My Journey Of Life

Isaiah, in one of the most historic passages in scripture, gives us great insight into how to live our lives with purpose and endurance. Isaiah 40:27-31 states,

If the state of mind was that I am equipped to deal with everything, stress and worries would not happen. The roots to this largely stem from our belief system. Belief systems are inculcated in our growing up years largely from the age group of 0-8 years. This is the age group that we call as impressionable age. Our minds have conscious and subconscious parts. The subconscious comprises of roughly about 88 to 90

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my

Isaiah's message is telling us to always trust in god and not in war. Never to doubt him and to always known that he will help us. I can be like Isaiah today by helping people not to sin. If I see my friends or family members doing something wrong I will try to help them to believe and trust in God. Even if they think no one can help them I will help them to

Your perception is based on your beliefs, values, and your conditioning. If you believe that life is out to get you, and you don 't value your own happiness very much, and you have been conditioned to believe that there is nothing you can do when bad things happen, then your perception towards struggles and challenges is going to be one where stress and anxiety are abundant. How could you be anything but stressed with that perception?

Isaiah’s advice to Ahaz in the Syro-Ephraimitic crisis was sound. Isaiah encouraged Ahaz to trust the Lord (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Ahaz had been unsteady in his convictions to follow the Lord and also was afraid of the cruel plans of the Kings of Damascus and Israel (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Isaiah’s advice would have brought Ahaz a new insight.

The first step to handling stress is simply knowing why it is present. When there is a problem that is hard to handle, it is human nature to feel worried, confused, hopeless, or anxious (Martin). The causes of stress vary from person to person and can be both internal and external issues.

At this point in my life, the last thing I expected to do was to have the courage to follow my lifelong dream of being in the healthcare profession as an Occupational Therapist Assistant. But, a heartfelt presence remained within me when I first became introduced to this field as a young woman working at a hospital. There was also a calling to assist individuals and contribute to their care and recovery in their daily lives that persisted throughout my life. Being in a position of making a difference in the lives of others is an extraordinary privilege that I do not take for granted. The dream of being part of this profession was put on hold but never forgotten, when my educational pursuits led me in another direction as an Elementary School Teacher where helping at risk students reach their fullest potential intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially was both challenging and rewarding. My career for the past 8 years has been that of a Certified Elementary Teacher with a specialization in Bilingual Education in Spanish and English as a Second Language. I have been fortunate in this manner because I have taught underserved children in a lower socioeconomic school who are at risk of failing due to their classification of being English Language Learners. And for the past three years, I have enjoyed being the PreKindergarten Bilingual Teacher for these exceptional children and made lasting friendships with the staff and parents at this school.

I was always told that I could walk at a very early age. Back when I think about it I was always running as a child. I could never keep still. I was placed into every sport imaginable played soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and even tennis. After I tried them I ended up getting tired of them. The only sport I really stuck with was soccer but in time it faded too. After that, I started to notice slight pains in my hips and I would usually walk with a limp. I went to the doctor on multiple occasions to fix this problem however their answer was always the same, growing pains. Then I was 14 years old and I started my high school career. I went to West Springfield high school. I had realized that I had just moved into a new situation in my life that I had completely no control over. So, in an effort to find people to talk to and find some friends in my new environment, I decided to join a club or a sport. However, after I thought about it I had nothing I felt I could properly assist in. After much debate, I came to the conclusion of joining the crew or rowing team.

Who am I? What do I tell people when I am asked this question? Do I even know the answer? It has taken many years for me to be able to answer this question. All of my life experiences have led me to the road I am on today, and I would never give them back.

My journey starts at a small Philadelphia public school, Greenberg Elementary School. At six years old, as most Kindergardeners are, I was a very curious learner; constantly asking the teacher questions about why birds flew and why dogs bark. I learned new games from my friends in the school yard and I learned how to add and subtract in the classroom. Learning wasn't just what I was taught in the classroom, it was also information that I picked up from people around me, such as my friends and family.

Emerging from an environment full of toxicity and hostility, most individuals find it extremely difficult to grasp how much I have endured throughout my life, but still manage to blossom virtually unscathed both mentally and physically. Although I do not skate through life as some others do, I know I cannot manage on my own. My life this past year would notably emit a constant negative outlook on my world today without the aid of my significant other, Dillan. From the hardships I have endured, I am constantly laboring to overcome the past and reflecting on the impact of my significant other, Dillan, especially when it comes to battling with myself about who I am and what my future might hold.

As a very small child I don’t remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child’s eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory’s with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

Somebody has rightly said “Life is a journey” and i completely agree with that person. In fact i believe, life is merely not a single journey, it is indeed a combination of various small journeys that teaches one or the other thing to a person and leave and ever lasting impact on his or her life. Today in this article, i am going to talk about one such journey of mine, which was for few hours but have left an everlasting impact on my mind forever. Delhi metro services- one of the best and the most commonly used transportation means in Delhi, it do not need and sort of introduction. But for the ones who don’t know it, let me tell you- few decades back METROS were once those trains which can only be seen in discovery channel or in some hi-fi foreign magazines and in developed nations.But

Jesus, in my life, is so much more than one thing. My journey through life has taught me new things about Jesus, and it began with my childhood. I grew up a Christian; going to church every Sunday and Wednesday was and is just part of my lifestyle. Being brought up in that environment is a blessing but also has its challenges. When I was a little kid I thought of Jesus as just someone we talked about on Sunday, I didn’t fully understand who he was outside of the bible videos we watched and when my mom and I prayed to Him each night. As I got older I began to really think about this person who my teachers said died for me and loves me more than anyone else. There was a point in my life where I really had to decide if I would commit my life to Jesus; not because people had told me He was real, but because I truly believed it in my heart. There is a story in Luke 18:15-16 where people began bringing the little children and babies to Jesus. The disciples tried to turn them away but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” This story was read right before one of my Sunday school teachers asked if any of us wanted to accept Jesus into our hearts. I raised my hand and that is when I really began my walk with Jesus on a personal level. This added yet another level to who Jesus is in my life. I learn lessons from Him every day
