Reflective Essay: The Short Term Consequences

Improved Essays
The short-term consequences were unheard because at the time all I saw was blood and anger, however I felt like my back was against the wall and I had to show my rage somehow and by going up to that woman in the parking lot I needed to step back and assess what I really would have done if it wasn’t for the tranquility from my friend and the police officers hotline. Overall there was a small window for my to react in and I had nothing besides revenge on my mind however I was proud that I didn’t do something stupid such as slashing their tires or keying the truck because that would have put me in a bad spot in the long term. Executive planning is always something that we take for granted and we don’t realize what a gift it is to have control …show more content…
Calling multiple other friends they have in common asking them to confirm if he is always like that which they did was more hurtful and eye-opening because I didn’t want to believe it for the moment but everyone she called seemed to give another story of how he just runs his mouth to anyone and everyone trying to be funny. It was not funny to me, instead, it infuriated me provoking me to do actions that I would regret later but I didn’t care I wanted to give my piece of my mind to this low life who thought they were better than people, belittling other for their own satisfaction. I was disgusted and honestly I will never be satisfied until I can physically do something that would leave a mark on them for as long they live. Now I don’t want to actually be abusive to someone but when a 26-year-old person is acting the same way a child would and saying whatever comes to mind I believe actions must be taken to stop that and maybe just maybe then they will learn what it means that they are saying. People will always say things at the time to get a rise out of people hoping for to reconcile later, however, a reunion will only bring more controversy to the matter at hand is settled. I find satisfaction in making people realize the severity of what it is they have done so when something is undone I feel unhappy. In the short term people sometimes fail to …show more content…
People 's motives vary from good to bad so we shouldn’t be offended so easily because it could be a totally different scenario from their perspective however at times we don’t know how else to react to something because we have never faced such adversity in our lives and so we forget and don’t think clear so it becomes even harder to understand what we are initially mad at. Everyone else has had some tension in their lives in which they want to take out but tend some misplace their aggression at times and fall subject to criticism because they are unwanted by the people they are surrounded by. Everyone wants to be looked up to and be a leader but very few have the qualities required to be a leader. I want to reflect on myself as this paper demonstrates the hardships I have faced and how I look at a scenario and tell myself that it is okay to back down because we all make mistakes it about how to learn to be better afterward that really counts not the immediate response we get necessarily. I have no real hate towards anyone on this earth however at times I am flooded with emotion and lose sight of what I really stand for making me an angry man but if I can learn to accept people 's differences and tell myself that I am better than the way I am feeling I will be better off. So in my lifetime I can acknowledge how far I have come because

    During this summer session of ENGL101A, I have learned multiple ways to express myself through my writing. In fact, before signing up for this class, I did not know the proper way to compose an academic essay for a particular audience, and how to properly cite my sources. Nevertheless, after the short summer session, I am able to define my purpose and audience, analyze critically any piece of information, and write with proper citations and fewer grammatical errors with confidence. Through the short time of 5 weeks, I learned how to focus on my audience as well as how to define the purpose of my papers as academically as possible.…

    Upon reading DiAngelo & Sensoy there were five main points of concern addressed within the article. These topics had concern on the basis that the students coming into this course may more or less be unprepared and unwilling to open their minds up to this new material.

    Jed opened the front door of the 12Bar and gazed outside. Dark brown river water quietly and urgently filled the streets around the bar, tuning it into its own private island. The view reminded him of the “big flood” from eight years ago. That flood had devastated most of the area, but somehow had left the 12Bar intact. When Jed purchased the bar six months ago, the former owners assured him saying, “…that was a five-hundred year flood, it will never happen again in your lifetime.”…

    Learning to write When I attended elementary school, part of the curriculum was penmanship. There was a certain segment of instruction dedicated to penmanship rather than writing. We were given large sheets of oat colored paper with three parallel lines widely spaced. The alphabets were used to print and write in cursive using the midpoint, and upper lines for capital letters. The handwriting grades were based on neatness and readability.…

    Writing has been my talent since grade school; I couldn’t sing, or dance but I could write, or so I thought. Then, I entered high school and realized that writing required a lot more than it did in middle school. The brisk pace and advanced comprehension skills required for my English three AP course caused my grades to suffer. I have struggled with college level essay writing tremendously, but through hard-work I have been able to write with more ease and finesse than ever before.…

    Through the past semester, I believe my writing has strengthened in skill and individual direction. In a similar manner, as a college freshman learns independence during their first year on campus by living away from home with less guidance, so has my writing skills. Whereas, in high school, our teachers provided us with a uniformed writing prompt with a clear argument or thesis. This semester has provided me with the skill in writing towards a specific audience with a clear position. Through this process, I was rewarded with the opportunity in learning to incorporate my voice in my writing, instead of simply to questions that were posed on a sheet of paper.…
