From my first days at The College of Wooster, I can tell that I will be aptly prepared to have a successful future both during college and beyond. I’ll immediately be challenged and engaged by the First Year Seminar which will provide me with opportunities to make friends, engage in a topic of interest, and further develop my writing skills.

Our emotions in many cases affect our perception of events as well as the actions that we take ourselves by permeating our way of thinking, and therefore affecting each thing that we do in that moment. In particular, emotions about the perception of ourselves have been shown to have both the ability to positively and negatively affect our actions and performances in life. This is what can be

The concept may sound reliable, however, there isn’t any set of ground rules to carry it out. That is to say as much of this sounds ideal in the article, however, doesn’t translate well to the real world. Frankly, emotions are hard to handle or even interpret because of many factors, especially since it one’s personal response on how they feel at a given time. The article proposes great points of views which provide many examples, especially of prominent people like Plato, Elias, and Durkheim. With these authors credited in, it provides the article with reliability. Furthermore, the article is well researched based on the findings and is logically

Emotions are a necessary part of our whole humanity. They may be more than we have learned to be comfortable with, but they are not too much.

Endeavoring to take out human emotions from something that clearly involves a great deal of “humanity” is something that is not possible. Take the case of John in the Good Samaritan experiment, where a man is calling out to him for help. John might be the kindest man alive, but there’s little to do if John simply does not feel like helping the man. Sure, the odds of John actually helping the man; especially of he’s the kindest man in the whole wide world, is pretty big, but it does not deal with the fact that John might not just want to lend a hand. He might have had a wonderful day or a miserable one, but if John doesn’t want to help, then John doesn’t.

People are shaped into individuals through many defining attributes – from the way we communicate and the way we express ourselves to a person’s morals and ethics. Coincidentally, these are all linked through one major omniscient trait – emotions. Emotions contain a wide spectrum of subcategories, but these can basically be broken down into the two elementary divisions: happiness and sadness. These ups and downs are crucial for people to be themselves; to have their own stories and experiences to tell.

This writing activity is a great way for me to think beyond what I thought about something before. I feel that it was a way to keep an open mind at different issues and to know what’s right and wrong with the issue. It was difficult to believe something that I doubt. It was hard for me to think about what is so great about a specific assertion and also how can I show that I believe it with all my heart. It was also hard to give details about an assertion that I doubt. It is easy to write about something that you doubt because you know a great amount of information about it, but when you have to write in a way to believe in it, it is hard to do so because you just never thought about believing in it. Doing this activity made me take a

Whether a crowd of people will respond to enthusiastic prompts relies on upon the passionate condition of the gathering of people too. A troubled individual may be more oppositional and less helpless against being influenced by feeling (unless the passionate demonstration improves him feel for the occasion). In this way, notwithstanding believability, we must consider whether the communicator and the message are making the gathering of people feel great or not. Messages that expand the group of onlookers' self-preferring or satisfaction in the minute have more

During the hearing, Paul doesn’t comprehend why his teachers are offended by his actions, or the gravity of the situation. The professors at Paul’s school consider the carnation in his buttonhole “not properly significant of the contrite spirit befitting a boy under the ban of suspension.” They think it is a flippant sign of Paul’s superiority and his disdain for them, they are offended that Paul is not more apologetic for how he has behaved in classes. “In one class he habitually sat with his hand shielding his eyes…in another, he made a running commentary on the lecture, with humorous intention.” Paul thinks himself so haughty that he blatantly ignores his instructor. This conduct serves as an illustration of his belief that his is above them, it is furthermore, an attempt to dissociate himself from the average person. The arrogance he displays, and the way he demeans the faculty is directly related to the lack of empathy among narcissistic people. Paul ignores the teaching staffs concerns during the hearing, and continues smiling and toying with the buttons of his

The internship for Optimist International has turned out to be more than I could have ever expected. It all started with a bit of luck as I missed out on the initial internship that included assisting two managers that were in charge of an annual convention in New Orleans and an annual golf tournament located in Florida. Instead, I was tasked with assisting the convention director with the tasks leading up to the convention. As I settled into the internship the tasks quickly evolved in to a variety of tasks that covered a large number of aspects in the business world. In the beginning of the internship, it felt like I had to prove myself to the management involved, but as the internship moved on, I believe I gained more trust with the faculty and I began to get tasks associated directly with management. There was an onsite representative in New Orleans that was in charge of finding community service opportunities that members could participate in the buildup to convention. I was tasked with setting up the time and dates for an emergency kit assembly project for Save the Children and helping paint two rooms at a local culinary school for at-risk teens, called Café Hope. I was able to reach out to contacts with

Alcoholism and the addiction to any drug destroy lives, families and financial security. Growing up with an alcoholic as a parent not only tore my family apart to the point of divorce in 2013; but also left me as a financial insecure college student and a supporter for my younger sister through the years to come. Faced with the sudden tasks of paying for myself and raising my sister, I struggled to through the semesters trying to pay rent and be at home. Academically, I was disappointed in myself and knew I needed to make a change. Through many appointments through the success center, I became proactive to take control of the difficult situation I was in. Though I am still in this situation today, I have learned to time-manage and prioritize

It is important for children to understand their feelings and emotions as this may help overcome depressive symptoms. Therefore it is important that they are

Emotions can lead us to the strangest of things. “ Parents lose their cool and bark hateful things at their children that they later regret. Adolescents who were best friends before a jealous spat vow to never speak again” (Emotion Regulation in Everyday Life 13). People act out of emotions and often regret what is said or done because
