A quote that I live by, “When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all,” By Theodore Roosevelt. I completed a personality test at the beginning of the school year in Mrs.Puckett’s class. The test told me that, I was an I. That means I’m active, can not stop moving around, be around to people, making people happy, and short term projects. One way I fit in the I category is, I can not stop moving. I have to keep moving at all the time. For example, when I read or write a story I will start tapping on the desk. Another example is, when I get bored I start to tap my foot. The last example is, I have to keep moving if I don’t have a connection to my work. I have to do something to help keep focus on my work not on other people around me that are distracting. I can get my work completed on time. …show more content…
Second way I fit in the I category, I have to be around people.
For example when I’m around people so I can joke around. Another example is, If I alone I may get more work done. The bad thing about that is, I start to feel no one wants me around anymore. The last example is, sometime when people get me off task. I will put in my headphone and listen to music on my computer or phone. I can work ten times more better when, I'm around people. I can’t hear them distract me off my work. Then I will go out in the hall. Third way I fit in the I category, I have lack of self discipline. I am a very big procrastinator. For example, If I have a paper to I put it off until the last moment. Another example is, I try to get myself off task a lot at home. It’s very hard to stay on task at home. When television and my video games are tell to play with or watch them. The last example is, at school when I tell myself I’m going to do something. When I get home I don’t do that one thing at all. When I get home I just can not do that one
thing. In conclusion base on knowing that I’m an I. The three careers that I want to do and don’t want to do. One of the careers I don’t want to be a Security Guard. The first reason why I don’t want to be an Security Guard, they have no authority at all. The second reason why I don’t want to be an Security Guard, they only get paid $17,400 to $23,970 per month. The third reason why I don’t want to be Security Guard is, they rarely get any action. The second of the careers I don’t want to be a firefighter. The first reason why I don’t want to be a firefighter, I like to control fires as a hobby. I don’t want to make a career out it. The second reason why I don’t want to be a firefighter, I do not want to get very hot by the fires. The third reason why I don’t want to be a firefighter, I wouldn’t be able to help people, because I would be to focus on the fires. The third career I want to be an officer in navy. The first reason why I want to be an officer in navy, they get paid a lot of money. The second reason why I want to be an officer in navy, they a lot of authority. The third reason why I want to be an officer in navy, they all around the world. That is what I want my career to be. That is the person I am.
When I delegate duties to others that I know I can do better myself. However, if I don’t delegate, then I could end up with more work than I can handle myself. I’ve taken courses in time management and learned how to effectively delegate tasks to overcome this weakness.
In a country where 45 million people struggle to survive below the poverty line, inflation continues to rise as wages remain the same. What happened to the American Dream? As the rich continue to get richer, even those in the middle class can’t seem to catch a break. The structure of American society makes it nearly impossible for those in poverty to rise above, and there are other factors, including race and gender, which play a role.
Oklahoma State University Department of Theatre’s production of What I Did Last Summer tells the self-revolutionary story of a young boy named Charlie and the struggles he faces the summer his father is away at war. Although the play seems to center mainly around Charlie, many of the other characters learn valuable lessons and a change in their perspectives is noticeable throughout the play. With it’s relatable characters, unique humor, and discussion of relevant topics, What I Did Last Summer is a play that can not only be enjoyed by all, but also has the potential to open the audience’s eyes to new viewpoints.
An identity crisis is defined as a period, at which an individual struggles with one's own sense of self. I believe that everyone goes through such a crisis at one point or another; however, I do not feel it is correct to say, everyone goes through this type of crisis entering their first year of college. Now, I am not say that someone can’t have an identity crisis entering college for the first time, for is was made clear in the essay, that some people can indeed, have a sudden realization of either finding or losing one’s self in college. In turn, it is fair to say that most people do develop a sort of crisis when embarking in the college life. It's a time in your life when you experience the world in a new light—and usually on your own.
In the book Don’t Shoot, David Kennedy and his associates used a focused deterrence approach of policing. The first thing that goes into the focused deterrence approach is mapping out the crime that needs to be dealt with. Receiving 911 calls will help in mapping out the crimes you are looking for, and knowing where they are coming from in that particular city. After you figured out where all the crimes are being committed, everyone in the criminal justice system needs to come together. This includes, probation officer, police officers, DA, judges, and even the community members. Then once you have all these pieces moving, you can then figure out who these people are that are committing the violent crimes. Once you know whom the criminals are,
I try not to let things get to me and I try not to let problems I’m having influence my work. This is good so that my personal life doesn’t interfere with my work life.
I found that some of the examples did not fit but in general I could relate to this as a strength theme. While I find myself sometimes having trouble focusing and waiting until a deadline is right in front of me, I do make sure to get things done. I almost always follow through and on the off chance I cannot, I make sure to make it up to that person one way or another. In these cases, I cannot apologize enough for my mistake and feel terrible about letting them down and not being able to follow through. It is my responsibility to own up to my actions and apologize for failures. Morals and ethics are a big part of this. If I find that something is going on that I cannot morally agree with, I will not support it. I believe in doing what is right at all times in effort to be responsible and a good asset to any team I’m on. Growing up, I had trouble saying no as I wanted to be involved in everything and take care of every task that came my way. I remember my dad telling me that I could be the person who tries all trades but masters none. While I still find myself volunteering for many things, I have learned to double check that I can take on a task or activity and do the best I can without causing trouble with my current involvements. I try to stay responsible by making sure that I don’t overdo it. Responsibility will definitely help me in the future as employers always look to make sure that employees are following guidelines and following through with what they say they will do. Enthusiasm to take responsibility will help me do a great
In terms of my personal identity, I would say that based on my experiences throughout my life, I considered myself to be hard working, especially when it comes to pursuing my goals; honest; generous, I like taking
Personally, I prefer to have at least an hour of alone time each day, to think to myself. I often become irritated by others, and don’t prefer working in groups with others. I enjoy company, but small company. Being by a lot of people stresses me out, so I prefer 1 on 1 or similar small interactions. When working in groups, I tend to feel taken advantage of, with my intelligence. In the past, I was often asked to do a person’s homework or give them answers to a test. I haven’t let in, and tell them cheating is never the option. Although when working in groups, sometimes I just want to do it all by myself anyways, because teachers often pair me up with students who have trouble with the subject, and know I know it, and can explain it. Sometimes they still don’t understand, and I don’t want to be downgraded for someone else’s mistake, which often happens to me. Along with that, I sometimes have a hard time agreeing with others to do a project a certain way, if I don’t agree. I try to convince them in a polite manner, but then they get overly angry. I am always open to new ideas, and such, but others usually don’t even want to hear my ideas. Tied in with that, I have many trust issues, and get angry easily with rude people. People can be rude often, which annoys me, and people are often looking to start pointless fights, which I don’t wish to be apart of. I’ve had conflicts with friends who are fighting, and want me to be on both of their sides. Though I explain to them, both of them are in the right, and in the wrong, and that I don’t want to choose
Gillespie’s article “It’s Never Just Play!” talks about the importance of children’s play in learning and developing (Gillespie, 2016, p. 92-94). It does this by supplying and examining a scenario of child led play. In the scenario three toddlers reenact a typical naptime in their classroom (Gillespie, 2016, p. 92). Thoroughly examining this scenario during free play Gillespie lays out how the children are developing the six Cs, which is a list of six skills needed to succeed as an adult in the 21st Century (Gillespie, 2016, p. 92-94). The six Cs consist of collaboration, communication, content, creative innovation, critical thinking, and confidence (Gillespie, 2016, p. 92-94). Play time is a great and effective time
My five weakest areas were self-management and emotional control, time management, money management, energy level, and seeking support (Bethel University, 2014). Common themes I found in my weaknesses
There are many obstacles that I may encounter that are both internal and external. A huge potential barrier between me and my meaningful and significant life is my internal struggle with time management. Procrastination is something I am very good at.

I find myself rushing at the last minute to complete my assignments and do my homework without being ready to do them physically and morally. I also find my self forgetting what I have to do , missing deadlines, putting some unrealistic goals, worrying about an exam if I don’t prepare for it. I often waste my energy on less important tasks; consequently, I fail to complete successfully the more important ones. I sleep very late then I don’t have enough hours to sleep ,so I cant wake up freshly ,therefore I come not following normally my courses, concentrating ,and focusing on my works. I am easily distracted by my gadgets and other external tendencies.
