Vector PaperUsing our textbook chapter and the supplemental reading, Seven Vectors, by Chickering and Reisser, and any other relevant resource, choose a vector from Chickering and Reissers theory and write a 3 page, double-spaced paper applying it to your own development. Feel free to write in the first person if you wish, but make sure to explain the vector briefly and systematically make explicit connections between your own experience and what Chickering and Reisser say about that domain of development.
