and where does it live? Read about its history, behaviors, and the way it is portrayed in literature and the media. What does this animal represent?  An animal's particular wisdom is called its "medicine," or power. This medicine can be used to help during a time of need. For example, a hawk's medicine might be its ability to see clearly when others cannot. If possible, spend time near your animal's habitat. Do not be disruptive, but try to learn as much as you can about how the animal exists in the wild. Take what you have learned and use it to help you deal with making big decisions, confronting difficult situations, and reaching your goals. You can draw on your animal's wisdom in everyday life, too, in your treatment of others and the earth. Pay close attention each time your animal appears to you in any form. Do your best to interpret the messages the animal seems to be sending. Remember, the messages will not be straightforward, since animals do not communicate the same way humans do, so you will have to do some deep thinking to understand. Here are some questions to ask yourself:   What emotions do you feel when the animal comes? Does the animal seem to be a sign of foreboding or comfort? Does the animal seem to be leading you in a certain direction? It is believed in shamanism that you gain a deeper connection with your spiritual animal by honoring it. In doing this, you are letting it know that its assistance in helping you with your life is appreciated. You can do this by standing up for the environment and animal rights and, in particular, the well being of your spirit animal. Remember that each time an animal species goes extinct, we lose the wisdom of that animal.
Summary: Learn about your animal. Apply your animal's wisdom to your own life. Be open to messages. Honor your animal.

Include a copy of any certifications or degrees that you have as well as an updated copy of your resume. Place these documents at the end of your portfolio in case potential clients want to know about where you went to school, where you’ve worked, and what your certifications are. If you have any reviews or references, include them on the very last page of your portfolio. It won’t come up all the time, but it’s good to have proof that you’re a responsible and adept designer should a potential client ask. You can include 2-3 professional references as well in case any freelance work comes along. Compile your images on a flash drive and take it to a print shop or bookmaker. Explain that you’re creating an interior design portfolio and work with the print expert to lay the images and text out in a layout that looks right to you. Once you’re happy with the layout, pay to have 3-5 copies of your portfolio printed.  This may cost $40-100 depending on the options you choose, but the finished product will look incredible! Keep it simple when it comes to the cover. A black leather cover with your name on the front will work just fine. The focus should be on what’s inside, not outside! Keep the digital copy of the layout in case you ever need to have additional copies printed. Instead of paying to get the portfolio printed, you can print the images out on high-end paper and have the pages laminated. Use a hole puncher or slide the images into protective sleeves and place them in a binder. Be sure to keep this portfolio in a safe location so that you don’t need to do make it a second time! This is more cost effective than having the portfolio professionally printed, and it’s a great option if you want to go with a more DIY, authentic option. Stuff 5-10 business cards inside a pocket somewhere so that you can pull them out a moment’s notice. This is also key if you plan on attending any job fairs so that you can hand out your contact information quickly. As a designer, make sure that your business cards reflect your design philosophy. A simple black and white card with an elegant typeface is great if you’re a more modern or minimalistic designer, for example.

Problem: Article: Your personality is the most important thing to work on, if you want to get people to enjoy being around you, but that doesn't mean that more superficial things should be ignored completely. Especially if you stink. If you want to be fun to be around, make sure you practice basic hygiene so others can stand to be in your presence.  Shower at least 4-5 times a week and change your clothes regularly. Change your socks and underwear every day. Wash your face, under your arms, and your hair regularly. Brush your teeth twice a day. . First impressions matter. If you're a 20 year old with an 8 year old's bowl cut, it's likely that you could be turning some people off of you before they even get a chance to know you. Get a haircut and learn to style your hair in a way that flatters your features and rounds out your face. Even if you go for an unkempt rockstar hair look, you've got to comb it every now and then. Nobody will want to hang out with you if you've got spiderweb growing in there. . While you don't need to wear what's popular, what's expensive, or what other people are wearing, it's true that you'll feel confident and happy if you're wearing clothes that make you feel confident and happy. That confidence will rub off on other people and make you fun to be around.  There's no one cool way to wear clothes, and what's cool will totally depend on who you are, how old you are, and your own sense of style. You can look cool wearing thrift store clothes or wearing clothes from the mall. Pick a style that makes you feel good. If you feel better and more confident when you rock a hoodie and skater shoes, do it. If you feel confident when you dress up, start dressing up every day. If you can't live without your Levi's, get five pair that match. . Develop a healthy interest in making your body work for you, in ways that make you proud. If you respect your body, people will see that you're a person worthy of being around. Find a physical activity that you enjoy and try to get in shape, as much as possible.  Not everybody has to play sports, or be cut rock climbers, but try to find something physical that you enjoy doing. Try doing free running, or skateboarding, or hiking, if you don't like traditional team-based sports. While it might seem like unhealthy vices like smoking, drugs, or alcohol can help you make friends, they won't help you keep friends in the long term, especially if you develop a problem with substance addiction. You want to be around people who have your best interest in mind, not people who want to screw it up. Practice healthy habits. . Nobody has a perfect body, or feels comfortable all day every day. But if you want people to enjoy being around you, try to put your self-consciousness and reservations about your body in the backseat and get comfortable being who you are. When you're young, it can be hard to figure out who exactly you are. Are you the kind of kid who picks up a guitar and dons a jean jacket and never takes it off? Are you the kind of kid who wears polo shirts and hangs out with the football team? Are you the kind of kid who games? There doesn't have to be a single answer to this question, and the more you're honest with yourself about your interests, your likes and dislikes, the more confident you'll be, and the more easily you'll be able to find friends who like you and want to be with you. Just because something is popular doesn't make it good. You don't have to be any particular way to fit in. If you love football and Magic: The Gathering equally, rep both at the same time. Be yourself.
Summary:
Practice good hygiene. Get a flattering haircut Wear flattering clothes Be healthy Be comfortable in your own skin Know yourself.
