An Honest Mistake

all have flaws, luckily in our day of age our mistakes are not branded upon us. Hester Pynee, main character in the Scarlet Letter had to walk around with an A on her at all times because of one mistake she made. Hester had an affair and happened to get pregnant. Everyone then looked at her as if she had killed someone. She had to live with that mistake for the rest of her life and it was engraved on her headstone when she died. I have made many mistakes in my lifetime, and if I had to pick one…

In life, everyone makes mistakes, it’s just that some mistakes are bigger than others. Everyone has had this feeling at least one time in their life and in the story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and the song “Apologize” by Timbaland, this feeling is the central idea of their piece. In “All Summer in a Day,” the children in the story dispirit a girl named Margot because they feel she is different than them and the kids end up devastating Margot.

At my practicum, there are several opportunities for a counselor to make a mistake. However, the mistakes can be easily corrected, and most of the time the person on the other end of the phone or computer will not be phased by a slip up. The forgiveness of the mess up does not make it okay, because as social workers we should strive to always provide the best services for our clients. When I think of decisions I have made that were flawed, I immediately think of a chat session I had last week…

besides who I cited, albeit incorrectly. I could not believe that I allowed myself to make such a simple but catastrophic mistake. How is it that I came to the decision that the reference should be cited it parenthesis when clearly it should have been quoted? How could I put myself and my team in this position? How would this have impacted the supervisor of the team? How was the mistake caught and why wasn’t it caught sooner? Will this ruin my career? What do I do now? What steps are to be…

“Success is how high you bounce when you hit the bottom,” (George S. Patton). We all face through hardships, failures, and cause mistakes once in a while because no one is perfect, but what makes us as success is overcoming the struggles we face. I have overcome many throughout my life, being born with a cleft palate, constantly moving, and my first year of college experience at Texas Tech University. Moving to the land of opportunity with no background or fluency of English at the age of 7,…

Putting Sanchez on probation will allow him to develop a better understanding of his mistake while also making him a more effective employee. In addition, the TSA will not lose an employee who is dedicated to the mission, vision, and core values of the organization. If the O’Reilly decides to fire Sanchez, this sets a precedent that will likely lead to the termination of other employees for making any mistakes. It is possible that other highly dedicated employees are fired. The second pro is…

store… we are welcoming. Don’t refuse that toilet to anyone, especially someone who really needs some welcome and not another person putting them down.” [80] Gill then understands that he made a mistake, and works to push himself past his old, prejudiced ways. His old self wouldn’t have been able to see the mistake and wouldn’t have made an attempt to find the homeless man and apologize. Similarly, when Gill was trying to close the store, a Guest was still sitting at a table. This Guest had…

see if there taking people for granted, not showing gratitude or stepping on others to get ahead. Also the RA’s should have humility and the willingness to admit mistakes which is another important aspect of being an RA.
