Hi, y’all. I want you to know that this could get long, but please read it. And I hope it doesn’t sound like I am irritated, I just want you to see how I saw things. Plus, I get my thoughts out better written down than verbally.
First of all, now that I have found my composure, I want to say thank you for saying something last night. I wish you had said something earlier. I really didn’t realize you didn’t feel I was contributing at all. I know Julia was doing more than she should, but I thought I was trying to do what I could. Please accept my apologies and know that my contribution or lack thereof wasn’t conscious or planned – things have just happened.
You are right, I should have asked about the research proposal and offered to write up your notes, but I really thought y’all were writing the whole thing that Saturday. And I was planning on meeting with you until you postponed and didn’t want to do it Sunday, when I could do it. Then I got caught up in my midterm exam, paper and presentation so didn’t really think to find out about the proposal because I knew you had it under control.
As for the focus group, I had asked for the notes as early as possible, but didn’t get them until late afternoon on Friday when I had said I wouldn’t be able to write anything on Saturday. So, Sunday was it. You gave me a bunch of notes so I tried to include everything I could, including my ideas, to be edited down later. I could have edited it down myself. I said it was a rough draft – I asked in my email for you to tell me what changes to make and to email me back about it but Julia went ahead and did it. I didn’t realize you wanted a finished project – I figured you would want some say so in it. Which, it was obvious you did since ideas I had added were removed. And, I did ask people to come to the focus group – they just didn’t come because they didn’t have that Saturday afternoon free. And they were probably people who go out a lot. Plus, I attended the focus group and took notes. All three of us couldn’t have been on camera anyway.
“I was so so sorry, deep in my heart I was sorry, but all your “sorrys” are gone when a person dies. She was gone. Gone. That’s why you have to say all your “sorrys” and “I love yous” while a person is living, because tomorrow isn’t promised.”
From the many non-fiction texts there are, Desert Exile is the next piece to be featured in describing the importance of family. In the reading of Desert Exile, Yoshiko Uchida, the author, talks about what life was like for the Japanese-Americans during World War II. They were taken into internment camps and forced to live in livestock stalls. In the text, Yoshiko Uchida talks about what the weather and how they stuck together when she says, “Shivering in the cold, we pressed close together trying to shield Mama from the wind.” (pg. 302). This is an example of the importance of family because it shows how they are sticking together to protect one member by sacrificing themselves. By sacrificing themselves it shows the unwillingness that being a family can help develop in a
I would like to start my speech today by thanking Richard for his kind words. I am really proud to have become Isia’s husband; ever since the day we met I have been treated as one of the family and this has made our Journey to this day that much smoother! Thank you both for your blessing I promise that I will make you proud and live up to the high expectations I am sure you have! Thank you for everything you have both done in making this day so special if it wasn’t for you I am sure I would still be saving. So far the day has been an amazing experience and I am sure it can only get better.
Annette Baier (1929-), defined that “Trusting can be betrayed, or at least let down, and not just disappointed” (1986, p. 235). An example being we can rely on our clock to give the time, but we do not feel betrayed when it breaks, thus, we cannot say that we trusted it; we are not trusting when we are suspicious of the other person, because this is in fact an expression of distrust (McLeod 2006)
I know sometimes life can be difficult, and I know it’s me who sometimes makes it that way. I can promise you that I don’t do it knowingly and I want the best for you in any possible way. It’s why I’m dedicating this work to you. I know you 're probably proof reading this right now wondering why the hell I gave it to you to proof read, but I know you 'd probably never read it other wise; I know you love me and would do anything for me, but lets face it, it’s true.
How does trust play a factor in the success or failure of a relationship? Trust is one of those things that EVERYONE shouldn’t be afraid to have towards others. If you can’t rely on your spouse then ninety percent of the time, it won’t work out. For example, Lady Macbeth doesn’t trust her husband with any plan. She says that he is too weak to even commit the murder of King Duncan. If you think about scene one, she says he fears of doing anything required to be king. In “My Last Duchess”, the husband did not have faith in his wife because she would look at other men and she wouldn’t even try to hide it. She would do it in front of his face without any concern. It is just very unhealthy for a relationship to not have trust in one another.
Trust is one thing between two people that takes time and effort to build, and as it is growing, a bond between two people can form. This is why some of the longest lasting relationships are formed at a young age. Trust is build on shared experiences, and On the other end of the spectrum, trust can be shattered in a matter of seconds. Once shattered, trust is something that must be wanted to be rebuilt or it will never be the same again. It breaks into a million pieces and all the pieces must be regained and reforged into what it once was. Sadly, more often than not, this does not happen as some of the pieces are
On behalf of the bridesmaids, I’d like to thank you, Victor, for those kind words. It was a pleasure keeping you company at the altar this morning and I’m always pleased to see more of the competition getting married off – especially with all these lovely bridesmaids around.
...ricter with you when it came to him if things would be different. The one thing I didn’t want to do was to be so stubborn about your relationship with him that I would push you toward him more. I think by talking openly with you about him and letting you know how I felt but leaving it up to you was the best way to handle it.”
Ill finish this soon Mrs. Reed, sorry for the late work, it’s been tough to keep up with school with what’s been going on at home, I apologize greatly and hope that you enjoyed reading the roughest of my drafts.
What does trust mean to you? Do you trust everyone close to you, and the people you deal with day to day? The definition of Trust is “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something”. The definition of Trustworthiness is “able to be relied on as honest or truthful”. Trust is one of the most important things to me. I’ve had many people break my trust and its hard to know if someone is genuine and reliable and somebody you actually wanna associate with. People change, that's one big thing I have came to learn throughout the years, there are so many people I thought I knew that turned their backs on me.
Yesterday night when I texted you so much I was out of control, and completely inappropriate. There is so much I want to say to you, but its too late, so I 'll say only what I can here.
Everyone has uncertainly about who to trust, when to trust, and how much to trust. On a daily base we choose whom we trust and whom we don't trust or how much we trust that person. At some points we trust more than we normally would. That's a good thing according to psychologist. “A total lack of mistrust would indicate a serious psychological problem. Judgments about when and whom to trust help keep us safe and alive!”("Find the Right Therapist." Trust Issues: How to Get Over Them in Relationships, Marriage, and Life. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 May 2014). Being mistrusted is a response to being abandoned or betrayed by someone you cared about. “Trust is the foundation for intimate, secure and successful relationships. It must be earned and maintained. But what happens when your trust is violated?”("How to Rebuild Trust After Betrayal." Women's Health Issues. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 May 2014.) Beginning of a relationship seems always to be a perfect and fairytale time. You have trust in each other and everything is amazing, but what will happen if one of them messes up? Do you forgive and forget, or do you start developing trust issues? Many relationships start having problems because they start loosing trust in each other and this leads to break ups or even worse divorce. Trust should be earned, but if you loose someone’s trust it is very difficult to earn it back.
I’m tired, a little stressed and disappointed with some of the group members this week. This has been the most challenging time in group so far. Everything is usually fine, but something is off this week. Although, we have group chats, our group cohesion is off. After, deciding to do the outline one way, we ended up doing it another way. That was cool until individuals brought the confusion. One person thought this way, the other thought that way. It was a mess. Our group dynamics were all over the place. The impact this had on me was very negative. With your help Mrs. Evans, we eventually decided to keep the outline simple. The other group members picked their duties, while mine were assigned to me. It did not bother me that I was assigned duties. Actually, my absence from the meeting helped to decide what I was to do. When it comes to the norming and forming of this group, I find myself at a loss for words. The norming process is off. There is less cohesion than usual; we have not been as effect this week. Also, relationships do not seem to be strengthening. This makes me angry because it affects us all. Unlike the norming stage, the forming stage is pretty solid. All of us are comfortable (in my opinion) giving our opinions, and we understand what is required of us. There is no need to form rules they are already in place. In my opinion, some of the members did not follow the rules. I for one broke a rule.
Trust is believing someone or something is reliable, honest, and effective. In any relationship the people in it need to have trust, so they can be assured that they can share anything with the other person. The movie from 1990 Goodfellas by Martin Scorsese is an example of people having to trust one another. The movie keeps me interested because it keeps you wondering who’s going to be next to be killed even though I have watched it multiple times. If the mob has a problem with you they will deal with you by killing you or your family on easier instances they’ll simply make you disappear. They don’t care if you have been loyal if they lose your trust.
