Self discovery

This journey of “self discovery” is definitely a controversial topic, considering we’re talking about someone who is portraying a hermaphrodite and this book isn’t for everyone due to its beliefs, though Ana Clavel definitely has an interesting way of thinking and imagination that helped her create this book with all its taboos in intriguing, convincing and controversial

I got a 39 within UCLA Loneliness Scale on the textbook and I was surprised with my result because I did not know that my score has been this higher compared to other men scale which is average of 32. I did not feel any anxiety and fear when I took this scale in the textbook because I feel very confident with myself and relationships with other people. I always trying to respect other people during the conversations nor hanging out with them during a free time because they were always respect me as well all the time. Furthermore, I always listen to other people who needs advice because I want to help them with my experiences. Therefore, they could think that other people have hard times just like anybody else and it could happen to be anytime.

I deserve to be happy. I am in control of how I see myself and anyone who disagrees with that is not someone I want in my life. I’ve reached a much better place mentally than where I was. My self-image was something I battled with for all of middle school and I still battle it now. To truly change one’s opinion is an extremely difficult task. That day in the gym was when it all began. Two years later when I went to the doctor’s office was when I realized how bad it had become. Today is when I realize that I am in so much of a better place that I can write this all down, I can understand and reflect about my feelings in the past tense. I love myself and a month ago, a year ago, two years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to type that

Where I am today being not exactly what was planned, besides the idea of attending college has played into my advantage. Though the way I have gone about getting this far was not a very easy task. The abilities I had to learn and implement to successfully achieve this step-in life; would by most people be considered challenging. These abilities consist of my strengths, qualities, and characteristics that were either self-taught or picked up by the environment I was raised in.

I recognized I was “other” at the age of 4 and 17. I was tease about my accent entering into pre-school and mocked in college. I’m from a Jamaican Descent, we speak “patios” and it was a language spoken in my household growing up. I never forgot where my family came from and our family kept us cultural linked to our heritage. As a child, I never understood which made me feel uncomfortable about my accent. My surrounding grew cultural diverse and was economically embraced. Growing up, everybody wanted to be Jamaican. It was a cultural shock attending Alabama State University in the south. Though I was mocked, southern loved how I spoke and became memorized by my voice. I understood young that people are brought up differently, view life differently, reacts differently and respond differently.

Cold is a subjective term used to describe the feeling of the absence of heat, and without light, there is only darkness. One of these can only exist with the existence of the other and in spite of it. She could be compared to the times when this rule was ignored; the cool day was filled with kinetic energy, and the pitch-black room was spilling over with the brightest light that anyone had ever seen. This, however, did not mean that she was full of light and warmth, but rather that she encompassed both the dark and the light while she had no ties to either side. This quality is negligible in most scenarios, and in many, she could romanticize herself into an edgy wanderer with a greater understanding than that of her peers. Although, when she faced a massive dilemma, she could not find a way to rationalize her inability to commit into something amazing. There was no way that she could make sense of how quickly she lost hope in her relationship with the knowledge that someone else in the world cared about her.

In today’s society it is somewhat difficult to truly be yourself. With today’s technology and social media it is very easy to be influenced by others, therefore eliminating individuality. Even though some people are able to figure out who they really are, it is often difficult to be proud of the person you are which, as a result, often leads people to ditch their own personality and fall into the crowd. Mark Twain states that, “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” This proves the belief that in order to truly be yourself you must first accept who you are.

It has always surprised me how much you can learn about yourself by taking risks. Whether the risk you take is large or small, the impact can be immense. I have noticed that every notable risk I have taken has been followed or even preceded by a time of meditation and self-discovery. While it may sound corny or clichéd to some, learning about how you handle the decisions you make can greatly affect how you handle difficult choices that you may face in the future. The knowledge of yourself that you gain can be as miniscule as a new preference of music or food, or as impactful as a new chapter of your life beginning as a door closes in your past.

Throughout my life, I picked up multiple hobbies which soon turned into talents of mine. One of those hobbies was centered around art. In elementary school, I was guilty of not paying much attention in many of my classes (except Art and Music class, of course). Many important lectures and classwork assignments were spent doodling in my notebooks. After several years, people began to notice my random doodles as actual pieces of artwork. This surprised me, in fact, that I began checking out drawing book upon drawing book from my school’s library.

The high social demands of school often lead to young people with autism experiencing high levels of anxiety or stress and require support to develop emotional management skills. They may possess limited self-awareness and therefore may not be aware of internal feelings or mood states. Understanding self-awareness may require focused teaching. Specialist approach-es to teaching personal understanding of their own condition may be required. Individuals may develop more awareness of their differences within a mainstream peer group. This may be re-flected in difficulties building positive self-esteem. Information gathered from their profile will identify abilities and strengths to be built

The first section of this paper will contain a self-analysis utilizing self-assessments, class discussions, assignments, and the assigned reading materials. The self-analysis portion of this paper will contain several important topics that we discussed during class along with my assessment of how I view myself with respect to these topics with the goal of identifying the deficiencies and gaps that I see. The action-plan portion of this assignment will contain the framework for turning the deficiencies that I have identified into strengths through constant practice and patience on my journey to level three leadership. The self-analysis portion will hope to determine the “why” I did not get the manager position currently available

Francesca Battistelli wrote the lyrics “I'm free to be me.” In this lyric she explains that that everyone has a right to be themselves. In a world that is constantly trying to change everyone, there's not many people willing to be different. Being unique is what sets you apart from the changing world we live in. Personally i think being yourself is a bigger accomplishment because of happiness, it's easier to follow rather than lead and no insecurities

For someone to fully discover their truest and most authentic self, that person must first go deep into their beliefs and accept what they think is really right. A person must explore their soul and to fully contribute to the knowledge and wisdom they have gathered in their life. Chris must have reached his "tapping out" stage to have to want to leave society and go off on his own. He must have been tired of everything and and just wanted to go out and explore what's ahead.

I was a fourth-grade fireman, when I was overpowered by the frightening challenge. For 10 years, “BE PROUD” meant to be honest with myself. Not to be one of the great ones, not even very good. Just to try my best. That is all we can ask of ourselves, even if at times we fall short.

Throughout the course of our existence we search for ourselves and what makes us truly happy. It makes sense that when we do not feel happy or content with ourselves that we find a way to change that. That’s where my adventure begins and continues to this day. This entire chapter of my life has been a battle with family, friends, and myself. I still think that no matter what others think my happiness and love for myself is more important. There’s times I let others opinions go before my mental health, I’ve always worried what others think. It may be why I still have problems today with this topic around my parents. The more I grow up the more I realize I don’t have to be what everyone else has labeled me as, I can be myself and be happy.
