My Attitude
Nikita Beck
April 14, 2014
ELA V
My Attitude In House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, she depicts the character Rachel as a quick tempered girl from Texas. In this assignment I was asked if I was quick tempered and sassy also. In my opinion and according to others I am sassy, but if you ask if I am quick tempered it depends on who you ask. If you ask my mother, she’ll say that I’m one of the calmest people you’ll ever meet; my stepbrother will tell you the same. Now, if you ask my nephew or some of my classmates from my old school, they’ll completely disagree. My temper depends solely on whoever I’m with and what mood I’m in. If I’m in a good mood, you can do practically anything and I wouldn’t be bothered at all. If you catch me in a bad mood or if someone has been pushing me to my limit, just a single wrong move will have me popping off and yelling at you. At times, if you pushed me too far, I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions and actions which would lead me to either tear up or become physical; in both cases I will find a way to yell at you.
Therefore, to sum it all up, my mood depends on many variables. If I’m my usual self, then I would be my usual sassy, odd self. If you’re unlucky and you try to annoy me when I’m in a bad mood, then you probably deserve what you get. However, my bad days are rare and I can usually control myself, so it’s not something you should worry about all the time.

    As a human being, anger is an unavoidable emotion. It is close to impossible to control other people’s reactions, but how you control your reactions depend entirely on you.

    In Anger Education

    • 502 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In Anger Education, I actually learned a lot about myself that I wasn’t expecting. I learn that are many things that trigger or set off my anger, however that being angry isn’t the bad thing, it’s what I choose to do with it. I learned that an immense anger trigger of mine are situations where I feel disrespected by people that I care about. I learned the real emotion behind my feeling of being disrespected is actually my feelings being hurt and instead of expressing those feelings in a rationale way, I irrationally respond with anger and rage. There are many strategies I learned in class to help me cope with my anger. One strategy I found very useful is to make sure I simply think before I speak. In the heat of the moment I tend to only speak negatively instead speaking my real emotions, which lead to negative outcomes. Moreover if I begin to actually collect my thoughts before I say things I regret which allow others in the situation to do the same which will hopefully lead to resolution. Another response I learned in anger education that will help me avoid losing control of my anger is that I must take responsibility for my own emotions. In other words instead of blaming the other person’s actions or words for the cause of my anger that its actually my fault for letting it make me angry making it my problem and not theirs. If I was placed in the same situation there are many different assertive strategies or conflict resolution skills I could have used to ensure a different outcome that would have avoided a troublesome situation. One assertive strategy I should have used in place of my actions was once I was calm and collected was the better time to express my anger and not in the heat of the moment. As soon as I was thinking clearly I should have expressed my frustration in an assertive and non-confrontational way. When stating my concerns I should have stated them clearly and directly without the use of “you statements” which are used to hurt and…

The three main components of attitudes are the belief component, emotional component and action component.

    Why Am I So Angry?

    • 890 Words

    When someone reaches my limit, I explode. I don’t and won’t hold in my anger; I will always, at all times let it out. There’s no point of holding in all my rage on someone when they’re right in front of me and I can tell them straight up how I’m feeling. The problem with those kinds of thoughts of mines is that I will say things or do things that I won’t be able to take back. The only time, when I really do explode, is when someone tries to prove me wrong or when someone tells me to do something when I am busy doing something else, but I do learn a lesson…always! There’s a powerful reason for why I carry a whole bunch of anger in me.…
