With saying that, I know that if I try hard and work hard, I will reach success. I must know that along with success comes failure. When failure happens I must not let it get in the way of my goals, I must develop ways I can fix my failure and keep moving. I also must learn the traits of a successful person, see the parts of my life that need improvement, and then move toward more success in my own life. Taking control of my choices and not being a victim of the change life is going to throw at me is another role that is important on my way to success.
But i can only hope that this will come to an end, the longer i fight to survive the more i wish to die, i don’t think i can live with the person i am becoming. I thought that by writing this letter id be telling the world of what happened to me and many others but it feels as though it’s the only thing giving me hope and not falling into a hollow pit of
To get a tattoo on the whim that it looks cool or it’s the trend at the time will more than likely cause regret and troubles in your life. One is less likely to regret the permanent marking inked on their skin if it reflects something that has had a major influence or meaning during that person’s life. A person should not waste such an eloquent way of representing a symbol in their lives by placing a meaningless tattoo on their body. I believe tattooing is an effective and meaningful method of body art used to symbolize a significant event in one’s life or one’s passion. Tattooing has developed over the years into intricate and artistic means by which people can express themselves (My Tattoos Have To Stay A Dirty Secret, para.
I always fear of becoming a sell out. I want to be a writer, but when it comes down to it, it’s just not reliable, so I started finding myself looking for a “safer” option. Journalism. Afterwards though I realized that I’d rather be broke and writing what I love, then have a stable job and resent what I’m writing about. I can see both Holden’s view, and D.B’s.
Many people venture through life without considering the consequences of their actions. Some believe in fate and some hope destiny will find them. But destiny is meant to be fulfilled. People must be aware of the changes around them and they must attempt to better the world through knowledge instead of through material objects. In Douglas Coupland’s, Girlfriend in a Coma, Coupland suggests that solely existing is not sufficient and that destiny is not something that occurs naturally, but it is “what we work toward” (6).
I then realized that the wall I had constructed to keep what I felt was wrong about my new environment away was simultaneously preventing the positive aspects from effecting me as well. At this point is when I regained my briefly lost self-assurance and knew that I was never any less competent than the best and the brightest at Jordan, but that I needed to study and apply myself (methods I had not always practiced so vigorously in the past). I opened my mind, and a true understanding for diversity found it’s way in. I understand now that regardless of the differences and even the similarities of a group of people should not justify the intolerance for one another. I also believe my experiences have enhanced my communication with those whose backgrounds, opinions, and/or lifestyles contrast with mine.
So far in my career I have made a few mistakes but making mistakes are a part of life, and I believe there is always a chance to learn from those mistakes. One way to ensure that the same mistakes aren’t made could be to list the choices I have made and the outcomes that they’ve had. Once that is complete I will make another list that shows what could have been done differently and what a possible outcome could have been. This will be my own personal way of ensuring every decision I make is an Honorable decision. I also realized that when you aren’t 100 percent honest about your own personal problems you aren’t being honorable.
Another weakness would be confidence, I know I am capable of doing the work but sometimes I doubt myself and my capabilities especially in the O.R. setting, I need to work on not allowing other individuals such as surgeons, reps, or nurses frazzle me to the point where I am not able to do my job like I am normally able to do. My first plan to improve my weakness of life interference I have already started to implement and the solution is to put myself in a better situation work extremely hard pray and work harder and make better choices slow down and think before acting make logical decisions not ones based off of emotion only. A way to improve my confidence weakness is to treat the O.R. like any other x-ray scenario, make sure I am familiar with the equipment prior to going into surgery and get familiar with the types of surgeries I will be doing.
Life is only starting for me, I know I’ll face more challenges in my life, but if I don’t have the diploma I will not have a future, I’ve lost friends that I thought would be there for me, you have to lose something to gain something even better. I wanted to personally attend Fresh Start for graduating purposes, the school is right down the road from my old school. The people who I thought were my friends told me, “not to leave, and that if I was really your friend you wouldn’t leave me”. No, actually if I WAS your friend you wouldn’t be stopping me, you should be pushing me to do better for myself, and that spoke volume to me. I used to think I’ve had real friends, until a small inconvenience shown me otherwise.
Some of these implications may include loss of employment or discrimination by the society. These is lack of well defined legislative measures protecting a persons right for self expression through body modification and as such one should take great care before embarking on any form of bodily modification. The Psychology of Body Modification Introduction In the recent past, there has reemerged an interest in Body Modification in the west. The forms of body modifications that have enjoyed this resurgence are tattooing and piercings. This occurrence can be attributed to the issue of self identity which has been prevalent on man’s mind since the Stone Age days.
