Personal Narrative: My Recalculating Directory

Here is my personal story about resilience. When my dad left my mom she had it hard,we had it hard she worked more and we never saw her that much. She was depressed she never ate and she never looked happy. She saw that we were upset and said “ even though it’s rough now we will bounce back don't let this situation stress you and I didn't. And that day my mom changed,we changed we were happier we went out more.

Resilience, when asked to define and explain the act of being resilient, can be a hard thing to describe. It is something everyone must be at one point in their lives, and what some people must be every day. There are different levels to it, depending on what the person is going through at the time. However, resilience is commonly described as just staying strong in a tough situation or time in a person’s life. When something goes wrong, or something bad happens, the person affected doesn’t let it break them. They stand strong against whatever is being thrown at them, but they bend when they need to. Someone who is resilient is flexible, making sure they don’t crack under pressure. As Robert Jordan said in The Fires of Heaven, “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.”

Resilience is about being independent, standing on your own two feet or taking back the power.

Resilience is the power or the ability to return to the original form. “Resilience is born by grounding yourself in your own loveliness, hitting notes you thought were way out of your range” (94). Father Gregory Boyle says this because he knows that resilience is needed in order to change. Resilience is important because we can become better people by doing things, we thought we couldn’t do. In the book, Tattoos on the Heart, The Power of Boundless Compassion, by Father Gregory Boyle, resilience is essential in our lives because it is the key to do better.

Resilience is defined as, “the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens” (Merriam Webster par 1). Resilience is shown when people use their strength when dealing with adversity. When people are experiencing negative circumstances resilience may lead to positive outcomes (PBS Par 1).

My major support people are my family members. My family members support every decisions that I made throughout my life even if they did not agree with it. My family is the only one I can count on with supporting me especially my mother. My mother always know what best for me and always tell me pray about it. I live in ethnic community which is pronioity African American.

In my Family, I have both of my parents in my life, Marco and Vanessa Magallanes. I also have three sisters, Soleil, Victoria and Christina. They all support me in my career that I want to undertake in the future and that is to become a Trauma Surgeon. In recent years my family has had

Hi Professor. while I was taking the quiz run out time, I did not realized the time was ending. So did not get a time to send, I answered all questions, but  I was rechecking to make sure it all right and saved. I think it were couple of questions that I did not saved too. I real liked having second

My practical thinking skills and organizational skills help me be a person who's always ready and on time as well as the type of person who can take her ideas and dreams and make them goals and achievements. These traits assure me of my bright and fulfilling future as a person, and worker. My creative thinking skills are my lower intelligence traits, and I am not much of a giver, but I still consider them to be some of my best skills. These less dominant traits can help me develope in these certain areas of my life too. I know I can't be one thing, or asses one skill, I have to have a balance of all the skills I need if I want to succeed educationally, professionally, and as well personally. I don't exactly excel in the academics, and I'm not as sociable as I'd want to be, and I believe that's because the fact that I haven't attempted to access these lower traits, I've hindered my opportunity to be better than I currently am. If I took the time to be a more creative and analytical thinker, I would see such an improvement in my grades and academic life. I'm not that great at retaining information or finding ways to remember things, but moving and being active while I learn I heard helps a great deal. I could lose some stress that I've been holding onto making it easier to study, and make things easier to remember, because I can associate the things I did

This is an extremely difficult task for me to describe in phrases, for my family is chemically and physically bonded. Also, there are no words to say how much my parents shower their endless love on me. They have tenaciously supported me from the very start. My mother and father’s dedication, hard work, and selfless sacrifices remind me of the story “The Giving Tree.” Their efforts and guidance in molding me as a better person has been an incredible contraption in my journey of life. Next, the steps that they have taken to disciplining me has comfortably taken me through school, extra classes, and public places. The most inspirational people in my life are my parents; as they are the best role model I could ever get. Their intricate quality

When I heard a term called resilience, I have no idea about it and think that it is not related to me. After I had a lecture with a topic resilience. I realize it is necessary and I need to face many adversity in my life. Also, I remember something happened in my past are shown my resilience level. I would like to share the story in my life to show the factors which are indicated in the last part can show resilience level.

My family means everything and more to me. They are my support, backbone, and give me the motivation to put forth my best efforts in everything I do. When I decided to start a new path after my Marine Corps career, going to school was one of many options I had. With the encouragement and support of my family I made the choice to go back to college eventually pursuing my dreams of attending TCU. When I made that choice I made a commitment to them to be the best student possible. My first year in college was an experience that was different than anything I was used to but I stayed true to my commitment earning academic honors, and scholarships. Every decision I make I do so with my family in mind.

I believe it is one of the major determinants of resilience. Having personal attributes such as calm, patience and adventurous will facilitate us to become a more resilient person. We will not become panic-stricken and lose control of ourselves when we encounter adversity. Other positive traits such as cheerful and optimistic can also conduce to resiliency. It can help us to find positive meanings in our lives despite adversity. On the contrary, negative traits such as pessimistic, impulsive and emotionally unstable can affect our resiliency and also our well-being.

I can identify the key feature of problems. I can identify the solutions, options. I think creatively think about problem and plan and implement proper course of action.
