Around the star, I indicated that I am middle class, own my own home, and am a white male. Even though my birthday was not until January 17. I listed my age as 46.

Dates are Important
When you take information off the Internet, you need to pay attention to dates. For example, if you were asked to list my age, the correct answer is not 46.
On the first page of this tutorial, you learned that I did this star diagram the first week of January 2004. The image on this page is also dated 2004. Although this page has been updated since it was first created in 2004, I have not changed the information on the diagram.
If an Internet site does not list the date it was last updated or when the material was produced/written, be skeptical of the information included on it.
