Assignment 1.1 Your Personal Experience with Crisis The Crisis When I just moved to Lethbridge to be a student at the college, I knew no one in the city and was living with a lady away from the college. Relying on public transportation and having no friends or family hit me hard. For the first time I was along. In my second week I managed to make some friends and one of them offered me to move to his place as he had a big house that his parents bought. I thought that it would be a good idea as I already spent a lot of time at his place and we got along. The moment I moved to my friend’s place everything changed. All his organization and maturity had disappeared, and he became a difficult person to live with. We were buying food individually …show more content…

While I talked with him about my need for some quite nights and my displease with some of his behaviors, he never disagreed with what I said but continued to act in his own way. At some point I could not take that behavior anymore as it always became worse and worse. The behaviour of the …show more content…

Because of my new situation of being alone for the first time in my life, I felt lost and looked for support from other people. I saw that moving to a friend’s place would satisfy me needs but it made my situation worse. Being a shy person, it was hard for me to approach and express my disagreements with my roommate, but this experience made me someone different about future situations as those. Nowadays if I need to express myself or need to say anything, I will say it. I still am me, but I am more open to deal with conflicts head on instead of accepting them. Learning From analyzing my crisis, I learned that even though it was an experience I did not want to have, it provided me an opportunity to challenge myself and go head on with something I disagree. It opened my eyes that I learn and grow from experience and by approaching different situation instead of avoiding them or relying on someone else. Because of this, I try to approach more situations and deal with them by myself, if possible, so that I would learn how to deal with situations as these with more ease and professional

To begin with, In “loves vocabulary” Diane Ackeman uses figurative language to describe her ideas (on love) such as the bad side of love , and the power of love. The bad side of love is a paradox and also personification because the way Diane Ackeman uses the bad side of love is to prove a contradictory statement , an emotion of how love feels. Power of love ( a figurative language) she also uses is a metaphor because, she’s making love sound a certain way but it’s also not literal it’s just an way of explaining love in her meaning.

Class & Professor, First, I want to apologize for my late posting, it has been a crazy week (had my own major crisis to deal with) but I have been doing my best to get this done in the little time I had.

Without these skills, the client would not feel comfortable enough to open up to the counselor or to the intervention process.

With parallel parking being my new favorite thing I was almost certain I was going to pass my road test. I waited in line for what seemed like hours, I watched as people took off, then came back within 5 minutes of their test time. As more and more people came back, failing, I was growing more and more concerned and worried about how I was going to do, and if I was going to pass. I went through it in my head a million times as I waited, I told myself over and over that I could do it, and that I was a good driver, but nothing could reassure me as I saw for what seemed like the 50th person come out of their cars upset, giving their parents the wheel.

One of the oldest, bitter, and storied debates in the history of psychology has been the Nature vs. Nurture argument. Mary Shelley’s classic novel, Frankenstein, offers a textbook portrayal of the divergent concepts, and their outcome on mortal souls. Modern schools of thought understand that Nature, i.e. our genes and hereditary factors, form the foundation for the persons that we become, and provide initial advantages via a genetic lottery. Just as imperative, however, is the Nurture aspect, wherein our life experiences, relationships, and culture all meet to build the house of personhood atop the Nature foundation. Victor Frankenstein is the quintessential argument for active, caring parenting, showing how an indulgent upbringing can catapult
