Once the barriers have been identified I should look to overcome these. Barriers can be overcome and this can improve my skills and knowledge. These are the barriers that I am likely to face: • Not enough funding to access training • Training courses being cancelled • Not enough time • Language barriers • Some learners think they know it all so don’t understand why they have to do refresher training • Social and personal barriers, where some people cannot attend due to not having child care or appointments may clash with training • Health issues. There are times we have to change dates for learners due to having previous appointments or they have unexpected personal problems so we rebook for them to attend on the next available training course. These
This image of me that the world holds on to, mostly stemming from my past transgressions, plays a major part in how I see myself, and I am diligently working to change this aspect of my self-perception. It is trying to be a self-fulfilling prophecy (Wood, 2012), with the world saying that I will be who I was once, but I disagree. I have not written down this goal until now, and I have not placed it anywhere, as my current circumstances prevent me from having a place to put such a statement. I may get it as a tattoo someday, so that I can see it no matter where I am. The statement I would currently use if I did have such a place, would be something like; “I am not the man I used to be, and though my past may be a part of who I am, it is not who I am, it is just my past.” I can definitely refine this goal statement by saying something like, “I will live a life that shows the world I am not my past”, or simply, “I am not my past.” The latter would really be a nice tattoo someday.
When a dilemma arises, my responsibility is to support individuals or their families to make informed choices. Even if I disagree with their decision, I can only give advice but can not force them. If an individual is willing to do something that involves some risk, I have to support people to make informed choices. Totally avoiding risks would limit individual’s choices and opportunities and it can lead to dependency and depression. I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities.
CHAPTER ONE In chapter one, Siddhartha learned that the love of his family would not always be enough to satisfy him. In order for him to lead a fulfilling life, he must venture out on his own and discover what really makes him happy, and what his life’s purpose is. In my life, I’ve learned that if your heart tells you that something you’re doing is morally wrong, do not do it by any means. I’ve been in way too many situations where I’ve regretted not listening to what my heart had to tell me. If you feel that something you’re doing could possibly be wrong, it is best to stop what you’re doing a really think about your choices CHAPTER TWO In chapter two, Siddhartha learned the ways of the Samanas, which is the group he chose to follow.
I call that terrible. Don’t you? Well, I am not going to let my child treat me like that. Not I. I should commit suicide first. I want my child to respect me, not to look down on me.” Even today, we talk about each generation wanting something better for their children, but we talk less about the fear and anxiety that accompany these aspirations.
Challenges: How they can make you a better person Every day we are faced with challenges we must overcome, some challenges we face are harder than others and we may require help to break through the barriers we face. If we do not succeed with the challenges that are thrown at us, then we do not grow as an individual. With Dr. Malcolm Sayer in the movie Awakenings, he has trouble with people. At first Dr. Sayer cannot face any challenge that requires him to interact with people unless it involves the things he is passionate about, such as work. Dr. Sayer seems to be a lonely man with severe social anxiety, he would much rather be at home reading or studying his plants than interacting with people.
I just realized, once you accomplish that stage in your life, it will make your life such an easy path. I also found out that if you are not to find what you want to be your personal legend of some sort. Then you won’t have something to strive for, and once that’s in the air, you easily can fall off track of what you need to do. You absolutely have to sketch out in your mind how it’s all going to work out. Some of Your days may be swamped with homework and other activities, but don't you dare lose sight of your ultimate goal: graduating.
I realize that not everyone will be your best friend, but if I spend time obsessing over it and begin to hate them, it will just bring down my own life. Although if I love them, or like them I will go on not worrying about all the hate and live happier. I am trying to incorporate some of the life lessons from each of the three books into my own life, so I can allow myself more personal fulfillments and cease the opportunity at an unbelievable life. Feeling fulfillment in life can allow someone to feel happy and realize what they have been working hard for will come in the
When clearly stated, my problem is, how do I get my children to do their chores? My issue is, should my husband be responsible for reinforcing the fact that chores need to be done or should it be me? Figuring out which was the problem and which was the issue was simple. My children not contributing towards their share of the household chores is unacceptable and action need to be taken to make a change. There would be no divide when discussed this matter with intelligent informed people.
I would work fewer hours at a new job which means less money. I would have to dedicate and change my surroundings and the people that were holding me back from pursuing my goal. I knew that even if those obstacles would be challenging I would always go back and remember my mother’s words “Where there is a will there is a way.” This has pushed me through every obstacle and has helped me while here at Argosy
