I tried to understand their confusion and rejection, even when it affected me deeply in a personal way. Some showed a suprised reaction, and others showed a reaction that was downright insulting. I've encountered people who have though me to be inferior mentally simply because they knew nothing about deafness. I've encountered people who have shocked me with their interest, curiousity, and willingness to learn about myself and the world I live in. Along the string of people I've met in the 18 years of my life, not one made more of an impact than that one day in May of 2007, when I met a group of people who had no concept of barriers or pre-conceived notions about deaf people who chose a hearing path in their lives.
“I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere”. Wanting to belong and the feeling that we get from belonging is what we strive for, which is in our human nature. The benefits we gain from belonging by far outweigh the costs but those costs are inevitable and can change a lot about ourselves. Our sense of identity can be compromised by belonging to a group. In Amish communities, individuals all obey the one simple way of living without modern technologies and plain dressing and face being shunned from the community if they do not respect the Amish way of life.
We lost a lot of people because of that attack, so that really hurt me on the inside. It made me pretty angry and I wanted our military to do everything possible to get back at them for what they have done. The years have passed and I still think about this event almost every day. It is truly amazing how we take our freedom for granted, and not realize how important truly is. There are people out there fighting for our country every single day and some people don’t respect that as much as they should.
Don’t get me wrong I’ve always worked hard, but I’ve made some very unwise choices in my life. I don’t regret them because the choices I’ve made, also made me into the person I am today and I’m pretty pleased with her. One choice that I made changed my life, I thought my life was over and there was no turning back. I didn’t see that god had a plan and it worked out for the best. You know the old saying about lying, how the “truth shall set you free” or when a little white lie turns into a big red evolving volcano.
This always helped in generating better ideas and always made our brainstorming sessions productive. Several factors affected the operation of our team due to our divergent personalities. One of the traits I was lacking before I became a member of this team was my ability to flex my personality style to take on roles that didn’t allow me to be within the comfort zone of my leadership style. According to the Bolton and Bolton leadership style I possess an analytical personality which shows that I am more responsive and less assertive. The positive enforcement on the concept that leadership can be learned encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and assume responsibilities that required different personality styles.
Writing a mission statement was one of the best things I’ve done for myself in awhile. I plan to use that everyday in my future and i believe it can guide me to live my life for me, not anyone else. I think habit 2 will better me both in my school and personal life because it taught me how to separate every aspect in my life and set time for each thing I’m juggling. It also was an eye opener when we did the baby steps for this habit because it make me write down my crossroads I was currently facing and forced me to take a deeper insight to them and I figured some things out that I was struggling with. Next year, I will become a sophomore student and my dream is a pharmacist.
The conflicts kept increasing which led to the violence rising to an extreme level. Impact of war: Thousands of people lost their lives. People were displaced forcing them to migrate. Tremendous damage to the city. The entire country is in a state of turmoil.
Personal Goal and Self- Realization Danyell Daniel University of Phoenix Personal Goal and Self- Realization The information in chapter 7 there were a lot of examples that I could relate to in my own personal life but what stood out most for me was “Personal Goals and Self Realization.” All my life I have been what some call a floater. I have never set personal goals for myself, I allow life to happen and how ever things were presented I rolled with the punches. When I was 18 and pregnant it hit me I can’t just go through life without a plan, I was more upset with myself for not taking the advantage of going to college after high school and scared that my life would be me struggle with a child on a minimum wage budget. I had the potential for greatness but found myself in between a rock and a hard place. My situation was bad I was with child not married, no goals and unemployed.
It really hurt me. But after a few confident boosters and talks with my family and friends, I decided to take some classes to improve on what I did. I am confident that I am going to do better on my next adventure which in turn will help me to take care of my family.
They deserved to be given love and importance. IV. Action I’m moved to go beyond what I am now. FFP helped me to be ready for giving myself to others, whole-heartedly. I know that I can’t give them something or the material things that would help them in their daily lives this time but I can give them my whole heart, in listening to their problems and concerns.
