Focus paper Last year, I walked past the Den, which is a student lounge at school, and heard a lot of noise coming from that room. I was wondering what all that noise was about, but I was too shy to go in there to find out what all the commotion was about. At many times, I felt socially awkward because I had stopped taking my ADHD medicine, and did not know how to interact well with people. The medicine used to cause me to be very quiet during lunch and other social times at school. The people in the Den had no interpersonal relationships with me because I never went to the Den to make friends or find out what was going on. So instead of going to the Den, I went to the cafeteria and started to make friends there. It was a comfortable environment where I ate lunch and felt at ease to interact with my peers as a new student at Lone Star College. “One of the primary benefits to a social life in college is the …show more content…

This year I made it my goal to go into the Den to make some interpersonal relationships, and to get to know the groups that hang out there. I have gone out of my comfort zone to make some friends that encompassed groups which include nerds that play video games, and card games, such as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic. I met another group of people who like to play ping pong and pool. My experience with going into the Den is a positive one. I now know a lot of people and have made a lot of interpersonal relationships. I went and talked to the nerds, and had fun getting to know them. I figured out that I have to be careful of what I say around them as they may tease me or laugh at some of my comments when I don’t think before I

    The process of becoming a member is much harder than people would think, myself included until I experienced it first hand. Meeting people during rush week is easy, as you are respectfully invited to activities and dinners.

    Before my years in high school, I rarely put time and effort into studying and constantly associated with my friends at school; that is until I entered high school. The different competitive atmosphere at high school caused me to suddenly prioritize my studies ahead of everything else and my ambition became greater than ever. I began to interact less with my old friends and become less sociable with those around me. My parents also began to notice this drastic change and encouraged me to once in a while contact my old friends. During the beginning, I contacted my friends about two or three times a week, but the phone calls began to gradually diminish. I began to abandon my previous cheerful, ebullient nature in order to conform to the competitive, tense study environment at high school. As long as I successfully accomplished my goals and was accepted by others, I was willing to alter myself in order to assimilate into the mainstream environment. Through my hard work and perseverance, I was able to reach my goal and receive the acknowledgement of others; however, despite fulfilling all my ambitions, I did not feel any joy or satisfaction within myself. Even though I successfully accomplished my objectives in school, I realized that in return I completely sacrificed my social life. Despite being accepted by others, I began to feel a sense of loneliness and longed to

    It is said that there is no such thing as failure, instead we have results. This was the idea that gave rise to the start of a company and later shooting of this video, in the outskirts of Addis Ababa in Africa. The video is about a shoe company called oliberte, which prides itself as the first company to be offered a fair trade certification. The founder, Mr. Tal Dehtiar has appreciated and employed great motivation methods in the growth of his company in a challenging environment (Oliberte, 2011). Motivation’s purpose is to initiate, guide and maintain goal oriented behaviors on the person that it is applied to. It can be driven by biological, social, emotional or cognitive forces. People are motivated to behave in a certain way because it is a core creational component of the human race. The two motivational theories that can be seen in this video are Mayo’s theory of human relations and Maslow and Herzberg’s theory of human needs (Latham, 2007).
