I was second grader and departing for America, my friend and I were saying goodbye in front of the airport. He shouted to me in a way that everyone could hea r, just before I got inside, that I have to get into the airplane barefooted. I put my shoes in my carriage as he said. I didn't realize single thing before the man next to me burst into laughter and told me that there is no such rule as being barefooted. My friend always was my best friend as we went to the same school, same church and lived in the same apartment. However, my expectation for the airplane was satisfied as they had a television and I was overwhelmed by its enormous size. Unfortunately, I ate some meats and potatoes in the airplane despite my mom's commandment, "don't eat …show more content…
My only unchallenging subject was math, which I finished the worksheet in a minute when everyone was taking an hour. I considered the worksheet as a prank for me as the worksheet questions about basic math. They were surprised about it as I was so fast, but in my mind, they were just surprised as they figured out that a monkey could solve a math problem. I probably had lowest self-esteem in my life at that moment as I couldn't understand anything. It was 7 in the morning when I got up and I prayed to God to please tell me that the clock was discontinuous, however, the clock was vigorous as me and I said some inappropriate words to myself as I was dreadful to go to the school. After a few minutes of eating some cereals, I started my second school day, which was a total disaster. After the lunchtime, I had to do something what all human does in the bathroom and I didn't know how to say "May I go to Bathroom". I thought my thing would pop up. I held for 3 hours, which was forever for me and this time was much longer than when I was in the airplane. After school, I sprinted faster than Usain Bolt into the bathroom, and released powerfully than God flushing his toilet. As I was thinking about my day on the way to home, I promised to myself that I will never allow this thing to happen again and become fluent in English one day. I learned the significance of language that …show more content…
My first order was successful, and I felt I could do whatever I want and I was proud of myself, however, I still failed the English class. Also, I used to laugh when everyone was laughing even though I couldn't understand why, but I finally figured out what they are saying. After a short length of time, I had to go back to my home country and I felt disconsolate as I was inquisitive of knowledges and still occupied a tiny knowledge. I finally understood why parents say happiness comes from enlightenments. But it was just a moment in the airplane. Soon after, I landed at the airport and I felt extreme happiness that was indescribable in words as I could tell and listen to other people. It felt like I regained my identity again. My friend was waiting there and I spoke everything I could say even though it didn't make sense at
Most people face self esteem problems at different levels. At some point in life people face this problem without realizing it. In the essay The Trouble with Self-Esteem written by Lauren Slater starts of by demonstrating a test. Self esteem test that determines whether you have a high self-esteem or low self-esteem. The question to be answered however is; what is the value and meaning of self-esteem? The trouble with self-esteem is that not everyone approaches it properly, taking a test or doing research based of a certain group of people is not the way to do so.
The history of self-esteem can be traced back throughout time. In this section we have a critical look at the self-esteem movement.
This study examines the relationship between self-monitoring and self-esteem. 150 college students from De La Salle University, Manila participated in this study. By using Self-Monitoring Scale (SMS) and Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS), the participants were asked to answer these questionnaires. The ratings from the scales were used to measure participants’ self-monitoring and self-esteem. Based on the results of this study, coherent with the previous studies on the topic, it could be inferred that self-monitoring of a person whether high or low of has a significant effect on self- esteem may it be high or low. Findings show that with r = -0.92, there is a strong relationship between self-monitoring and self-esteem of
In this task I will compare two theories of self-esteem which contribute to our understanding of self-concept. The theories which I will be focused on are Bowlby’s and Harter’s.
Many teens go through hard times. Sometimes it’s so rough that it makes them doubt themselves and tears down their self-esteem. When people don’t have self-respect, they may not be able to make decisions for themselves. They could be forced into situations that they may or may not want to be in. It’s a lot easier for people to take advantage of them and this could lead to the person being cheated out of things. With the world we live in, it is best for one to develop self respect early on in order to be able to survive in this world full of people that are just waiting for the right opportunity.
Before I took the Self-Esteem survey quiz, I expected my results to fairly low. I knew I never had the best esteem, but once I started to fill in and circle the true or false answers, I was surprised to see some of my answers were more positive than others! I knew for a fact I was reclusive and sort of timid because of my lack of confidence and my own poor self-observation. However, once I saw questions like pride in work, or confidence in achieving goals, I realized I had grown and had more self-confidence than what I gave myself credit for.

One part of the brain is the Brain Stem. It control the heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. The brain stem also consists of the medulla, midbrain, and the pons. The medulla controls the body functions. The midbrain regulate body movement, hearing, and vision. The pons controls the posture, movements, and sleep. I would hate to have this part of my brain damaged because it controls some of the most important parts of my body such as my heart. It can cause behavioral impairments.
At the end of my class of algebra finished my second class was social studies, thank God my class was only three rooms away from my algebra class. The class started and all the kids looked at me with a bad face, then the teacher asks to take out our books to read and I started to shake and pray that please he would make me read because I didn’t know a single word in English. Unfortunately, I had bad luck and he asked me to read I started swearing I was super nervous, I didn’t know what to do, I right away felt that they all were looking at me, I did not know why I decided to read, I hadn’t read one sentence and the whole class started
A number of studies have been conducted to identify the impact on stigma when explained by the biomedical or psychosocial model. Lebowitzand Ahn (2014, as cited in Haslam & Kvaale, 2015)completed three studies to determine the level of empathy towards patients by American mental health clinicians when present with biomedical or psychosocial vignettes. The study found a greater level of empathy was afforded to those whose condition was explained psychosocially rather than biogenetically. Clinicians who viewed patients condition biogenetically, were less likely to be empathetic towards their patients and their lack of warmth eroded their relationship with the patient, potentially leading to patients ultimately refusing treatment. In addition
I attended a public school in my neighborhood, it was filled with mostly African Americans, wasn’t very diverse. It was the last day of school before summer started; I was in the 2nd grade. My teacher was calling us up to her desk one by one; she had our report card, along with a certificate that congratulated you for exceeding to the next grade. She called my name, my heart started beating really fast, then I saw that her hand only held one paper, and at that moment, I knew that I wasn’t going to the next grade. I never really understood why that happened, I was extremely embarrassed and mostly hurt, I cried and cried and could never understand why, and just seeing my original classmates exceeding to the next grade, and not me, was a lot for me to take in at the age of 8.Then one day I finally understood that there was something that I wasn’t doing right, and it effected me in a lot throughout my school years in elementary school. I found out what was really holding me back and it was
I had some mix feelings about this self-esteem inventory since I personally been dealing with depression for over 10 years. I would say that if I took this exam 6 years ago, I would be rated with sever low self esteem due to how I personally viewed myself. I might of appeared on the outside of having high self confidence, but on the inside I was always critical of myself. Since my treatment and changing the way I view myself, my current score for this inventory is 38. This score somewhat surprised me since I thought it would be lower. I did score over 3 on the "lie scale" which I have mix feelings on but being close to the average male score of 40 makes me feel good. With my recovery, I learned how to fight back the old negative views I had
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (2013), every year approximately 1,825 college students die from alcohol related events. Additionally, over 599,000 college students are injured due to under aged drinking. Finally, its estimated 97,000 students a year are victims of sexual assault as a result of alcohol related situations. These statistics do not lie; under aged alcohol consumption is extremely dangerous and very prominent on college campuses. Here at the University of Illinois, every student is required to attend programming to increase awareness of the dangers of binge drinking. However, adolescent aged individuals are complex and these preventions have not made a great impact. I believe adolescents are
