When most people think about a significant experience as something like; studying abroad, taking vacations, or meeting new people. Now while I have met many types of people and traveled quite a bit, none of these experiences have been nearly as significant to me as my childhood. I lived in a small, falling apart, purple house in the heart of Bessemer that was perfect because it is all we could afford. This house and neighborhood forced me to be resourceful and it taught me that nothing in my life is going to come without hard work. Those lessons crafted me into the industrious, diligent, and determined person that I am today.…
Life changing experiences can come in many different forms. Many small, and often hobby related, experiences have congealed into a mass of lessons and life principles that have made me a better person. Whether it was struggling on my own, or finding a new solution, I have grown in innumerable ways because of one bloody nose and broken tooth on Christmas.…
The issues I have encountered during my life, has made me really think about the important things I still have and have not been, nor do I request them to be, obliterated from me. Although everyone encounters hardships in their life, whether it is personal hardships or national hardships, everyone has a different aftermath, and a different story to tell about their experience. My stories and my experiences may not be the most moving, but they are certainly important to me, and are the stories and experiences I want to remember for the rest of my life. These stories and experiences can change who I will become or want to become, and can set a greater image in my head, on who I should be, based on some issues that has shaped me into the woman I am and will be.…
Often in life people will have small experiences that will give them a life lesson and change their lives forever. These experiences could be as small as receiving a hug from a stranger, or as big as someone close to you dying, but either of these could greatly, or hardly change your way of living and viewing all the things around you. That is not to say that you may not benefit at all from some experiences, but in most part you will, and you should try to look at your experiences and view them as lessons.…

That specific experience always reminds me that even if I fail at first I can always overcome my fear and succeed. It was definitely a eye-opening event in my life. It’s a situation that I look back on whenever I feel the fear of failing. This experience always reminds me that no matter how afraid I am, I can do what I set my mind to. I will always remember that fear is something that can make you stronger once you overcome…
How could someone become afraid of heights? Acrophobia is simply a fear of heights (Holden, 1995). Being afraid of heights is common and sometimes appropriate feeling. The phobia kicks in when you feel afraid in a safe environment such as the inside of a skyscraper. Acrophobia is treated with graded exposure therapy (Holden, 1995). Fear is an emotion produced by the brain to avoid a potentially bad situation or anxiety caused by the presence of danger. Fear caused by a threatening object or situation will typically result in increased body tension, heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. These symptoms tend to produce different behavioral patterns in people. Those two things are what you could call my two…
Two events that have shaped my life today have been two different ones. From moving from the Hawaiian Islands to the mainland living in a landlocked state that was completely different the island surrounded by water. From the sandy beaches of Maui, to the desert heat of Las Vegas, Nevada. To the loss of my very best friend whom I grew up with. The girl who helped me to see that I had more confidence than I had believed I had. Who would make me stay up later with her because she didn't want to sleep and wanted to talk about life. These two are different in contrast, but to me, they both hold a place in shaping my life.…
Since my parents were divorced, before coming to America, in Nineteen Eighty One, my father finally asked me and my siblings(my older sister and a younger brother) if we could give him our blessing to remarry again. We all agreed, and gave him the blessing to remarry again. So he…
A moment that will forever change my life happened two years ago during my sophomore year, I will never forget it, but I am also thankful that it happened because I have learned from my mistake and it has taught me a few valuable life lessons.…
As an enrollment advisor at the university, my job is to assist and guide students towards their degree goals from the minute first voice contact is made and through their graduation day. The challenge that I am currently working on is how to conduct effectively a face-to-face appointment or initial interview. The process in enrolling a student is simple, yet involves psychological perception and processing on both ends of the spectrum, as the enroller and the enrollee. Being only one month young in the field, many new things to are to be learned.…
Have you ever thought how much someone can grow and learn through the experiences? There are many factors in how people can change their personality; their way of thinking and every day grow more as a person. Life is too complex to understand, it is better to live and enjoy each day to the fullest that it is where you learns more. In my opinion, I believe in what my mother says, "Everyone must go through their own experiences and learn from their own mistakes". I personally have changed a lot as a person in the past two years by different life experience like my graduation in college, starting a new job and moving to another country.…
When I think about “Learning Experiences,” I think of every situation someone finds themselves in as a learning experience. People have not traditionally used that phrase in relating to more formal learning interventions – i.e. classroom, but from a learner’s perspective, both formally and informally, that’s exactly what is happening: learners are experiencing something that, hopefully, results in a change in thinking, understanding, or behavior afterwards.…
When I read the title of this subject ‘’Information and Communication Technology’’, what comes into my mind is that, this subject was all about discovering the convenience of the computer. And what am I thinking all about this subject is that for me, it was so uncomplicated however, I was mistaken because what I am thinking is not factual. Why? Because when I taken up this subject it was so intricate, and yes, I was true in saying that this subject was all about discovering its usefulness.…
Eleanor Hibbert once wrote “ if it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience .” We must bear in mind that all our experiences in life, our accomplishments and mistakes, every single person we have encountered, and every medal and scar we have are the reasons why we are who we are today. Every experience, no matter how trivial or immense, is significant. For what I am now, I owe to these experiences.…
