A childs largest support system stems from their imediate environment and their family. His first views of himself will be how I view him and I will never let him think he is not good enough. In my eyes he was born good enough and will only become better. As much as he is punished when he has done wrong, he will more so be praised for when he does right. I know the more focus I place on his assets rather than liabilities the more they will nurture and grow.
When they would talk about their families and tell me their stories of why they were there, I found myself getting angry at God. I didn’t understand how God could let a child go through all that suffering. I later realized that everything happens for a reason and that I was sent to Mindo for a special reason. I was to be a friend to these children. I wanted make their lives better, even if it was just for than one week I was in Mindo.
Anything that we can do without and produce for ourselves will not only strengthen our country, but will also help our children and grandchildren live out the same pleasures we have been able to enjoy. Dr. Nobles commented in the first week of our class that we as people needed to evaluate what we would be willing to give up in order to sustain the life we have. That’s what sustainability is. It is defined as “capable of being maintained” but to me it seems better defined as giving up unimportant conveniences to maintain what is truly best for the well-being of not only one’s self, but also the greater good of the
They were extremely disappointed in me but loved me nevertheless. They supported and encouraged my decision to keep my child. They told me they would be there for me and always have been. I learned very quickly what it meant to be a grown up. All of a sudden every decision I made had an impact on not only me but also on the little one growing inside of me.
It is all too often a familiar feeling when I think of my family responsibility and how I must often make decisions and carry the burden for my family. I quickly learned that others within the group had similar feelings of family obligation and responsibility which seemed to play a role in the tension they felt at the onset of the group. When Dr. Skjoldal asked the question, “What will happen if you don’t get something right or get a thing done?”, It was a moment of enlightenment, and it gave me insight. I have never been asked that question. Thinking about a possible answer reveals that I am not only living with fear but possibly an over-compensation of family obligation.
I will never forget my past because it was such a big part of my life. It gave me the confidence that if I really want to achieve something, I know I can do it. As I lost more and more weight, the new friends got to my head quick. I forgot who my real friends were; I left them in the dust just because I was so excited to meet so many new people. It’s funny what happens when everything changes so fast; one forgets about who really cares about them and who’s been there for them since day one.
There are no exact guides on how to deal with the stress and fears that life brings our way. But it is of utmost importance that we each remember, no day is guaranteed. Peace is possible even in the midst of chaos. Learning compassion, empathy and patience will help prepare you for a much happier life. We are all only human therefore, imperfect, and must remember that we are the living models for our children and their
I was young and immature and was having to grow up way to fast. I wanted to prove to myself and my family that the choice I had made was a good choice. I needed to be a good parent and a devoted wife. I wanted to raise my children with their father together. I believed that was the right choice I was still making.
As it may be difficult to discover our true identity, it jeopardises our ability to find a sense of belonging, because we are weary from our previous unpleasant experiences. Our closest connection ever since we were children, would be our parents, their teachings, traditions and values ultimately forms our beliefs when we’re still developing and learning. During this period of time, we strive to live by our parents’ rules and morals, and that’s not only because we respect them, but we’re still trying to find our own identity. Over the time as we grow up, as we immerse ourselves with different kinds of people during our time in high school, and thus we start to gain experience through different kinds of relationships. On this journey towards adulthood, to find our identity we could start to value different things in our lives as opposed to what we were taught by our parents.
I think this is the most important character you can have because it will push you through life and help you become a more reliable and better person. This belief has come from a lot of adult figures in my life but mostly my dad. My dad is always telling me that even if the situation is as bad as it can get you should still always
