My Values In My Life

Throughout our lifetime, us as people decide to admire different objects, ideas, and people due to what pleases their thoughts and actions. The infinite examples of things we could’ve valued could’ve been toys, friends, book, etc.. But then we began to mature and begin to come out of our little shells to discover new products, views of the world, and new ways to advance in our technology and therefore influencing what we value today. And as I matured in my lifetime, I established a novel value to my parents the greatest.

De bono (1933) quoted ?Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose?. Came to my mind when I first read Professionalism in Physical Therapy: Core Values published by American Physical Therapy Association. I believe that core values play a major role in determining one?s standing in the society, either as an Individual or an Organization. APTA (2003) stated that in 2002 eighteen physical therapists based on their expertise in physical therapy practice, education and research were invited by APTA?s Education Division to participate in a consensus based conference to develop consensus based document on professionalism that include Core values of the profession and its indicators that are fully consistent with core values and professional education matrix that includes educational outcomes, examples of terminal behavioral objectives, and examples of instructional objectives for classroom and clinical practice.

Throughout middle school, I conformed to what was expected. I changed my clothing style, the manner in which I conversed, and the people whom I conversed with to fit in. My interests often changed to what was popular at the time, and I always tried to make as many friends as possible so that I can look good in front of other people. I didn’t even know myself. I was what society had made me out to be. My friends weren’t my real friends; I didn’t have a single interest with most of them. Over time, I started to become unsatisfied with myself. This was until my transition to high school, when I made one of the best decisions of my

Steve Jobs once said, “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Life is about changing yourself over and over again until you're happy, then changing yourself again because you're no longer happy -- and that's okay. Often, once you make a choice in life, people will put you in a box, shutting you out from all light, resulting in a misshapen, brittle, and weak mind and heart. The greatest nourishment for them is change, and once someone takes away the ability for the mind and heart to transform, they take away your life. When I was 14, naïve and insensitive, I learned the value of change. My life did change, slowly morphing me into

During freshman year in high school, I was diagnosed with depression. For a long time, I suspected that this was most likely the case, but I couldn’t be certain. I worked hard to get my parents to take me to the right people to help me because I thought that once I had my diagnosis, I could get help with many things - one in particular was school. However, this didn’t turn out to be the case, and in many situations, never does. Many people don’t realize how the symptoms of depression affect one’s ability to function in class. Depression is often stereotyped or romanticized into something it’s not, and that greatly affects all of those who have been diagnosed - in particular those still in school. For instance, when seeking help at school, many

I think these values could help me narrow down on my major. I think my adaptability will help me choose a job that always changing and never the same every day. A job that requires a lot of out of office work would be perfect for me. I would love to have a job that could help society. If my career was not directly evolved in helping the community, I would hope to partner with a charity or volunteer in my spare time. Helping the community is great because it benefits other people and exposes one to more people/situations. Being admired is one of my top five values. I choose this because I want to have a career in which I am recognize within that community. If I had a big platform, I would love to use it to help the community. Financial freedom

V. I am completely aware that having my personal values, core values of the profession, and my social statuses may have an impact on building a professional helping relationships in social work practice.

Core values shape who I am as a person. The values that are important to me are faith, determination, optimism, happiness and humor. These values help me to determine what is truly important to me and guide me in good decision making. My family has handed down these values from generation to generation.

Child abuse and neglect evoke may elicit strong reactions from me due to my childhood experiences of ill-treatment and neglect. I left my mother at the age of eight to live with my father and stepmother. My stepmother abused and neglected me in any way possible. Because of lack of policies to protect children in Africa, I had nowhere to go for help. I had no choice but to endure till I graduated from high school in 1994. Whenever I see or hear stories of child abuse and neglect, I become emotional as I recall all the hardships I went through during my youth.

Among my core care values are basically Excellence, the Set S^4, Motivation, Respect, and The Family. The three value I will pick are: Excellence, The set S^4 and the family.

In everyone’s life, people find items that have meaning to them.  Some seem to find it in an idea, belief, or religion.  They take it and do whatever pleases them.  For some, they wear it on them at all times.  For others, it is a photograph, ticket stub, or any other way to idolize a memory.  How do people pick these few items or ideas?  People have their own way for doing it, but they have dreams and passions that they devote their lives to.  For me, I love sports, music, and Jesus Christ.  I have sentimental items for all of these.  It is through the memories you make and the moments that these objects meaningful and personal.

Based on the path that my life has taken, I will say that I rarely have any meaningful items or people that are important to me. A few things that have become important to me or have interest me in my life are Devan and books. Spending time with Devan makes me feel comfortable and that I can be myself instead of acting fake to be important like I have to be around other people. Devan realized who I really was instead of who I was trying to act like. I have tried to enjoy playing sports to be like everyone else, but I have always been more interested in books that I can get lost in. Reading books makes me enjoy life and enjoy seeing how other people view the world even if the story is written as fiction. When reading any story that interest me, I love to read on what the author’s thoughts were on how they came up with while writing the story. When I get a new book that interest me, I will get lost in the way the story is told and will not realize what time or day it is. I will never put the book down if i fall in love with the story that the author is telling. These two things have become the most important things in my life and always will be because of the enjoyment I get.

In understanding oneself it is often difficult to remain truthful and unbiased when analyzing our deficiencies and strengths. Nonetheless, on an opposing continuum one faces modesty and simplification in the analyses of the previously mentioned traits. The following self-observation aims to reach an equilibrium in learning about my inner-self.

Were you in jail 3 months ago? What do you value in life? The things you value in life can determine what kind of person you are. If you value something for a long time; then you lose interest it's like you have a new start to life. The lyrics in a song express your values and how you go about life. The type of music you listen is an important value in life. My favorite song is called “There He Go” by Kodak Black, talks about being rich, people surrounding him with guns, and being at the top. I agree with these values and morals because I think they are important in my everyday life. My values are happiness, wealth, and love. I feel that this song goes with all my moral values. People can relate to this song and it can educate people for the better.

Throughout my life many people have caused me to be who I am. Without them I wouldn’t have had the opportunities I have had in my life today. I am thankful that I have been brought up in my family because without them I would be able to acknowledge what could be wrong and what could be right. My family has guided me through tough times and showed me that there is always something to look forward to when you are faced with obstacles. Growing up in my family I have learned that we should not judge a person whether they have a different skin color, belief, idea, religion or whether they are gay, straight, bi-sexual etc. I have learned to accept differences and make sure everyone is treated fairly. My friends have also had a great impact on my opinions on people due to the fact that not everyone will be the same. It is good to accept others who are different and may not fit in. In my life as a young teen, I have learned the importance of being a good leader, which also ties into the importance of responsibility and loyalty.
