Mathematical anxiety

I’m not the one you would probably notice on the floor, in the pool, or on the court. I started United States of America Gymnastics (USAG) when I was seven years old and every coach I had would tell me I’m not good enough. Maybe they were right, maybe I wasn’t good enough. I couldn’t get a split on the floor, and I didn’t have the strength to finish a simple bar routine and a vault. No one believed in me. Going to practice one morning, I told myself that I am not the best but that shouldn’t…

The ruined city is covered in dust, surrounded by a dome of tangled vines too thick to see through. A world, called Enchantė*, that once flourished is now left in shambles. This world was once full of vibrant life, until it was all ruined by war. The few left to survive gathered in a small city known as sėcuritė*. They did their best to repopulate their once amazing world, but yet could only keep so many people alive with the little protection from the outside world they had. The first survivors…

personality. Peter had stated to Dr. Tobin that he always had anxiety and worried more than other people (Whitbourne & Halgin, 2013, p. 25, 26). Peter had existed for a long time with his anxiety which he used to help him achieve academic success and to advance his career as a hard working defense attorney. His anxiety propelled him to devote himself to his job at his law firm. I believe that Peter was resistant to seeking help because his anxiety helped him to achieve life goals. Like Dr.…

You would think that a girl with a Latino background would have a lot of life experience or be discriminated in some way or be scared about what’s going on with DACA. Here I am not having anything in mind and just looking at this laptop for hours. Still having no clue on what to say that could have on your toes wondering what happen and how I over came it I’m going to talk about how I’m doing the most untypical job for a Latino. You typically see Latino’s working as cleaners, doing outdoor labor…

Discussion of Session 3 Data Discussion My feelings before and during session 3 were a little different from the first two sessions. They were largely compounded by stress and exhaustion from arriving home late from coming out of town and staying up until 5am the night before editing a group paper/project. Nevertheless, I was anxious before the session because I knew that this session would just involve the client and I one-on-one with no observer present. Therefore, I knew that building…

Fretfulness had been a relentless companion throughout much of my childhood. I had not always been this way, but years of psychological abuse at the hands of my guardian had taken its toll. My once carefree demeanour had changed, leaving me fearful, panicky, and timid. At my second year in high school these feelings faded into the background for the first time in years, and the difference was profound. I had terrible ordeal with my guardian that left me a different person. My journey to pursue…

For my informative speech I presented Duabi. In order to prepare for my speech, I had to do a lot of research on the city and come up with things people in my class might think would be interesting to learn about. I picked three main topics to talk about and expanded on them quite well in my opinion. I was very nervous presenting because I was afraid that my information was boring and that my class wouldn’t find anything I talked about interesting. Even when I practiced my speech I stumbled on…
