Remind Me

FORGIVING OURSELVES I know more people who have had trouble with this than I can name. This is one of the issues that people I have worked with in recovery have shared with me, “how do I forgive myself for what I have done”? That is a great question and not an easy one to answer. I have an old friend, an elderly gentleman. He always keeps it simple and says “if you want to feel good, do good” so one of the ways we can start to feel better about ourselves is to begin to perpetuate good things…

I start to feel the nerves rushing; I begin to read ahead making sure I know all the words I’m about to read to the entire class. I keep looking around the class at all the posters that are telling me how to break down the sentence and paragraph. It was in this class that first made me feel ashamed and embarrassed of my struggle to read and write. I was in this class full of student who found the same subject hard, but my approach to this situation was different. My goal was to improve and be…

notebook in my phone holds my life. I write all-important things to me down, from my prayers to my finances. I like to type these things in my phone notebook for two main reasons. First, because I am a teenager and everyone knows all teens guard our phones with our life. It is rare that a teenager will ever lose their cell phone. Secondly, because in my phone note it will email them to me therefore they are never lost. Writing for me is my way of staying organized, focused, and sane. I stay…

because apart from being one of my skills, it is very important to me. In an unorthodox way my creativity helps me create goals and plans for myself when past ones have proven unsuccessful. I think creativity reminds me why I am alive, it helps to inspire me and excite me for the future. I chose dependability because this is something that I am very good at. I am proud to say that whatever I am pursuing, is done well. This has helped me to gain confidence in myself. No matter what the other…

several of them to complete assigned activities. For example, once we have finished the class, for homework we have a handout, in which it is required to identify if the sentence structure is appropriate or not. Completing this handout helps us to remind us of what we have practiced in class. Also, one new thing that I have got to learn is that practicing after class exercises similar to those shown in class; is an effective way for improvements. Practicing can get to be a bit stressful…

On the 17th October 2015 we went to watch the performance adaptation of Anita and me at the Birmingham REP by Meera Syal and adapted by Tanika Gupta. The performance starred Mandeep Dhillon as Meena and Jalleh Alizadeh as Anita. The play is a touching example of a beautiful coming of age story and follows the tale of a British-Punjabi girl growing up in the Black Country during the 1970s it explores Meena’s struggle to fit into local culture. She soon develop friendships with both Anita and Sam…

better. Get the school involved earlier and push for my street to step up. Possibly even expand how many streets I cover so I can have a better opportunity to get donations. This may not have gone as I have planned and who knows how my street will help me these next couple of days before I completely finish the pet drive. However, I do know that I learned from this and that it’s not always so easy to make a community project happen without extensive planning or good connections that will for…

that it entails. As a current social work student and a professional working with clients in the social work and mental health field I must conduct myself accordingly. The reason why is because I have guidelines to adhere to and clients that depend on me to represent them for their social needs. I feel that I am growing professionally in the social work field. I have grown since I first entered the social work program. I held jobs where I worked with clients and I had…
