What Does Public School Mean To You

Second, I have also learned the importance of the ‘forgive and forget’ mentality. Having practice every day, it is easy to get on each others nerves. However, it is important to realize that every day is a new day. Before coming to a conclusion, it is crucial to listen to both sides and also take emotions into consideration.

Once the school year started I was able to start talking to kids that came from others schools that were not from Mueller and make friends quickly. Now I have some of the greatest friends. Also about three months ago I had my quince and yes I was not shy or anything, but I didn't really dance much at my party because I didn't really feel comfortable doing it yet . A week later It was the school dance and at first I was just sitting down because I have always been like scared to dance in front of people, but not that long after I was dancing with all my friends. Now I have better social skills. Not so long ago I had to start going to a church youth group. I was scared because I knew that I was not going to know anyone. When I got there the first few times I was nervous and scared to go but then I met this guy named Gabriel and since the moment I met him I could be myself around him and know he is a good friend from the group.

Sorry is not hard to say to someone when you know you are wrong and you’re the person who causes it. Saying sorry does make the situation a lot better for you and the other person. Also, knowing when to stop and thinking before we speak would make the situation a lot better. Dr. Cullen had us do a breathing activity and explain to us that when you take a breath, it gives you time to think and stop you for saying something you’re going to regret

People make mistakes all the time; therefore, they use apologizes to show the respect, politeness, and regret in order to appeal to the other person. Apologizing is a key technique for people to communicate. Apologies are usually used when a person makes a mistake and wants to correct it, but sometimes the ways people use them can change the purpose of the apologizes.

Even if it is just apologizing for something you have done, it can make a big difference in the minds of most people. It takes a big person to apologize for something, even though deep down you do not necessarily want to. In the mistake that I made recently, which I do not really want to get into details about, I wrote a letter to apologize for what I had done. I wanted to write it but at the same time I didn’t. I knew as soon as it happened that it was wrong and I should not have done it, but at the same time I am not really sure if I wanted to apologize for it.

Picture a small wimpy shy boy who did “average” at school and was never did anything at all - that was me. Before not all my attentions were key on school, it was focused on more on myself than anything else, which is atrocious looking back at it. In the beginning of freshman year I was very insecure with myself, I honestly was not able to talk to any

Playgrounds have always held a special place in my heart, most specifically the swing set. The simple mechanisms of the back and forth motion, the arch of lift and drag, seeing how far I could recline at the apex of the swing before my descent started. As a kid, I would often pretend I was flying, that If I just let go of the chains I could end up next to the birds. But as I grew up I noticed that the swings were much more interesting than I once thought, I could start it myself, and continue for hours with just the same effects as when it started. I could stop the swings myself even at their highest velocity with a passenger. You didn't even need to swing a swing, you could twist the chains around, over and over, till you were green and dizzy.

With no friends I didn’t really have much confidence due to not having a lot of supportive people in my life and I began to feel that no one would care for me. It took a lot of work but I finally made a friend in 6th grade and my friend helped me a lot with coming out of my shell and not be so shy. She also introduced me to a lot of my other friends I had at the time and it really helped me out a lot because they were all in similar situations that I

The ability to pluck up the courage is to sincerely apologise is one of the most important skills you will learn in life and especially it becomes handy with the people you love. Asking apology is way too hard for those people who aren't ready enough to explain. Robert Brault is the one who wrote the quote “life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got”. He is a free-lance writer.

give me more confident to social with other person and how to speak with them.

When we hurt someone, whether intentionally or accidentally, a sincere well stated apology can usually fix it. In the well-stated apology, the offender takes responsibility for a specific offense, and makes expressions of regret sincere, timely and brief. Giving an appropriate apology is a skill that can be learned. Many think that if no harm was intended, no apology is required. Not so. I would not intentionally spill ink on my neighbor’s carpet, but I sincerely regret the spilling, and I am responsible for the damage that was done. Sincerity is of course the most important ingredient in an expression of regret. A sincere apology requires the person who has offended to take responsibility for the offence. For example, "I’m sorry I didn’t make

At my old school, I was always the shy kid in the class, which meant that the teachers would just ignore me because I wouldn’t cause any trouble. I would always be scared to raise my hand in fear that I would say something stupid and embarrass myself in front of the whole class. But the worst thing was that I was WAY ahead of my class. I would always finish at least 15 min before anyone else, but since I never raised my hand or spoke up I would just sit in my desk as bored as can be. After a while, I learned the reason that I was too scared was because I did not have enough confidence. Since then I have always made sure to have confidence. I think it is the most important virtue to have.

The evidence is clear that if people apologize, it is easier to forgive. Forgiveness, though, is not limited by that. You can forgive even if the person utters no conciliatory words and suffers no apparent consequence, because forgiveness is always for you (Baker, 2008). You forgive by remembering what is was that happened and you commit yourself to it never happening again. However, you can remember and say, “I am not going to suffer anymore. Instead, I am going to bring some goodness to the people in my life. It is an active quality. It has nothing to do with forgetting.

I believe that everybody should be confident and stand up for themselves. I believe in this very much and I always will. I believe in my statement because of an experience I had last year, in eighth grade. I had gone to a private school with less than three hundred kids from grades k-8 from second grade to the end of seventh. It was a small school and it was very clicky. Everyone knew each other and whenever a student would leave, everyone would literally get mad at them, even the teachers. I think I’ve gotten my point across that the private school was not preparing me for real life. I made an independent decision to leave that school that had held the people who I considered family. I decided to go to public school for the first time since second grade, and I didn’t realize how nervous I was until I found myself standing alone in a corner on the first day of eighth grade at a place that I had never imagined myself attending. I didn’t really know how to socialize with new people because I had been so used to the same people for six and a half years. People thought I was awkward or shady. Everyday I hoped someone would come up to me and befriend me, but this didn’t happen until the second week of school. I was sitting at a sticky lunch table by a few acquaintances when a girl tapped my shoulder and asked me to follow her. In my head, I was confused because she was considered a “popular” girl. As I followed her out of the cafeteria, she said “You’re about to get yelled at.

Another interesting experience that helped me gain confidence was my speech communications class with my professor, Mrs. Larson. I knew I didn't have any trouble with talking to a group of people. I love to tell jokes and stories to many people at one time, but I was nervous and somewhat embarrassed about preparing some boring speech and making everyone else suffer by listening to it. Mrs. Larson explained that we all have problems with this and that it can be overcome. I remember something simple she said that stuck in my mind: "The only way to get over the fear of something is to just do it." She was right. As I had to go up to give the speech, her words constantly kept running through my mind. After the speech, I realized that we were all in the same boat suffering from the same seasickness- nervousness, We all had to give speeches. No one was out to criticize anyone else and we all ended up supporting each other! I learned that I could make a "boring" speech interesting if I have fun with it and feel comfortable as the speaker of the moment.
