I have not been thinking differently but I am surely endeavoring. I have an arduous time changing things about myself so at this point I am just gradually endeavoring. After reading these two chapters I endeavor to disunite my emotions from my thinking due to the fact that they incline to get me into an abundance of trouble. Prior to making decisions, I stop and notice first if I am allowing my emotions to get in the way. I ascertain no emotions are tied to my decisions just so at the end I get a good outcome.…
I believe that I will be comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I will have a certain level of flexibility in functioning with different group of people. This is because my most of the profile dimensions are in the middle of the extreme ends. This means that I can easily adjust in any kind of environment. On comparing my Cultural Profile with my home country's plot, I found that there is a very close relation between them.…
My Culture I am a mix of two cultures. I am half Mexican and half American. Even though I am half Mexican, my spanish isn’t good. I can’t speak spanish fluently and I tend to strudder a lot. My spelling is pretty bad too.…
When I was younger, I always kept a book by me. Books accompanied me everywhere, to the mall and to my relatives houses. I was called a bookworm, and still called it today. I’ve read books, and collected them. I have over 100 books in my room, and have a library in my house.…
“Shes coming back right?” a baffled 7 year old asks in response to the appalling news of her mother’s death. A vibrant imagination is accompanied by a crushing pain of reality that trails behind it ; I discovered this when I heard the words “no” . 10 years later, that conversation lingers in my head and holds not a cacophonous nor euphonious sound, but instead holds the neutral tone of reality, an alarm . As routine , at 6a.m., I hear a melodious alarm followed by the pitter-patter of my aunt who is getting ready for work.…
I wrote a book. One, where if it were a movie I would not be old enough to watch it without an adult. No, you can not buy it at Barnes & Nobles or your local bookstore or anywhere books are sold. But I would gladly give you a printed 8 x 11, arial, black and white, 5 font size, unstapled copy in exchange for a Jackson. A little more if you want it signed.…
Through community service projects, I learned that I could be a contributing member of my community and that I could choose to have an impact on the world around me. I found that these lessons extended into many aspects of my life, and that they were…
One’s identity is who they truly are as a person. People don’t define you. you define yourself. You define yourself with your actions, personality, and the roles you play in other people’s lives. At this point in my life I’m still trying to figure out who I am.…
I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…
My experience with the after school book club at Madison Elementary today was an exciting yet my patience was tested by a seven year old little boy named Jose. Today I was excited to see if my group would enjoy the book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” due to the fact everyone agreed they enjoy reading adventure books. Consequently, one of my group members, Jose, had already read the book and watched the movie and let the whole group know it was “boring.” Already bored he instantly lost interest in the book and the group and was making it known by distracting the other group members around him. Usually his partner in crime, Gilbert, agrees with him and goes along with him but this time was different and he ignored his friend because he was actually…
At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
My Work Thus Far Since I am in the Health & Human Services Institute, and this being my first year at Gulfport High, I have never had the opportunity to acquire any personal accolades as a CAB student. However, in the past I have been acknowledged for a handful of achievements I happen to take much pride in. A number of these achievements I speak of are somewhat personal, and may have only been recognized by my self conscious. Nevertheless I plan on sharing each of them with you.…
Throughout this project I was able to improve the lives of the children I worked with through my service. I was able to build strong relationships with the children and make an impact on their lives. I personally was able to grow in many of my interpersonal skills, and leadership skills throughout the course. I am so grateful that I was able to experience this eye opening service, and I truly believe that I have made a positive impact on the lives of the children that I have worked to challenge, develop, and improve.…
The service projects I have completed this semester have contributed towards my personal growth in many ways. By taking on the opportunities provided during the course, I have been able to further embrace my civic responsibility, professional development, and social understanding. By participating in a variety of service projects, I have gained the knowledge of understanding how important it is that I do my part in helping others in my community. Many of us come from the same area, and have had family here for many years. I believe it is our responsibility as citizens to help better the community around us, not only for ourselves, but for future generations as well.…
The bell was about to ring to signal the end of lunch. I had already walked over to stand in front of the exit so I could be one of the first ones to leave. There were already a few people standing there, the type of people that like to be early to class, but I was just impatient, and didn’t want to wait behind anybody. More people had slowly started coming and getting in line, waiting for the bell. The clock was right above me.…
