I communicated ineffectively and unproductively (Wood, 2013). I not only hurt my daughter’s feelings, I hurt our future relationship for a long time. On the other hand, some may say I did well in practicing tough love. The only problem is that in my culture, such practices are not validated as appropriate. I could not live with myself for the condemnation of the words I had spoken to my daughter. I still feel to this day that I owe her an apology to relieve her of any condemnation of spirit and…
mean that this book is full of crazy surprises that life will throw at you! I have learned quite a few life lessons throughout my time reading this novel. This novel is the best book out there to read, some might say they do not like it, only because they can relate little to much of what happens and it hits hard if it hits home. My life changed by reading “ The Perks of Being a Wallflower” because it taught me a lesson on life, the best and worst way to deal with a situation, and how to cope…
to let you know, I'm also in high school so on top of crime fighting and normal life stuff, I also have tons of drama and homework. And with the whole superhero-is-just-an-average-teenage-girl-in-high school thing is already plenty of stress. So, as I have said before, I was born in the center of the sun. I don't really remember much of my childhood though. Of course I just forget the most I'm portant years of my life that make me who I am. All that I do remember is, family parties and holidays,…
My Parent’s Divorce Did you know that 41% of married couples with kids get a divorce? This was a 6-year-old me when everything changed. I’m not sure if it’s for the better or worse though. But we get to choose how our challenges shape us. In 2007 I was 6 years old and the best time of my life. I lived in Riceville, Iowa. I lived with my dad Jay, mom Mindy, and older sister Jordyn. I lived right by our babysitter, my best friend, and right by the library, too. The scariest night of my life. At…
Recker Mrs. Smith Biology- period 4 11 March 2017 Journal Entry- Day in the Life It is 9:30 P.M., and today has been a rough day. The first thought I had this morning was, ‘Will I have a good day or a bad day?’ Right after thinking that, I thought, ‘How will my Turner Syndrome diagnosis affect today?’ This, however, isn’t the first time thinking these thoughts. In fact, I ask myself these questions every day when I wake up. Every day, I struggle knowing I have a genetic disorder; Turner…

English 121 October 31, 2017 My Experience With Depression And Self Harm Mental illnesses more or less run in my family, so needless to say my childhood was a struggle. I never understood what was wrong with me. I couldn't get along with kids older than me because I was too immature, and couldn't hang out with kids younger than me because I was too smart. This led to me getting bullied a lot when I was in elementary/middle school and into the beginning of high school. My depression reached its…
It all started out on a summer day about two years ago, it was just a normal day just hanging out, playing video games and watching television at our friend’s house with nothing important do. We sat around for about an hour until we had finally decided on where we wanted to go get lunch. We decided we were going to go to Moe’s Southwest Grill and get a burrito. We head to Moe’s and we ordered our food, sat down and ate. After we ate our food we went back to my friend Mitchells house to do the…
on improving my overall health and fitness. For me, this includes staying active, eating right, drinking enough water, sleeping, and minimizing stress. 2. I would really like to improve my sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. This semester, none of my mornings start at the same time, so some days I get to sleep in a little bit. Knowing that I am able to sleep in means that I stay awake later, and I really do not get any extra sleep. 3. I think my lack of…
I just had a discussion the other day with my best friend / coworkers. The month of January was the worst. Her mom (who was a statistic ) passed away on my birthday from stage 4 colon cancer. We talked about when do you see your doctor about depression? Hence why I looked these statistics up. I work with medications and so many times, people are…
