There is a burning building. You hear someone in need of help, you want to run in and save them, yet you can't get yourself to do it. Why not? Because you weren't courageous enough to do it. You could've helped but you were not courageous enough Every decision you make comes down to your courage. It takes courage to do things small and big. When you're getting in your car you must have to have courage to drive knowing that you may get in a wreck at any giving time. It takes courage to keep…

When it comes to describing who I am, it is quite simple. I am the second oldest in my family. I am also a first-generation college graduate. I am an exceedingly ambitious person who always has plans for the future and know how I want to achieve those plans, but just do not have a way to do it. I had plans of a fashion magazine based in my hometown of Charlotte and even had people on board to support with layout, graphics and photography; nonetheless, I lacked the money and time to begin. I also…

To be a hero doesn't mean someone needs to save your life or stop something bad from happening; they just have to be someone you can look up to. When I was told I needed to write about a Michigan hero, I was so stumped. A family member, a friend, a teacher? Then my teacher finally said something: a coach. The dictionary definition of coach is ¨An athletic instructor or trainer.¨ To me, my coach is more than that. My volleyball coach, Shannon, is sweet, loving, caring, patient, and a very good…

Psychologist Carol Dweck has determined the effects of a growth mindset, when someone believes that they can be good at anything by having the ability to actually achieve their goal, and a fixed mindset, when someone believes that they are either good or bad at something based on their inherent nature.

others. Moreover, this unfortunate cultural norm causes undue stress to our schedules. In my opinion, it's not just that we are taught that it's bad, were also taught that we are selfish for choosing our needs over the needs of other. We feel guilty and selfish if we say no. And, we all know that selfishness is terrible. In a different sense, we also made the word no into the worst of epithets, there is only negative emotions attached to it. Our culture says that no is the ultimate…

by, involving each and every member. If the group is talking about a topic and one person has not said much I would kindly ask that person to give his/her option on the topic. Or depending on what the topic I could choose that quite person because I know that they have knowledge in the area and would be a great help (Toseland, R.W., & Rivas, R.F. 2012, p. 112). Some group members may struggle with assertiveness and adequate displays. They may struggle with this because of their past. Or they…

to hear about me and my life. But as I think about that more and as I continue through the stage of my life that I am experiencing, I want to use my situation as an example. Every one in this world has emotions, a soft side, and a heart, and we all need someone sometimes just to talk to. Someone we can vent to in hopes that they might actually understand us. I have felt very alone at times. I learned the most about being a friend during these times I felt alone, and all that I hope is that I can…
