Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of

Erik Erikson believed that a person’s personality developed through these eight stages. Trust Vs. Mistrust, Autonomy Vs. Shame and Doubt, Initiative Vs. Guilt, Industry Vs. Inferiority, Identity Vs. Role Confusion, Intimacy Vs. Isolation, Generativity Vs. Stagnation, and Integrity Vs. Despair. During each stage will resolve negative or positive, with each outcome it will affect your ability to deal with the next one. According to Erik Erikson, you must resolve positively before you can master another stage. For an example, if you fail to meet the first stage “Trust vs. Mistrust,” than you will possibly fail the subsequent stages. Now Erik Erikson focused on personality development but, Jean Piaget focused on cognitive development. Cognitive development is a person’s ability to think and give

Creating a personal development plan involves more than simply contemplating what you want from your life and how to go about achieving it. If you want to create a personal development plan that helps you to achieve your goals, preparation is the key. To prepare, one must have a great deal of self-awareness. This includes clear understanding of personal values and ethics, analyzing personality characteristics, evaluation of learning styles and identifying strengths, weaknesses, motivators, opportunities and threats.

Some key personality concepts that define who I am is introvert, intuitive, intuitive feeling, and judging. Introverted intuition allows me to appreciate a better clarity of perception of inner unconscious techniques. It allows me to act spontaneously and insightful as original resolutions present themselves, on a case by case basis. Basically this means that I follow my intuition and not how I may sense something.

The main feature of PALS is combining theory with practice. Learning by doing is one of the primary forces of evolution. Even the most primitive creatures like dinosaurs learn their living skills such as haunting and fighting from their own experience, let alone advanced creatures like human-beings (Mike, 2011). After loads of practices, we can carry on with good methods and refrain from bad methods. And that’s why PALS attach great importance on practice. Successful training must be generalized to the job condition and maintained for a period of time (James Coloma, 2010). The factors influencing the transfer of training include training design factors like whether it is didactic-oriented or experiential-oriented in the program, as well as work environment factors like supervisory and peer support, and constraints and chances of perform learned skills in the job context (Harvey, 2010). PALS did well in increase the rate of transfer of training, encouraging all members to put up with questions and present their studying. Students are greatly inspired in the process.

There are many definitions and theories regarding personality. Though there isn’t one specific definition that is acceptable for all the different personality theories, I believe that personality is the outward expression of ones beliefs, morals, and emotions; each of which define and differentiate an individual. Personality is seen to be a pattern of somewhat permanent traits and unique characteristics that give both consistency and distinctiveness to a person's behavior. Learning about the different theorist’s and their work has allowed me to broaden my horizon’s regarding my opinions on the different theories. Though I find many aspects of the different theories applicable to ones personality, I also find points where I don’t necessarily agree with them in regards to ones personality.

Within the report, I will be discussing my own personal experiences with PDP and what I have learned, achieved and developed during my first year at the university, by using PDP and also how it has affected my academic as well as other employability skills.

Johnny's mother would buy him treats and shower him with kisses while johnny other two siblings were given the cold shoulder by thier mother. Johnny felt a great amount of guilt, remorse and sadness and wished that his mother could give his siblings the same love she gives him.

The behavior of a person, and hence the society, is largely determined by the personality of such a person. Personality is very instrumental in building a person’s character that is very deterministic in defining how people relate to one another in a society. There exists some great differences on how Americans interrelate to one another and how the Chinese interrelate to one another.
