Dysthymi A Personal Summary And Analysis

Decent Essays
One of the challenges I have encountered was dysthymia. I seldom talked to people and preferred isolation. Notwithstanding my reluctance, I had decided to follow my doctor’s advice and meet more people since I understood that connections were essential in this globalized world. During spring break, I volunteered in Gulf of Georgia Cannery as a receptionist and received the opportunity to talk to many strangers. I was responsible for introducing the museum to visitors for six hours straight everyday. Now I am more skilled at communicating with others and resist less to strangers. I understood that despite not having a preference for large social circles, humans need to practise as the society advances as part of evolution. I have acquired the

    We all know those people that can not peel themselves from their technology, whether it’s the CEO of a major business or a teenage girl, they walk with their faces lit with the screaming brightness of a phone.

    Before attending Wilmington Early College High School (WECHS), I was not satisfied with my personality, nor was I happy with the way I was perceived by other people. Most would think that I should have been confident because in middle school I was in the AIG program. However, I never truly felt satisfied with myself. I always got good grades, but I never felt like I earned good grades. Although I was making straight As and Bs, it was always relatively easy to earn those marks in middle school.…

    When it came to be time for lunch, I remember a voice in my head scolding me for not attempting to make conversation; It was most likely my mother’s voice reminding me to try to make new friends. I began introducing myself and asking them about themselves, and I was ecstatic to find that they were outgoing and, throughout the rest of the day, they tried several times to include me and help me get situated with my new environment. Apart from certain times where a few would openly mock my…

    I am Carlos Lopez. I am an intellectual, artistic, and socially challenged person. When I was at the age of three, I was diagnosed with asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism that affects one’s communication and social skills. There were times when I would engage in a conversation with someone and not know what to say to them; I usually wait for them to say a topic and go on from there, but it doesn’t always work because they usually say things that i don’t know about. At school, i am always in class and do enjoy talking to people there because I either know them or, since I see them everyday, I make an effort to know them.…

    Growing up, my parents were never really around because they were always at work. I was raised by my grandma, and was never taught the importance of healthy eating. In elementary and middle school, I ate a great deal of unhealthy Italian food because my grandparents owned a restaurant, and when I didn’t have food from the restaurant, I would love to eat microwavable corn dogs (I would eat like 4 in one sitting). Even though I ate a lot of junk, I was very active. I played almost every team sport, and loved it.…

    The experience that I would use to display all of these personal qualities would be my first semester at Miami University. I chose this experience because it has taught me to become comfortable within the uncomfortable and create an environment where I am able to adapt quickly to my surroundings. My first semester at college has made me become more independent, willing to push outside of my comfort zones, open-minded, and able to persevere through isolation. Throughout my first semester at Miami University, I’ve learned to become more independent, through most of the daily responsibilities that I hold.…

These different assessments contributed to a deeper understanding of my skills and personality. In what follows, I discuss my reactions to the different career assessments that were presented during our class.…

    Gardening was a ‘forced’ hobby for a good portion of my childhood. Since elementary school, I worked with my dad in our back yard; I would dig holes, carry bags of manure, and plant flowers and trees. I complained that it would be easier to go to the store and buy a bag of blackberries instead of toiling in the sun for hours to achieve the same thing. I never imagined that I’d end up gardening for fun. Every year, my brother and I would collect the fruits of our labor; every year, I’d appreciate my efforts more and more.…

    Gibbs model of reflection 1 Introduction College life turned out to be much different than what I expected and I was not ready for it even when I thought I definitely was. I was raised in a closely-knit family comprising of my father, mother and younger brother and me. All my life, till the day I left home to start a new chapter in my life, my parents had monitored my every move and essentially spoon-fed me because they wanted the best for and therefore I never really understood what the word ‘freedom’, that my other friends would talk about, meant. From making food, to managing money, my parents had done everything for me to the point that all I had to worry about was managing my studies, in which they also aided me by paying for private tuitions so I could clear the doubts that I had. Life was simple.…
