Ever since I have been on my own at 18, I have wanted a family and I play it safe for them. I have never had a desire to “do crazy things” or “be impulsive” because I like having some control over what happens to me. The advantages would be that I very well may remain safe from a lot of unknowns. I also feel that by thinking and planning before I start complicated tasks will allow me to do better at my task. Thinking before acting can help me make wise decisions.
I always need to sit alone with soft music to think about what I have done each day in order to get myself ready to do other things. As the result shows, I make decisions mostly based on the feelings. In my life, I always want to see people I love with a big grin on their faces. Thus I would not decide anything to hurt or harm them even though I am being unbiased. In relationship and conflicts, I often try not to hurt anyone, but let it be the past and thanks for what they have done for
Self reflection is also knowing that I may need professional development in an area. This is needed so that I can be able to show unconditional positive regard, a non judgemental attitude and to be able to show empathy. Therefore it is important that I take time out to reflect in my performance and development. Self awareness can also be done in supervision or through peers. It helps to keep one’s mind fresh and with new ideas on how to deal with issues which I face during my sessions with a client.
Instead of seeing the ugliness life sometimes forces upon people, I have been revealed the beauty that exists when a truly caring family is present. My parents made certain that I know they would turn the world upside down for me if they had to. They always made sure I was
The down side of being a pragmatist is that you can’t stand change. Pragmatists definitely are not unnecessary risk takers; therefore I rarely ever fail in life either. Pragmatists go along to get along, which can substantially limit the negative aspects of conflict, but that can be tiring after awhile. I tend to be content with life which is a good thing really. As a pragmatist, I am also a realist; therefore I can sometime frustrate the dreamers of the
I value being an individual, and being responsible for your own actions. Being an individual is very important to me. I have never wanted to stand out in the crowd or be pointed out by anyone, but I have always wanted to be responsible for my own actions. Figuring things out on my own and learning at my own pace has always been a strong suit of mine. Doing things this way keeps me responsible for my known self.
Everyone is loneliness, believe it or not. Sometimes, we won’t like to talk with others; we do try to find a quiet place to avoid uproar; we don’t want to be bothered; we want to keep our own secret. This is common in human being. Everyone is same. The difference is how much they explore to the outside.
The Price of Education One thing that many people do not think about when choosing to acquire an education is the effect it may have on their relationships with friends and family. For some, there may be no change in the family dynamic, but others may feel the need to distance themselves from their families if they deem their family intellectually inferior or a hindrance to their goals of academic success. Richard Rodriguez took the approach that it was indeed necessary to isolate himself from his family in order to attain his educational goals. Bell hooks takes a completely opposite approach to her education. She feels it necessary to maintain a strong grasp of her roots and a strong relationship with her family.
I also need to work on keeping some of my emotions to myself because they are very easy to see on my face when something is bothering me. I have a big heart and don’t like to see others hurt or etc. Being a Medical Assistant I’m sure can be very stressful at times and I think that’s to be expecting in this career choice, so that’s something that I’m going to have to learn to manage. I do well with stress but I’ve never been a Medical Assistant so I’m sure the stress could be different that what I’m used to dealing with. My mom always told me “Leave work at work, and leave home at home” don’t mix the two cause it can be way to stressful at times if you do.
Sacrifice was something that I had to learn to tolerate when returning to school. Spending time with my family became less of a benefit that I once enjoyed and that many take for granted. Sleep deprivation and personal time was also something that returning to school had an impact on. Study habits are difficult to maintain and focus, due to my children wanting my attention non-stop. My parents support in this process has been a blessing as they’ve taken much of the burden therefore providing peaceful nights and lessening some of the stormy days.
