A paper about me is eye-opening but also scary for me. I believe that I know myself and think I know how the people around me view me, but you are never really sure until you ask them. In the self-concept checklist there was s consistent theme. The people that know me and are around me all the time either say I am funny, responsible, or loyal. My PCI test says that I have long lasting friendships and that ties into the loyalty. Without loyalty you can't really keep any friends. The people that are close to me also know that I am a very responsible person. If something needs to get done I will do it. Although I will do it on my time unless it has a deadline then I want it done as soon as possible. My MBTI test says that I learn through actual experience rather than by book or someone lecturing to me. I totally agree with this. No matter how many times people told me to study this way or write this way in school I had to figure it out on my own. Most of the time if it a lecture class that does not get the students involved I end up teaching myself in learning styles that I have discovered work for me. I remember being in middle school and not knowing where my life was going …show more content…
I graduated from high school with three best friends and to this day I will never part from them. I met two of them in kindergarten and went to school together all our lives. My other best friend I met her in fourth grade and we hit it off like we knew each other all our lives. I love them so much and would do anything for them and I know they would do the same for me. We argue like family one minute we are mad the next we are laughing with each other again. I know they will always tell me the truth even when I don't want it. They help me through tough times and I appreciate them for it. They are the type of friends to take care of you when you have nowhere to go they will make sure you are fed and
My friends were some of the best things that happened to me. A jovial, opinionated band of smart girls, we stuck together all through Joyce Kilmer and Ramapo Ridge. For four years they were one of my life’s biggest constants.
My friends are very important to me and without them I do not think I would be where I am today. My second real friendship began in the middle of my freshman year of high school. I had been introduced to someone who later became one of my two best friends, Michelle Zabuska, by someone in my Theater class. Some time later, as a result to a major fight caused by a mutual friend of ours, I realized that I had to be careful with whom I trusted. It was Michelle who pointed out a quote from one of our favorite television shows, Felicity, that I realized she was my true friend in every aspect of the word. I started to look at my...
In the book, The Integrated Self by Louis F. Kavar and an article by Chris Lloyd and Courtney O’Connor entitled, Integrating spirituality into mental health rehabilitation these references discusse the identity and assets of spirituality in the human body. Kavar writes upon the culture, values, beliefs, and lifestyle for understanding the spiritual dimensions of a human. Kavar emphasizes how “spirituality functions in our lives in ways that are both transcendent and imminent,” (8). In other words, Kavar believes that spirituality should be focused more upon, especially since it’s used in our everyday activities and we never seem to notice it. Transcendent, which allows us to experience more important individual aspects rather than the past.
A true friendship can last a lifetime, despite the changes that each friend may experience throughout their lives.
They fought with us for the boy we both liked in high school, and this caused to a cat-fight and friendship to end. Childhood friend, Mary, she had our backs and knew our most daring secrets but after she saw a better friend who gave tickets her to see her favorite band, she forgot all about us. The best friend that moved away to the United States with her whole family leaving our heart broken. In addition, Felicia, the hyperactive girl that was in kindergarten with us, who used to share all her food went to a different middle school and the friendship drifted
My friends are the only people that I can talk to without getting in trouble for saying something. They understand me and can sense any problem I might be going through. Also, anytime anyone is feeling down, they can make them feel better simply by being themselves. Furthermore, my friends are the weirdest people I know. Somehow, we end up debating over whether or not love lasts and other random topics. These random instances are what I look forward to each day when coming to school (other than English class, of course). My friends are one of the most important people in my life and I am glad that I found
Saul McLeod(2008) said that the term self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about, evaluates or perceives themselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself.
I chose the topic of self-concept through interpersonal communication because I had an interest in it. This interest is because I didn’t understand that one’s self-concept affected the way one is perceived by others. I learned self-concept through class discussions, but I wanted a better understanding of how communication affects one’s self-concept and how it affects one’s perception
As we reviewed the self awareness module this past week it was very interesting to see how the self assessments provided the class information about their own personal human behaviors. I was aware of most of the information provided but there were some tendencies I was surprised to find fitted my character. It was good to be reminded of the things I had forgotten about myself. Learning about my individuality and how I interact and respond to others based on my traits, personality and behavior has been an awakening experience. It is also great to know that I can work on areas that need improvement to become a more balance person to better assist my subordinates, teams and organizations.
Growing up in school you have your friends in 1st, then in Jr. High, and then when you get to high school you might not even know or see your friends from 1st grade anymore. For the few people who’s had a friend from 1st grade till college I think that someone they need to hold on to because if they stuck with you through all them year I know they’re there for the right reason and there not just there for a season. As Elizabeth Dunphy says, “It’s the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.”
Sense of self entails an individual reflecting on himself or herself - traits, beliefs, and purpose within the world. To develop a strong self of self, an individual must know his or her own goals, values and ideals. While this can entail each aspect of an individual’s life, my current sense of self stems from my position as a nursing student. As a nursing student, my sense of self stems directly from my theory courses and my hands-on experiences, both simulated and clinical. Currently, I feel like a gratified (Almost graduated) nursing student who is eager to get into the clinical field of practicing nursing, by providing hands on care to patients and their support systems. While I do not feel like I could go out and practice on my own quite yet, this nursing
The Self-Concept is a complicated process of gaining self-awareness. It consists of mental images an individual has of oneself: physical appearance, health, accomplishments, skills, social talents, roles, intellectual traits, and emotional states and more –all make up our self-concept.
I had a different best friend almost every year during my childhood. I met my best friend when I was 3. I moved into a new house and met Crista the first day that I moved in. When she was in fourth grade her family decided to move. During this time, she had been the main person that I hung out with, so this was a huge change fore me. So I spent basically a year and a half with very few friends. I moved to a new school half way through sixth grade. I didn’t ever find a real place there. I met my best friend Stacey when I first moved to my new middle school. We stayed friends throughout middle school, but she had a lot of family problems and she ended dup moving away and I didn’t even know she was leaving until after she was gone. In a time like middle school for something like that happen is awful. I got depressed after that happened and I ...
Your best friends, unlike your social circle, will not only be complimentary, but will always give you honest feedback. Best friends are in contact with each other every day and both work toward their friendship goals to allow it to continue down a healthy path of friendship. When something serious happens in your life, your best friend will sympathize and empathize with you, and then help you figure out how to fix it and move on. Best friends will give you advice when you really need it and are honest about their opinions. Loyalty, honesty, and commitment are the top priorities of a growing best friendship. Friends in your social circle can not keep secrets from others, but you can confide in your best friends about anything and they know everything about your life: the good, the bad, and the
Interpersonal relationships are those that we have with other people. Communication between others is essential to human survival. We communicate to get what we need: food, affection, knowledge, understanding, money, the list goes on. In these relationships, we build our image of ourselves, learn to trust, and sometimes fall apart. This paper will analyze interviews discussing what happens in their real life experiences with relationships and compare how they may differ from person to person.
