After undertaking this course, I have high regard for literary discourse that promotes positive thinking in society.

Because of your influence I was adapted when I transferred from the University of Southern Mississippi to Alcorn State University. You taught me that in order to acquire common knowledge and intellectual skills we must study and appreciate literary text. The multiple vocabulary quizzes I believed to be impediments for an early dismissal were your way of cautioning me of what was to come.

However, I am also a person who likes directions and rules to make logical sense. If I am skeptical or unsure as to its logic, I will question and present alternate ideas which is uncharacteristic of a conventional thinking style. The dependent thinking style, for which I also scored in the 97th percentile, is characterized by indecisiveness, feelings of helplessness, preoccupation with pleasing people and passivity. I agree that I am a dependent thinker. I often look to other people’s opinions when trying to make decisions and I often feel that things that happen in my life are beyond my control which leads to feelings of helplessness.

Matthew McKee Self- Defeating Habits “If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.” -Marcus Aurelius, Meditation This above quote by Marcus Aurelius on external pains and the effects on inner self could not have been articulated any better. When an outside force or stress is encountered, our “fight or flight” instinct will immediately initiate. This in laymen’s terms means that when someone [in this particular scenario, humans] is presented with an overwhelming stress, the immediate stimuli response would be, “Do I take this challenge head on and expect a positive outcome or do I avoid and mask the situation at all costs, hoping for the best?” Now, moving to the Freshman Success manual, a “Creator” would in fact be categorized as the type of person who would act on these stresses in a “fight” manner. The Creator would face the stress head on and expect a positive result whereas a “Victim” would mask the quandary and continually accumulate the given stress, inevitably breaking down mentally.
What you did to make yourself feel better. There are different ways in dealing with your stress, there are bad ways and good ways. It is not healthy to avoid the situation when it needs to be addressed. You cannot escape your stress by
