Recommended: Problem with peer pressure

I think I have changed, but I really don't think I changed that much. I have become more proficient in my class particpation, because I wouldn't want to discuss my answers, because I thought they were to dumb of an answer. Also I was shy to speak out unless they are talking stuff about me. I also have inproved in my organization skills. I improved by it becayuse I steryted to use folders now instead of binders, because I can make each folder into my class, and when I use my binder it would also get messed up. I also liuke it because they're different color for different classes. I have become better at completing my assginments because I have notice that when I don't do them correctly or turn them in when it's do then my grade would go lower. …show more content…

Before I can empathy I need to trust them or I can see if they're loyal. I need that because some people can act fake about how they see you as or like they just want you for stuff and activities. I don't really show empathy to people unless I need someone to understand a problem I have. Also I don't like to share my feelings, because I don't want to see my weak side, being over dramtic, or getting mad or crazy over a small arguement. I do support others, if they support me. I don't help people out sometimes, because they're just using me for something. I only help people if they're sad, or trying them to calm them down when they're mad, because who knows what they can do. Sometimes I am positive about around others sometimes I'm not. I'm only positive when I'm laughing and loud. When I'm not I'm quiet and having a straight face not showing emotions. It depends how the conflict is. If it is a talking or arguing conflict I would start talking and defend myself because no one is going to talk to me like that. If it is a fist fight conflict and they swing and me first you better know I'm going to swing back because I'm not going to let anyone hit me like even if it didn't hurt. If they want to go against me she or he better be careful because I can

    ​Burton defines empathy as the ability to not only recognize but also to share another person’s or a fictional character’s or a sentient beings’ emotions. It involves seeing a person’s situation from his or her own perspective and then sharing his or her emotions and distress (1). Chismar posits that to empathize is basically to respond to another person’ perceived state of emotion by experiencing similar feelings. Empathy, therefore, implies sharing another person’s feeling without necessary showing any affection or desire to help. For one to empathize, he or she must at least care for, be interested in or concerned about

  • To Kill A Mockingbird Empathy Analysis

    Being able to empathize is an important trait to acquire and use. The ability to empathize goes beyond sympathy, it is to put “yourself in someone 's shoes”, or to understand and share the feelings of another through the use of imagination. One reason it might be important is that empathy can help to deal with the negativity of others, while somebody may bring you down by saying rude comments you can empathize that perhaps they are going through hardships and it 's hard to keep inside anger for a long time, so they unleash it on you. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus is a role model to his children, he’s a kind, loving and a smart

  • What I Learned In My First College English Class

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first college English class was ENC 1101 at the State College of Florida. In this course, I learned a vast amount of information about writing, reading, and grammar. When I first walked into ENC 1101 in August, I expected the class to be like any other English class in High School; with rushed busy work and a lot of useless tests and quizzes. However, throughout each week of the semester, Professor Knutsen’s class made me beg to differ. This class was not like any other high school English class. In this class I actually learned important information and did not do work just to complete it. This class had a few assignments here and there, enough to maintain, in order to learn proper information. I learned a lot in this class because I was not rushed to

    As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.

    My weaknesses before coming into English 101, was difficulty in constructing the thesis statement and my thoughts would be all over the place, there was no flow in the essay. This semester I’ve learned several things throughout English 101. I’ve learned different writing techniques, transition words, how to find resources online and using them effectively, and MLA formatting. I’ve learned these skills from class work and essays assignments. Although I still need more improvement, I’ve become a better writer because I’ve learned how to properly create a strong thesis statement, and making the essay flow with organized ideas by using outlines. However, I still have to improve on the following skills, word diction, grammar, and citations.

    My real life examples of empathy are when other people have to go into my shoes and see why I view kids with intellectual developmental disabilities the way I do. I see them as real, smart, genuine people. People show empathy that doesn't understand what I see, they try to connect with me. The real-life example from me is when someone in their home life is having a hard time and they come to me just so I can listen and try to imaginatively enter their feelings that they are having and show that I care. Another example of empathy is if someone is having a baby, the excitement you feel for them even though you might not have had a baby

  • Sense Of Self Essay

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    I would say my greatest change this semester stood as my personal confidence and willingness to try new things. Prior to this semester, I stood fearful of making mistakes in front of others, assuming that is meant that I would not make a “good” nurse. Through this semester, I learned that it is these little learning mistakes that help nursing students grow, as we are not expected to be fully developed from the start. This is a learning environment, where mistakes are meant to be made, as they teach valuable lessons to prevent future errors from occurring. It stands better to ask for assistance when unsure of a task or a reasoning behind an intervention than to simply perform the task, as this does not effectively promote quality nursing care. My professional identity developed through my ability to perceive myself as a future nurse, recognize my limitations and scope of practice, and utilize my knowledge and skills to provide effective patient care. I am no longer afraid to put myself into unknown situations, as these present as the greatest learning
