By the time you turn 18 and move to college, you think you know yourself pretty well. Taking the StrengthsFinder Quiz presented me confirmation of some things I saw in myself before and brought an aspect out that I hadn’t recognized before. The five themes I was said to exemplify most are belief, relator, harmony, empathy, and connectedness. Having belief represents being driven by my beliefs and rarely stray from them as they serve as my purpose in life. Relator means I appreciate having very close relationships with a small group of. Harmony stands for my dislike of conflict. Having empathy means I am aware of other people’s emotional state and try to relate to them. Lastly, connectedness states that I believe everything happens for a reason. According to this quiz, these are my five strongest traits and the people I love most seem to agree with me in our reactions to them. Out of the 34 possible themes, these five were chosen to represent me. After talking with my mom, brother, and boyfriend, we all agreed that the five altogether represented me almost perfectly. However, the ones we thought were most like me were belief and relator. I most certainly live by my beliefs. I have some of the strongest beliefs and they guide every aspect of my life. As for relator, I am someone who loves to have a small, close-knit group of friends rather than a large group of friends. I enjoy getting to know people on a personal level and want to connect with people. I believe all five of
First, the physical self on the medicine wheel consists of how well one is meeting their physical needs. Fulfilling these needs helps to maintain a healthy body and consist of adequate oxygen/air quality, water, food, exercise, rest/sleep, shelter, and clothing. (Eden & Golanty, 2004; Mussel, 2005). Personally, due to where I live and my socioeconomic status I can fulfill these needs. However, I do not because it is difficult to find balance in my life. On most days I do not consume enough nutritious food or drink enough water. Instead, because it is available, I eat a lot of junk food which causes me a lack of energy throughout my day. Another deficiency that affects my energy level is my lack of sleep. I get enough rest throughout the
What are some of your earliest memories? Are they mainly joyful or painful? Identify one specific early memory and reflect on the significance this early recollection has for you. What value do you see in the Adlerian technique of having group members recall their earliest memories? Can you think of ways to use this technique in groups you may lead?
The clocks at LIH appeared to be online and communicating to the WDM. I began my check to start data collection that is when I realized the clocks are not operating normally. I tried to reboot, initialize, and test both clocks though it appeared the clocks were in the process of successfully completing the task, it failed. Within the last two hours, I managed to get both clocks to complete a data collection successfully. I contacted Kari, LIH Coordination Center and request to have a TSO swipe their badge on both clocks located at the Checkpoint and Break Room, respectively.
The first student to perform for the fundraiser was Candy Tsai. She performed Arabeske, Op.18. Candy tends to use more of her arm muscles when playing rather than wrists. She sets a great example of pedal use throughout her piece. Although she uses pedal, she distinguishes her articulation correctly. Overall, she was fantastic but could use more dynamic contrast. The next student to perform for the fundraiser was Joshua Tessler. As a performer, he did not start until he made adjustments to the seat. Once he was comfortable, one could see how graceful he was. He was constantly moving throughout his piece and at one point, he crosses his hands to perform.
Upon completing the "Self-Assessment on South Asian American Culture Issues", I scored an average of six. I was not surprised at my knowledge of Asian cultures, mainly comprises of cultures pertaining to Japan and China; my knowledge of the South Asian countries is an admitted weakness. Furthermore, I believe my average score correlates to the plethora of cultures within the Asian continent that, while I may have a strong baseline understanding of Asian culture, there is significant diversity within Asian continent countries that more in depth cultural learning is required. For instance, learning more about reticence, where youth are preferred to be seen and not heard was an unknown cultural concept to me. Likewise, I was aware of the myriad
Overall, I’d say that the data gathered from others is reasonably similar to my own interpretation of my best self. The general meaning of themes are all similar to what I’d mention, besides the caring theme, but I’d say that when you look at the specifics and see why others believe that this is a theme of my best self compared to why I see it as part of my best self, some clear differences occur. I believe the best way of demonstrating this is by looking at each theme individually.
For two weeks, I monitored my unhealthy habit of the over-consumption of sugar every day. Previous to making changes in my behavior, I consumed a sugary treat on average once daily. Upon taking on the challenge to change my behavior, I had to make a few adjustments to my daily routines which influenced my behavior. My first small goal was to eat only one sweet treat per week for a month. I did not meet this goal; however, my behavior has improved and I have eaten less sweets than normal.
As a student, I have always been very dedicated in school. I like to be an honor roll student. I am not comfortable if I get a grade below eighty. I give my best to succeed in school. If I want something I fight for it until I obtain what I want. I try to do all my work on school so I won’t have homework and be more concentrated in it. I’ve always been the student

It’s a day in mid-July right before my freshman year and marching band is about to start. My mom has the day off because in order for me to be in the band, I have to go to the doctors to get a sports physical. The nurse calls me to the back and tells me, “Okay Maryna, we’re going to weigh you and take your blood pressure.” I am super self-conscious about my weight especially when other people have to see the exact pounds, so hearing that and knowing I have to get on a scale in front of my mom and the nurse is the scariest thing I could ever hear. My heart is a train pounding down the tracks. As I took my shoes off to get on the scale I would think to myself, the nurse and doctor are going to talk shit about my weight, my mom is going to be so pissed about how much I’ve gained, What the hell is wrong with me? This is when I realized I have a poor self-esteem.
Over the course of six months, I have become proficient in using the general ledger, purchasing and sales orders/invoice menus in QAD. My process areas involve searching for invoices and purchase orders to solve inventory, AR, AP or fixed asset problems. I am often entering or updating projects in QAD and have learned how to investigate and solve account, sub-account and cost center problems. I have become proficient in how to find, change, upload and post journal entries and account balances within QAD.
Every individual is raised with beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that impact who they are. Children learn from their families about different aspects of religion, race and socioeconomic class that play meaning in their lives. Although culture plays a role in individuality, one must also be able to develop their own beliefs and views, while respecting that of other cultures. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how one’s upbringing and exposers in youth can influence personal attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs throughout life.
I was a quiet child growing up; not necessarily shy, but introverted. Now, I consider myself an extroverted introvert. Growing up, I probably didn’t come across as a leader. My kindergarten teacher wrote in my assessment that I was shy; I didn’t speak up enough for myself when I was bullied throughout my elementary school years, and I probably stood in the shadows more than I realized throughout middle school. I could have been more decisive during high school.
I am now approaching the conclusion of my college career and starting to adjust to work life. This is a period of self-reflection and an attempt to put everything I learned into perspective. During this period of my life, I have been constantly thinking and contemplating my future. I feel very anxious yet nervous during this time while I am adjusting to this new stage of my life. When I was in High school my life was very structured, because I could be very dependent on peoples help and I obviously still lived with my family. When I went to college, I had to break away from that feeling of dependency and start the adjusting to adulthood. In college there was more responsibility and I started to become more independent. This was a crucial step in my life but choosing a career is going to be an even bigger step. It is a bigger step because; I have to start structuring my career goals and family goal for the future. At this moment all I can think about is my career, and how I can I keep improving myself for work life.
To begin I want to state that I had passed all my classes and thus I was allowed to leave early at 1:15 pm. The first week we came back from spring break though, our main goal was to start raising money as fast and efficiently as possible. Starting the week of April 24th my main job in the classroom was contacting and social networking our project, while still helping to fundraise. This week I also created the GoFundMe page and shared it on all my existing social media accounts. My main p.m. goals that week were more centered around linking our prototype ideas and sketches, going to Home Depot for materials. On Friday the 28th, my teammate Laurel and I had to go to set up a conference with City Councilman Mike Bonin. Instead, we set it up with Field Deputy Anna Kozma for the next week.
