Role Models

I don't have a role model figure in my life, being that I grew up in such a bad environment I learned from other peoples mistakes. I've become a better person since I've done that. The definition of a role model to me is someone you look up to, someone whose very humble and is willing to help people when there down and out. Someone whose lived a life that would make you want to follow in there foot steps. And as of right now theirs no one in my life that fits the role model description to me. In the future I would love to be a role model for someone in the up in coming generation. Since I've learned and seen the things that I should and should not do. I can start from now on planning how to become a great role model.

Letting Go of Evaluation

Based on my "My Life Vision" worksheet I feel that it would be very hard for me to just do an assessment-based and only for the purpose of improving. I say that because depending on the type of situation it may be. If the people around me chose to help me improve instead of judging me, then I'll probably see things a little differently. In order for me to want to help myself improve and not bring myself down, I would have to love myself first before anything else. And to try and put the things that happen to me in the past and just move forward with my life so that it wont affect me as a person in the future.

Learning and then Moving On

This exercise was for me to analyze an experience, issue, or relationship that I previously went through. The problem that came from this experience was me not trusting people who I thought were close to me any more. I was hurt, confused, annoyed and the situation was painful and ridiculous. My three strengths that I had going this problem was me being very strong minded, knowing how to deal with big situations and i am a very mature young lady. The reason why I never addressed the problem was because I don't want to hurt no ones feeling and it might become a bigger problem. The only person I know that can help me through this situation is God. As of this point I don't know how I would handle it. If I don't address it any time soon I might grow to become a bitter woman, this problem shows how I come off about certain situations and how I can shut down completely. This problem taught me how to try to deal wit certain situations the best way you can. no matter how big they are.

My Life Vision

I been through everything you can think of and I'm only 18 years old. I made mistakes that I had to learn from. And I did some things that I wish I could take back but I cant . My life can only get better at this point. I see my future as something worth waiting on. I feel like God has a plan for me, and he putting me through all kinds of tests just to see if I'm strong enough to handle what he has in store for me. I would love to learn a lot more things in life and about my life as well. like why did my father walk out on my mom before I was even born, didn't even get to see his daughters face not just once. I always wanted to know what was the real story , the story that my mother never told me because I was to young to understand. I would love to learn how to be a better leader for my pairs. they seem to look up to me for some reason and I just let them down every time. so now I want to learn how to put aside my problems and just be a shoulder to cry on for someone else's. the biggest thing the I want to learn about is myself , I notice that I hold a lot in and don't know how to control my emotions at time. I need to learn that if I want to become some body or be an example for somebody else I have to start with my self, as in fixing things that I need to work on. My identity is a major thing for me, having to accept it and embrace the fact that I am this person and I cant change that for nothing. Well yea this is my vision on my life.

Growing Your Performance

1. I feel that i am a level 3 on the Theory of Performance because I'm a positive person and I enjoy people. Knowledge wise I love solving problems and improving my performance. I'm a positive person and I feel good about my accomplishments. And I am able to learn on how people function.

2. I am least prepared in being able to learn from how other people function in a particular area. And reacting to certain challenges without complaining.

3. The strength of my identity makes me who I am. And how I would get through college as a person and as a student. Depending on how strong my identity is, that's how I will be able to determine my success.

4. I can tell that this student is very intelligent and is willing to strive for better. And is also willing to do better as well. He wasn't ashamed to join study groups with other kids who needed help as well. And by doing that, that was also a way for him to meet new people and make new friends.
