Marley & Me

I am still not ending my time with my client, prepping my client for the department not being involved for longer then necessary has been difficult. I’m someone who loves to hand hold people and get them through whatever they are going through with me helping them. I 'm working on being able to not do that, I can walk along side the client and meet the client half way but I can not hand hold them because then I am not teaching the client to be self sufficient. Through out entire time working…

harder for me. Getting A’s on my first 2 years is very important because in order to transfer to Cullen College of Engineering at University of Houston, I need to maintain a GPA for 3.6 or above. But with the help of the Counselors and advisors that transition is made very easy for me. The advisors are able to tell me the what classes I need to take and are able to help me layout a plan for however long you want to stay a lone star. The tutoring center is the library is a great tool for me, I…

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 things to say and it is the…

influential people in my life that I always looked up to as they helped guide me in my life and wanted me to reach for the moon. Getting the news that my Grandma had passed away from old age and my Aunt dying from a heart attack just a couple weeks later is just the worst thing anybody can ever hear, especially if they were your role models. They were the ones who influenced me to become an accountant and become a CPA, they helped guided me to take the correct classes in school and what I needed…

or two in their lifetime there is doubt about it. There is one lesson that I recall quite well. This just so happens to be the first time I have been pulled over by an officer. Something that will never happen to me again. This is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me to this current date. I am not sure how anyone else would feel in this situation, but here goes my experience. My friend Kayla and I decided that we wanted to adventure to Bridgeport and go shopping at the…

myself to keep pushing to go farther in life. My mom taught me as being a black woman that it will be challenges that I will have to face. The only way I can face them and not fail is to keep believing in myself. One thing I have learned is…

exercising of 150 minutes per week. Which, I thought was an ideal goal for me to start with to help motivate me to incorporate some exercise on a daily basis. I also wanted to keep track of everything I consumed because it will help me know what kinds of foods I am eating on a daily. Whether if it is healthy or unhealthy foods, I wanted it to be conscious. I also recorded how much water/other drinks I intake on a daily to help me keep track of how much I am drinking every day. Although, I did…

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…

The integrating stage, to me, is more for people who are deeply in love. Although a lot of things turned into ours instead of mine they were not as significant as cars and apartments. People of the older age are more serious in relationships rather than younger people who are just…

ability/disability. All three of the experiences made me realize not just where my position was in society but it made me understand other people’s social locations. When I was young I never truly realized how privileged nor did I realize the differences between race. I lived in a nice and comfortable house, got most of the clothes or toys I wanted, and went on many family vacations. But it never really clicked to me that not everyone else lived like me, until the age of twelve. I was a…
