Aa Meeting Reflection

The leader had the group members attention throughout the

Everybody actually did get enough time and they all thought it was fair. But Tessie still disagrees. The scene shows Tessie is actually afraid for her life, since they all understand that the drawing was random and unbiased. Most of the characters who have not been picked feel differently and act differently too. Old man Warner said lots of bad things as people were coming up and said “Things are not the way they used to be!”.

I was able to learn how to organize and run a workshop and that gives me good experience in the future. I have never worked with homeless families before and this was a great learning experience because I would be able to better understand how to work with homeless families in the future. During this workshop, I had the ability to use all the counseling skills that I have learned in the program with real people and it was great to see myself be successful with the attendees. After this program, I was leaning on working with individuals with mental health and substance abuse disorders but now I will also consider homeless families moving

Words made the stories so interesting that it bothered many of the listeners. “Whether you know it or not, keep it to yourself. I don’t like it when someone kills a story right in the middle” (Schami 219). The stories had people so deeply encaptured that whether or not they had heard it, they were ready to hear it again told by a different person and from a different perspective. “There are other stories about listeners who were so curious or in such a state of suspense, they couldn’t sleep.”

My initial perception of the members in the room is that some members may be shy to disclose their stories, but was amazed that everyone came forth in the room to discuss their shortcoming. Furthermore, I did not have any stereotypes perception about alcoholism since I am aware that alcoholism is a disease that affects the brain. My understanding about alcoholism was confirmed by the various client verbalization of their stories and problems associated with

As you can see, the other people are picking on the unintelligent boy for his mistakes. He clearly does not understand the situation and the other people took advantage of this to entertain themselves. It is very despicable to see people make fun of others because of their

Compare Anne and Margot. Do their differences ever cause

You see it peek out at some points in this video when his father is trying to keep a calm tone and tries to talk about Evan’s problems. They have the ability and it seems like they are doing well but in the end they just end up being mean. His father has a tendency to blow up and go straight to being frightening and mean. His mother has a tendency to be mean, but she also can be weak sometimes. She accused Evan of something and when the father started yelling at him about it she gave in and said it had probably been her fault.

Most people do not enjoy talking about sensitive topics because they feel uncomfortable, so it is amazing how someone would write a play discussing one of the most sensitive topics, which is racism. I would think, many people would stay away from watching a play that could cause them to feel awkward. However, I was surprised to find out that this play is very popular, and this play was even created into a movie. My favorite scene of Spinning Into Butter was ending because the characters were openly honest, and the only way to end racism is to talk about the issue. Furthermore, this play is relevant in everyone's life, so it easily makes a connection with the audience.

I thought that this film was extremely well done. I was very creeped out by the events which occurred in the film, especially Tim’s abrupt and graphic suicide at the end of the film. I think that the directors were very effective in capturing the attention of the audience, and in allowing the audience to feel the fear and horror that the characters felt throughout the film. However, there were storylines that started very strong but were not developed throughout the film, which really upset me. An example of this is when Marco cheated on Karo with another girl, and Karo did not find out, which shows how the situation was never resolved.

The first thing out of this mouth was, “I’ve never seen you here before, are you from another club, what’s your problem, alcohol, addict, or both?” He was very firm and spoke somewhat loud but very friendly. I kindly introduced myself and told him that I was a graduate student at FIU studying clinical mental health and I was required by an assignment to attend four open 12-step meetings. After some pleasantries he expressed that he has been sober for twenty-six years and that AA, seeing other addicts recovering, and his sponsor literally saved his

Even the ones who are totally scared can be the ones who like it just to not be picked on so much. Yet, not everyone will be that type of person. For the ones who don’t take a liking to Valley Forge, are the ones who don’t show respect for anyone, “As silence finally returned to my room, I moved my hand from my eyes and calmly spoke: “Man, if you don’t get out of my room…”(pg 87). They want to feel in charge all the time and anytime they want. Feelings as if they don’t need to do anything for anyone.

So, Winston not being able to do this freely, and being considered committing a major crime, is a hard concept to understand, because I have never had to deal with that kind of constriction. This passage made me feel bad for Winston and for the constant build-up of emotions inside of him, because of him not being able to vent to someone about what is going on.

The reason that Sam feels this way is because in the classes he doesn’t have air conditioning in, he almost always feels a “heat wave” when he walks through the door, making him distracted from everything else. There have been other occasions when Sam has been in a class with no air conditioning, he became “drenched in sweat and was uncomfortable”. Sam wishes that all of our classrooms at Newport Harbor could have air conditioning in them. According to a New York Times article called “Schools Are Not Cool” written by Sara Mosle said that “students wilted over desks” in the heat distracting them and making it so they could not learn as well as they could when there is air conditioning.

My last day at SpringBrook made me wish we could spend more time there. I was better prepared for it mentally and emotionally. I had a good day with the teen boys, and I even help calm down one which was really special for me. It might not seem as much with anybody else, but I was always anxious and nervous to talk to the kids and teens. I didn’t want to treat them like adults and they couldn’t understand or get frustrated.
