Introduction This is my first journal entry and it will be about how well I am adjusting to life in terms of well-being, balancing your priorities, developing my identity, and coping with stress with what I have learned thus far in my psychology course. Adjusting to life in terms of well-being Life! I don’t think that no one person can truly say that they are truly happy and satisfied with their lives to the point of them not wanting to make any more changes or improvements. For me I’m trying…

I come from a fairly large family, I have family in most places. Growing up I realized that the adults in my family all believed the same thing. As a young child I thought that the reason they all believed it was because it was right. When a large group of people, especially your family, believe something is right or wrong, then in your young mind they must be the right thing to believe. We never expect for our family to be wrong. But I quickly learned that it wasn 't that they were right or…

The Girl Lost Everything You would never think that the one person you thought that was always supposed to be in our lives would just give up so easy. Especially when you’re their own daughter. Maybe one day he will realize what he did to me. Honestly I am Thankful for the difficulties he put me through, he has shown me exactly who I DO NOT want to be. I always think to myself now a days thinking he wasn’t using much discretion when he did this to me. You would think i’m a very gregarious…

Growing up people use to always tell me, "be careful of the company you keep." Being that I was so young at the time, I didn 't quite understand what that meant. As time passed and I got a little older, I began to understand a little more and became aware of who I hung around. I was nice to everyone, including people I didn 't know but sometimes that 's not a good thing. I 've learned that you can 't allow everybody to come into your home, even if you’re related. It all started when I decided…

Personal Wholeness, according to my definition, is not a specific destination. It is a process full of steps we must all take in order to better ourselves in every aspect of our lives. In the Bible, being whole is described as “Shalom” which means completeness, health, peace, welfare, rest, harmony etc. We are called as Christians to live our lives to the absolute fullest (John 10:10) and in order to do this, we must take every area in our live into account when trying to move closer to gaining…

Annie Lucas HON 1700 Personal Narrative Essay 22 September 2017 My entire life had led up to this very moment, one that I had painted much differently in my mind. I knew that it was this day that I would forever step out of the dark, lonely closet and accept myself for who I am. I promised that I would never deny myself the right to live life as my true self ever again. However, this giant leap into freedom wasn’t so relieving as I had thought it would be. My world started to crumble around me,…

I was never like this. My views on life, or what I see when I look around me. It was never like this. I am who i am because of the trials and tribulations i believe i was meant to undergo. When i thought i was by myself, i felt as though i was suffocating with no one to pull me up from what i thought i would never recover from. when i was younger i was never religious. i was raised in a christian home, but i never acquired the true faith or beliefs that my parents had. I always felt as though i…

There are many people who enjoy blood and guts; surgeons, ER doctors and nurses, paramedics. While some may think this makes a person unique, and I would have to agree with them. It takes a certain kind of human being to enjoy the insides of another human being. I would consider myself as one of the unique individuals who enjoys blood and guts and all things medicine, with a twist. For many many years now I have had a goal and a dream career. This dream career has been the focal point, the…

There are many things that provoke people to change. People can change in an instant and people can change gradually. Some people may think change is impossible, but it isn’t. People can change if they meet friends who show them another side that they didn’t know or you can change because you saw something on television. The world around you can promote you to change in ways you didn’t think was possible. Seeing someone who doesn’t have as much as you can cause you to help them. When changing…

She rose carefully, so not to wake her siblings. Their ears were like rats, small and all hearing. She held the sacred novel close to her body, as if hoping it would sink into her chest and become part of her. Slowly and carefully she navigated through the maze of beds until she reached the freedom of the opening between the walls. She stood over the staircase, she hated stairs almost as much as she hated walking, often betrayed by her feet. She prefered the sensation of floating. She was…
