Body The emotional intelligence psych test taught me a lot about myself. I realized that based on the results from the Emotional Intelligence test, I had a lot of self-reflection that I needed to do. Seeing the score of the sixty-nine led me to believe that maybe I am not as emotional in tune as I thought I was. Through this test, I was able to learn a lot about what emotional intelligence means in a variety…

Setting different goals for myself isn’t a new concept for me. I have been doing this ever since my second year of wrestling, in the ninth grade. My wrestling coach gave us an assignment to make different goals that we wanted to accomplish through our wrestling carriers so I did, making my number one goal, “An undefeated season.” I worked so hard from there on out to accomplish my goal and my senior year I had the satisfaction of completing this goal. Unfortunately I did not apply this to school…
Freud’s enduring contributions is the idea that an individual’s personality is composed of three parts, the id, superego, and ego. The id, which resides in the unconscious mind, is driven by only one thing: the desire for personal pleasure, "me, me, me." For instance, if you have an urge to satisfy your hunger but have no cash, you may simply steal a hotdog from a street vendor. The superego, which mostly resides in the unconscious, is the source of what we call our conscience. It is the part…
VILLANOVA ESSAY Saint Augustine said, "Lord, let me know myself, let me know you." Describe a relationship that has helped you to know yourself better. Jennifer Weiner wrote, “Divorce isn 't such a tragedy. A tragedy 's staying in an unhappy marriage and teaching your children the wrong things about love.” As I have grown older, this is a statement that I have learned to be true. My parents got divorced when I was a very little girl. I do not remember anything about the fighting, the lawyers,…
English Composition I taught me a lot about myself, including how to be a better college student, through the process of writing. At the beginning of the year, I was not very excited about having to write argumentative papers. This is because I did not care enough about the assigned topics to have an opinion. But, I did learn a lot that I would not have known otherwise from having to research information about the topics I chose to write about. For example, in paper #2, I wrote about the niqab and…
wasn't running for my life; I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today. Alice had said there was a good chance we would both die here. Perhaps the outcome would be different if she weren't trapped by the brilliant sunlight; only I was free to run across this bright, crowded square. And I couldn't run fast enough. So it didn't matter to me that we were surrounded by our extraordinarily dangerous enemies. As the clock began to toll out the hour, vibrating…
In this Intro to Diversity class I learned about the world around me and a lot about myself. I was able to see things in a different light and really think about my views on others. Some of the views that I had going in to the class were changed slightly and some were strengthened. With all I learned there are things that I want to work on and improve in myself. Before you can work on changing the world you have to start with yourself. This class was very beneficial to my life and will be beneficial…
