to overcome these hindrances, and that now is the opportune moment, the perfect time! When I consider myself, where I’ve been, where I am, and where I’m headed, I am doing well. I know that success in life won’t be easy, but I vow to never give up improving myself until I am satisfied with who I am. This will take me developing higher self-esteem, and also being more merciful towards myself while not growing complacent and settling under the bar. I am looking forward to finishing school, and…
Improving Interpersonal Communication Over the course of these last five weeks in this class I have taken a variety of inventories and learned more about myself through them. The first one I did was to show growth throughout the course. In most of my scores for this assessment I grew from the first time I took it to the second time. I attribute this growth to time, this course, and the college learning and growth environment I am in currently. I do have to take into consideration that when I…
As long as I have been in school, doing homework, I have always been procrastinating. Especially when it comes to doing assigned readings. I would find myself leaving it all until the very last minute, and torturing myself the night before or morning of the exam. It’s not that I didn’t want to do the work, it was that I didn’t want to do it at that time. I would always seem to find something more interesting to do, such as browse various…
Since my 9th grade year (once I moved back to South Carolina in Columbia) to this current day I have struggled at school, at home, and with myself. I always had problems with teachers and grades and now I can finally admit that truth, I have gone through so much I could make you laugh, cry, be mad, be sad, and be happy all at once. I use to have a bad attitude and be mad at the world because of the type of person I was, I knew that I was lazy, had an attitude, a bad temper, and I did not care…
and create long lasting connections. Personally, I achieved the magis at a Health Sciences competition. I challenged myself to perfect every aspect of the competition, the challenge was to place first at the state level and to advance to the second round at the international…
surround myself with as well as realized my weaknesses when it came to relationships. To me, relationships are pointless. All you are ever going to need is yourself. Why have someone come into your life, if they are eventually going to hurt you. I understand that people must put themselves out there, and loneliness is a terrible feeling, but nothing is worse than not feeling good enough for the person that you thought felt you were everything and beyond to…
make tapa/kapa from a scratch. To be honest, a night before this morning, I got some trouble with my boyfriend, and we are at the crisis of breakup. Thus, my mind wasn’t clear. My heart was pumping fast, I regretted what I have done, and I hated myself. I actually did not want to go outside. However, I woke up early sunday morning (around 5am).…
was a great and unique experience. At the beginning of this class, I felt that it would be hard for me to express myself and find my voice during the process group. I have always been a shy and reserved person when it comes to talk about my experiences and feelings with new people that I do not trust. It was hard to start sharing everything with the group, but I was proud of myself when I found my voice and start trusting my classmates during this process. Last semester I was feeling sad…
of a challenge. I pushed myself all around to be a better…
grieving from a terrible loss created a depressed lifestyle. I endured some situations that many people could never relate to. I wasn’t happy. My grades slipped, I pushed away my friends and I lost myself. These tragedies in my life truly taught me how to become a better person and do things for myself and not other people. Before my freshman year started; my best friend, partner in crime, and cousin was diagnosed with leukemia. My Cousin was so optimistic and determined to fight her battle and…
