It was seventh grade when I officially recognized what it was that made me feel so disconnected from the rest of my peers. This was during the time most kids were growing into their bodies and finding discomfort in how they viewed themselves. I fell into that category in a way many people can’t say they relate. The hatred I felt for my body sprung from something a bit different than the typical middle school bodily insecurities. I grew in the opposite direction from which I knew my gender was.…

When enveloped in personal culture and ethnicity, it can be difficult for one to recognize the characteristics that it has. Often, it is not until one steps back from their own experiences and viewpoint and considers their life in retrospect that the events come to the surface. This truth is applicable when discussing the experience of a Caucasian female in the United States. Although white women experience the pressure of gender roles, they are rarely challenged by their race in a way that makes life more difficult. Accomplishments and failures are rarely attributed to the race of a white person (McIntosh, 1988).…

I hold stories and experience in high regard. So to elaborate on what I think wisdom is, I think back to my most recent job. I worked with three other fellows for the S.S. Badger as auto-attendants. My co-workers will be known as Mr. H, Mr. D, and Mr. Y. All three of us are the same age, but that is where much of the similarities end. Mr. Y was a super intelligent person.…
The phrases “two are better than one” or “a group can achieve more than an individual” are something I hear often. However, the diversity of opinions, cultures, and ideas among the members in a group can cause unconformity and conflicts. Working in a group means that individuals have to cooperate with each other to achieve a certain goal, despite the differences that may exist. In order to get a better understanding of the influence of diversity in the workplace, I interviewed Luis Overcast, the director of an English school in Mexico composed mainly by people from Mexico and the United States, including a couple of Chinese teachers. The positive outcome that the students get from learning about different cultures is remarkable, said Luis.…
Over the years, I have been told by multiple new employees that I am always serious at work and often they do not feel comfortable approaching me. I would not characterize myself as always being serious but instead focused on the tasks that need my attention, adherence to schedule and a strong desire to meet deadlines. In order to improve upon my approachability I need to change a few habits that I have let fester and grow.…
