Overcoming Obstacles In Life

On occasion former player’s actions such as aggression or depression are blamed on addictions or lifestyle and disguised from the actual crisis at hand. In the case of Mike Webster, he began to have violent outbursts, isolate and became harmful to himself and others. His diagnosis only came after his death. His family suffered for years in silence and guilt all the while watching mike deteriorate before

In Chapter seven of our book Burnout and Compassion Fatigue it discusses the symptoms of compassion fatigue which I witnessed in Beth; anger, sadness, grief, anxiety, depression, physical fatigue, and irritability just to name a few. She had been caring for her dad prior to her marital break up. Her brother, Jay, suffered for a long time with dialysis treatments and Beth listened to him and consoled him through it all. Her marriage was falling apart to spite her efforts at couples counseling. She had so much of herself invested in the people she cared for and loved.

In Ordinary People the family is going through distress which is a negative stress because the family is going through a lose of a son or brother. Losing Buck has caused both major life changes and daily hassles. The major life change was Buck dying that puts a lot of stress on the family and especially on Conrad because he was there in the moment when it happened. The mother and father had a lot of stress because their son died that is very hard on a family. Calvin is handling it a lot better than Beth.

After a while of causing his family turmoil, he decided to leave us and his marriage. His decision to just leave impacted me terribly. I was mentally and emotionally distraught due to the hurt and disbelief. As a result of these internal emotions my hair began to break off, fall out and I began to experience weight loss. After he moved he started to go missing; not even his family in town

It is believable but not as much convincing when we mix it with nurture. Human beings learn new things in their everyday life, as soon as we come in to the world, our learning process begins. As a newborn baby, we slowly learn and adapt in order to survive in a new environment which is unlike that of our mother’s wombs. Our first environment in which we first grow up, adapt, and developed in is our home . Parents and siblings play a huge role in determining personalities.

Your work changed my view of self by realizing that I don’t have a bad life. Growing up, my parents would always fight, drank a lot, my dad was rarely home, my mom was unhappy, and I never really felt like I had an actual family. I witnessed a lot of bad things that happened between my parents when they fought and is something I’d never wish upon anyone. My parents got divorced when i was 9, which I took very hard because I had to live with my mom by court and I missed my dad a lot.

For instance, I had many surgeries and other issues as a child and teenager, all of which I was unbearable and it wasn’t until I was 19 and I had one of my worst anger fits that my mother said something that really struck home, “think of how others might feel.” I was in fact mind blind, I had trouble seeing the other perspective. From that moment on I have been a bit better, but I am not constantly focusing on it I tend to still miss the other perspective and this continues to cost me friendships and hardships to this day. I am fortunate enough to have found someone who is willing to help me and help me grow.

I was a loner kid, who nobody knew at all, and most of the time kept to himself in fear of saying something or looking stupid. Afraid of the judgement and acceptance of the other kids; always telling myself “maybe they’ll like me if….” or “maybe this will make them laugh.” I guess my insecurities, my constant need for some attention and wanting to be accepted made me an easy target. I was harassed over and over again, each day new words that would cut me, despite my fake resilience to them.

They have to deal with losing their loved ones, using their bodies as a form of economic support, and being abused by men at war. Regular civilians had to deal with the loss of family members or friends that went to war. Lan had experienced a lot of loss due to the war. Lan told Kien, “‘What a cruel time… and so very long. The war swept away so many people’” (52).

They are just slowly killing off this beautiful culture. This book saddened me very much. It did though, open my eyes to just how poorly these students where treated. You cannot take away somebody’s family and beliefs.

Wes started to enjoy reading something he wouldn’t of even tryed to enjoy before. “My mother, scensing my apathy towards reading, had bought me the Mitch Albom book Fab Five” (130). Another reason why Joy is a positive influence on Wes is because she wants Wes to try new things, but also stay with what he enjoyed to do. She did everything to help Wes stay on the right path. By teaching him he could still have a good life and experience different things without those things being a bad influence on him.

When my parents split around fourth grade, I changed. I began to rapidly gain weight and could not lose it because of my family’s history. I also became very anti-social and stayed in my room with a vow of silence that I put on myself. One last thing that I believe shaped me not growing up understanding the going to Grandma’s for dinner stereotype. Two of my four grandparents, both of my grandpas, passed away before I was born.

The peak of these illnesses came during one of the most important and stressful times in my high school career, junior year. I suddenly lost two of my grandparents, my parents were going through a divorce, which caused me to move out of my childhood home and into a new house with my mother and little brother, and I watched my father struggle with an illness. Fortunately, I was able to recover with the help of doctors, friends, and family. Through this experience, I learned I find the most happiness and contentment by keeping myself busy with things to benefit others and when I can use my expertise while contributing to a group or project. The happiness I have found while bringing the gift of community to those in need of it, through my service projects, is unlike any happiness I have ever felt before.

People of all walks of life became themselves by their upbringing, the people they associate with and how they deal with day to day situations. Some may have advantages depending on their financial and educational backgrounds. In my case, I was fortunate/unfortunate enough to have grown up in two different countries. Having to teach me a new language at a young age, as well as having to learn how to interact, read, and write as a young adult.

But the thing is, there are so much of these people who are different than you. Getting along with them and having a good relationship is so hard that sometimes you have to give yourself up and become a new kind of person. This might sound really odd, but that’s the way I have been trying since last 2 years and it worked pretty well. You can not expect others to change their all traits and attitudes, there must be a moment when you have to make concessions and just react to them with a big smile. The point is, when you realize that you are one of the minority and are different than others, in my case everyone who were born in United States, however, and want to be accepted to their group, you have to be the first person who changes yourself and is willing to be accepted.
