Come to Me

“It’s not the plan that’s important, it’s the planning,” Dr. Gramme Edward’s words helped me realize how the process of planning helps to set a goal to work towards while the plan to get there is just a rough sketch. I want to use this life priorities paper as an opportunity to learn more about myself and use it as a rough guideline to achieve my aims and goals in the years to come. For as long as I can remember, I recall my parents, my teachers or my mentors, emphasizing on the fact that…

Wellness can come in many different forms. It can come in being physically, mentally, socially, or spiritually well. Often times people will excel in one area while they lack in some way or another in the other areas. For true health you need to be able to find a good balance that fits with you and your lifestyle. Here at South Dakota State we have a lot of different tools and outlets we can use in order to stay healthy. Ranging from exercising in the wellness center to talking to a school…

Previous to starting my journey at the University of Colorado I knew that I enjoyed helping people, but I wasn’t so sure what degree would get me there. I began my studies with an idea that psychology could help me reach that goal. Every psychology course I took was more interesting than the last, and I was hooked, but I still wasn 't sure where this would take me and my goal of helping others. I had volunteered in high school, and so began looking for volunteer opportunities in Boulder. My…

imagine meeting. While I do see some of my friendships going that way, some of the friends that I met at the beginning of the year turned out to be the kind of friends that I wasn’t interested in keeping. I also thought coming here that I was going to come and immediately find a boy that I had feelings for, and I thought that I was going to fall in love or some gushy thing like that, kind of like you see in the movies, but that definitely hasn’t happened yet, and…

They provide me with information that help me become better and will help me in my career. After the interview I was more motivated to become a Clinical Social Worker. Victor comes from a dysfunctional family and bypassing this he has decided to become a social worker. His life experience has helped him decided to pursue the career Social worker. He has worked in several fields from Case, manager to home health care. He told me there is a big need for social workers. He recommends me several…

that reason, I have always felt like I could talk to her and come to her with all my problems since she always gives me great advice. If I have done something wrong, she has never showed me judgment. She is like a best friend to me because she is always there whenever I need help. She is there with me to share my happiness, my worries, and even my tears. Even when I have felt so down and almost lost, she’s the one person that can bring me back for any kind of depression. She knows all the right…

2014. Also, I had taken another English 100 course with a different instructor. For many reasons, I immediately dropped that class in the first week of the semester. I don’t remember the instructor’s name, but right away, I knew his class wasn’t for me. His technique of teaching didn’t fit with my learning style, and his assignments were getting too repetitive. I wasn’t learning anything that would be helpful for my future classes. After, that semester ended, I decided to retake English 100…

groups to force myself in engaging in conversation, and by the end of next month I want to try to find another DBT class. The class will help me continue to develop good communication skills, so that my social interrelations are less awkward. I know I will have a lot of trouble on working on Respect for Others, because I’m not being disrespectful to those around me, and I’m treating them as I would want to be treated. I can’t say that I will work on being less blunt, because I was how I was…

wisdom by the end of day. HELP has an Active Range Of Motion Program, I get certified to go around and do simple exercises with my patients. I didn’t realize at the time how much of an impact I was making on the patients or the impact they were having on me. I found myself modifying exercises, setting goals for the patients to achieve the next time I saw them, figuring out ways to get them engaged and more into the simple exercises, I found myself being their biggest fan and cheerleader. It…

trade those goods with another tribe who had plenty of corn and cotton to give away. This part of history really captured my attention when I was younger and I still find the idea intriguing. I think this concept is brilliant and makes more sense to me than the similar…
