My First Job Working With Trouble Youth

When working with children and young people it is important to know the aims and responsibilities for your setting.

Change is a process that affects individuals and their environments. Some people choose to embrace change, while others resist it. “Macbeth”; the song “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and the episode of the Twilight Zone, “A Stop at Willoughby” all successfully convey the notion of change and demonstrate how individuals and societies can embrace or resist change.

Change is to become different, and every day, something changes, whether it is the weather, the age of something or someone, or even the government. One must learn that change occurs in everybody's life and in order to grow one must accept change. J.D. Salinger's book named The Catcher in the Rye provides an excellent example of change. The Catcher in the Rye's main character, Holden Caulfield has a difficult time in accepting that life is all about change and discovery. He shows these traits through the idea of adults being phonies, alienation and loneliness, the idea of being the catcher in the rye, and the idea of change by going back to the museum and elementary school.

As my experience working with children grows, I would like to gain the skills necessary to run a preschool program. I have worked primarily with infants and toddlers in the past few months, which has become a new focus of mine. Working with such young children allows me to have a productive impact on their cognitive development. This opportunity has been a great encouragement and I hope to run an infant-toddler program within a larger school. My more immediate goals are centered around gaining experiences in different facilities. By exposing myself to different programs and their unique styles, I will be able to see how different procedures, like those for resolving conflict, work for children. With time, these ideas would be integrated into my own program.

You cannot be considered a green bug on the brown field. Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and alters the way in which we believe. Changes can make life a hardship on awhile, it might cause stress but it can help us find methods to improve our selves. Change is going to be there forever, we should be vunerable to it.

At times in life there comes something called change. In my opinion, I was not a big fan of change. You cannot imagine how I was feeling when my mother announced that we were moving. It was the middle of my sixth-grade year, I was feeling countless emotions, none that could be explained at the moment of the announcement. The main thing on my mind was school; my friends, my outstanding teachers, and the environment. All things I had left behind. All I could think about was, “How will I ever adjust?” I knew exactly what was to come, I knew exactly what I was going to become, an outcast. There were numerous of ways on why I was feeling this way, but

Change. It is a concept often discussed as being an inevitable part of human life, something people has experienced numerous of times, and will continue to experience throughout their lives. Change comes in many forms and has a range of effects, which are either negative or positive on those who experience it and respond to it. Change, particularly in relation to the topic ¡°Changing perspective creates awakening¡±, is a view that is repeatedly explored and been written in poem/film by thousands of composers.

Most of people have the desire to integrate their lives to new habits but harder than to know what to do it is to know from where to

Change is apart of everyday life, it is inevitable no matter what we do, but it is our choice as people on if we want these changes to be negative or positive. A few years back, I made a promise to myself that as I progress through life, I will always try my best to change for the better and fix myself in areas where I fall behind, but not everyone makes the choice to be better. Some make a choice that affects who they are in a negative way as well as hurting those closest to them, someone I used to hang out made that decision and that caused me to change my perspective on him.

I can think of many things that changed my life; my dog dying, my friends moving, high school, my siblings going off college, my trip to China. Just from listing changes in my life I begun to think, “what is the biggest change I have faced?” Change can either be positive or negative. Change is a part of our lives that we can either accept or run away from. Because I am just a person I can say that I have done accepted and ran away from change. Though, I learned I can’t run away from change forever.

As part of the requirements in order to complete this paper, I took three surveys to determine my stand on change itself. I’ve known that change is the only constant thing in life. People change, situations change, and even nature changes. We have to be prepared for the changes to come around us or we will not be able to make it. In fact, science itself tells us that those who can adapt most to change will those who survive.

Change, a word that scares many individuals. At the same time, a word that to some, it presents itself as an opportunity of a life time, a way out,even salvation. To me it appeared as a sacrifice with a life changing reward at the end of the tunnel. Moving constantly as a child between three countries and several schools was definitely not something I expected to encountered. Waking up everyday wondering if the last day where I called home was approaching. Did not realize until my are high schools years that this had many positive aspects. The people I met, the experiences some only witness in movies, and the many Professors I came across with their different instructing styles that always seemed to end up sneaking one more teaching towards that I would end up needing and using for all the endeavors I would eventually encounter. Not to mention the friendships I created which will last for along as I live. Still, it wasn 't until the last time that I moved to the United states that I truly felt overwhelmed, pressured, and Intimidated.

The concept of change is relative to time. It is for those who desire improvement in their life. Improvement starts in the mind. You can change your life if you can change your mind.

Have you ever counted the number of changes happen in a day or how many good things happen to you in a day? I will argue that those two numbers are related. Changes have to be made in order for improvements to be made. That change can happen in anything such as, choosing a priority, ending relationships with people, or moving schools. Shannon L. Adler said “there comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book, or simply close it”. I agree with this because she is saying that people need to make changes in order to improve their lives.

I got my first job when I was seventeen years old. Living in a small town, there were only three job options for teenagers. We had a McDonalds, a Waffle House, and an Ingles supermarket. My best friend at the time worked at McDonalds, so my choice was obvious. I thought it was going to be great. I got to work with my friend every day, I got weekends off, and I did not have any bills to pay, so the extra money was a plus. Once I actually started working, my opinion changed very quickly. My friend got scheduled day shifts while I was scheduled to the overnight shifts. Instead of having free weekends, mine were spend caching up on the sleep I missed working every night of the week. It was a wake up call that I was not expecting. I started
