someone told me that, all I could see was my body thinned and toned, my face pure and markless, my smile glorious and grand, my life happy and fulfilling. I knew they meant I should be thankful for my life, but I wasn’t. For a very long time, depression ate me alive. And I loved it, because I thought that was the only thing that desired me, craved me, wanted me. My freshmen year of high school was a blur because I…
The Jeep car is important to me because it was the first car that I grew fond of, at the age of six. That’s when everything changed and I finally knew what I wanted to become when I grow up, an automotive mechanic. Now currently I am in the automotive shop at PCTI and learning to be the best of the best. Basically, everyone that knows me, are aware that I’m in love with cars and no one can change my mind about it. I’m also very known for my tallness, which i used in my everyday life to help…
Fresno, United States on August 12th, 2012 after 20 hours flight all the war from China, feeling sore and ache all over. When I came out from the terminal, the bright sunlight made me squint, the fresh air made me feel relaxed, I told myself “It is a new start!” Some Chinese students picked me up in the airport and drove me to atrium to check in. I felt my lips adhered and I couldn 't get them apart. I was so nervous that I cannot talk to resident assistants. I just nodded my head, signed…
juggling act for me at this point in my college career. But the busiest day of them all in my own personal life is Thursday. Sometimes I do not know how will make it threw my, repetitive, boring and draining, and busy Thursday. My morning is pretty repetitive nothing really changes for me from morning to morning to but I prefer it that way. My day starts off with me getting out of bed at about 8 am for my English class at 10am. I get in the shower and get dressed for school this takes me about…
the words I’m about to read to the entire class. I keep looking around the class at all the posters that are telling me how to break down the sentence and paragraph. It was in this class that first made me feel ashamed and embarrassed of my struggle to read and write. I was in this class full of student who found the same subject hard, but my approach to this situation was different. My goal was to improve and be out of this class, everyone else seamed not to have a single worry about being in…
be able to focus more on the now. It believe that when we sit and worry about what could’ve been or what could be, we aren’t really enjoying what we have right in front of us. A theme that could help me gain a more “in the now” perspective is self-assurance. People with self-assurance feel confident in their decision making skills, and they know that at the end of the day they have done all that they can do. This would help me because I wouldn’t have to second guess myself on if I’m going to…
He was very nice, and excited to help me as I pursued to know more information. I assured him that I only wanted to know some information about SLUR, Daniel then chuckled and agreed with my request. During the interview I asked him many questions. I began by asking him, could you describe one of your typical workdays? He replied: “A typical workday for me is coming in, setting up, sitting in the back or walking around asking and observing to see…

Teachers and social workers have two different lens in which they see a situation. If I was the practitioner instead of the client I would have seen red flags before the client would have approached me. First is that I would have inquired as into why the student barely showed up to classes. If I was the practitioner, I would have created opportunities for the client and I to meet individually and acknowledge that I am there as a support. Social workers…
This quote serves as a reminder to that fact. It is through prayer that we can discover the will of God in our lives. We need to spend time daily with the Lord. Without constant communication with God, we cannot hope to get closer to Him. Ministry is about helping others get closer to God. We either introduce someone to God or help them along the road to knowing Him. The only logical way for us to accomplish that task which God called us to do, is for us to get closer to him through…
