Integration Merging personal centered therapy and the concept of being Christ like would be what Jesus would do in response to healing mankind. While I recognize humanistic psychology focuses on behavior and PCT focuses on self, I believe having the ability to integrate both therapies from a Christian stand point would be effective. Scripture encourages us to have a “human” mindset to life by building up our neighbor. Ephesians 4:11-16 ESV states, “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the…

If you have read my past work at all, you know I am beyond passionate about helping businesses succeed. I personally believe that in order to any business to find sustained success it has to be led by a person with a go-get-em attitude and the iron will to work as long as it takes to achieve their goals. One such individual you may or may not of heard of is Emanuel “Manny” Hernandez. This Puerto Rican businessman has achieved more than he ever thought possible. I recently had the pleasure of…

Unlike many students who take their education for granted, there are a wide variety of children who are not even given the opportunity to develop their education. We face the troubling fact that students from across the world are dropping out rapidly due to several different but concerning circumstances. Fortunately, after an overview of the article, “Former High School Dropout Joins Peace Corps, Helps New Dropouts” by Vicky Hallett there is still an iota of hope out there. The author sends…

A hero is not somebody who fights crimes or defeats the antagonist of a story, in fact that is a superhero. A superhero is a fictional man or woman who has powers that are unknown to man kind. A hero is a normal human being who goes about their daily lives just like everyone else, except for the fact that they make a change in peoples lives. In the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” King is standing up for is believe about segregation and racism and how he will follow through with his plans in direct…

In Andre Dubus’s rough, unadulterated memoir “Townie”; he accounts in detail of the despair and violence that emerges from a childhood of poverty and parental absence. Dubus speaks of his main conflict, an internal one that tempts him, which is the power of violence and its hold on him and his struggle to break free. He speaks of violence, his desire to hurt someone, yet he rarely resorts to the actual act. When he does, however, he reacts full force, flat out, no holds barred. The author…

Sir winston churchill once stated, “ Never give up on something that you can 't go a day without thinking about. The subject of High school dropout is an important topic that needs to be discussed as it continues to be an issue many face. In America, adults ages 30-39, who never completed high school were earning 15,700 a year less than colleagues with high school diplomas. There are many negative outcomes that result from students dropping out of highschool and not graduating.there are many…

This semester we have read many essays, stories, and poems on the “self”. The question is what do all of these writings mean? What did the authors want us to take from their writings? I believe they were wanting to give us a road map to learn what it means to be self-reliant, self-secure, and also to stand up to injustices that we see in the world, or at least our new world. The authors we have studied in this class wanted to write to give America its own identity separate from Europe. There are…

I have a quote that I want you to read and then tell me if you know who wrote it: “Enjoying what we do is not always a feeling of enjoyment; it is sometimes the gritty resolution a man or woman shows in doing what must be done — perhaps with inner dread and yet without whimpering self-pity. I like the phrase, “without whimpering self-pity.” It sounds much more dramatic and important than the phrase, “without complaining.” I also like the phrase, “gritty resolution.” Was there anything that you…

The entry after that, was the day he decided to drop out of High School, to disappear into nothingness, and blames everyone for his misery, vowing justice that only God himself can dole out. Yeah, there’s a scary pattern here. More pages we sifted through were mostly his talking about family, and his anger and frustration towards his former classmates, years after high school ended. There was a large gap in entries, every few weeks he would start his dark bible verses, then every few months,…

In all honesty when we were assigned Tuesdays with Morrie and heard a little summary of what the book held inside, I quickly made the assumption that it was a “useless project” or a “waste of time”. I began to read the book with a totally uninterested attitude and even though the book may not be my favorite genre, it really grabbed my attention whether I liked to admit it or not. The wisdom and insight Morrie sought to inform people on and the inspiring outlook he had on life stirred in myself a…
