Help desk

encouraged me to explore new ideas and values in order to make an effort to excel through my education and community. Eventually I become the person that if someone needed help I was able to assist them in any way I could whether it was here at Quinnipiac, home, or just hanging out friends. I believe that my resourcefulness and capability to help another find their path is the real strength in helping others adjust to a new environment and discover new ways to cultivate their personal…

The two weaknesses that I am fully aware of and take steps to work on every day are my communication with others, I tend to be shy at first, and asking for help. I have come a very long way in my life with how shy I am. When I was in kindergarten I would not even answer a question in class, when called on I would lean over to my only friend in the class and whisper the answer so she would answer for me. I…

nurses and technicians who took an injured kid and helped to rebuild him. It has helped me find a path in life, because I want to do what they did and help someone else. I know first-hand how important it is to do their jobs, to do it well and with compassion and a genuine desire to help someone else. I hope to go to college and learn all I can, to help many...but if I save one life, my life is worth it. I try and see the silver lining in every gray cloud, and my aneurysm was no exception. It…

My senior year of high school was relaxing at first as I didn’t have any real plans for my future. I was completely clueless about what I wanted to do, academically and professionally, post high school graduation. When I looked at my past for help I saw a pre-teen adolescent, a girl with eyes too big for her face, belting vocals into the bathroom mirror for she thought she could perform in a band someday. As I looked further back, I saw a six-year-old child who dreamed of becoming a dancer— who…

Just Survive Somehow I never really planned to say goodbye to my family. The old Arian wouldn't have cared about what my family thought of me. I was too busy roaming the streets trying to find more money than I had as a kid. I guess nothing much has changed since then. In my opinion, everything happened too swiftly before I knew it, I got used to bargain for clothes, food, etc. One thing that I was not prepared for was the tantalizing that I would get from the people around me. No, not just,…

eyes continued rooming down the length of the mirror, lingering upon my reflection. I looked like the lost, rag doll you keep in your attic, after realizing she's no longer full of life. My depression had altered me, for the worse. I knew I needed help, but I was too afraid to ask for it. I lived in an illusion, choosing not to acknowledge the elephant in the room. I continued walking around like a lifeless zombie, smelling like one too probably. I didn't have the desire to do anything,…

people who perceive that they have incompatible goals (Verderber, 358). Though interpersonal conflict relates to many things, its main focus is on the interaction between people. Over the years, we have learned conflict in fact helps strengthen problem-solving skills and helps people and relationships grow – despite its negative implication. Before I get into the conflict being examined, I want to give a little overview of how I learned to deal with conflict growing up. My mom and dad have…

well as encouragers. I will be observing her non-verbal body language as well. Even though I don’t have children I can relate to going to school full time and maintain employment. Also in this stage I will be using the reflecting listening skills to help me paraphrase what my client has talked about, so that the client could have that feeling that she is being heard and I am empathetic. In this stage, my goal is to build…

To learn my self-awareness, I will be interviewing three different people with a different relational type to help to see how I disclose myself and the way I can improve upon my relationships. I will learn how I communicate, why I communicate the way I do, and what I can do to improve my communication with others. Interviewing these three people, my sister, boyfriend, and teacher, will help me learn more about myself and how I communicate with others in different types of relationships. Open…

One way I worked to change things was by joining a few anti-drug programs that educated others about the negative effects of these substances. I myself had been tempted on a few occasions, but my family had taught me that these things would not help me to escape the pain and suffering that surrounded us every day, and would instead only add to it. So as part of the program, I encouraged others my age and younger to become involved in art or drama to get a sense of comfort. I wanted to prevent…
