Personal Metaphor
My Personal Metaphor
I am an enthusiastic cheerleader, cheering for my team all day long. I describe myself as being like a cheerleader. Usually, cheerleaders has to have lots of spirit and pep in them to spread spirit to their school and to be spirited in everything they do. To be a cheerleader, you would have to be very lively and energetic at all times because people count on you to get them hyped up for a game or pep rally. Having to cheer for their team all day, cheerleaders need all the energy they have to continue cheering to keep the crowd chanting and spirited as they cheer their team to victory. Meanwhile, cheerleaders also do tumbling and stunting.
I am enthusiastic because whenever my friends are feeling sad or down, I will always be there to cheer them up. I also motivate my team to always reach for their goals whenever they feel like giving up on things. What led me to choose this metaphor was that others have told me that I always know how to put a smile to someone's face by just how I am so enthusiastic and always energized with happiness.
I like having this characteristic and I think it may be very useful in the life. It would be useful in the future because sometimes people just need someone positive to be by their side and be their to motivate them when they need it. As a positive characteristic, I do believe that my future spouse or people whom I will work with will like

    In the reading selection “Metaphors We Live By” by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, the authors convey that metaphors are used on a daily basis by people like you and I. Some metaphors we use are easier to spot and understand than others. With metaphors there is a shifting in meaning between words or phrases by analogy or by comparison, through this we are shown likeness in the words we did not expect. Metaphors are infused in the lyrics of today music, famous rappers and singers use them to make example of people or places. I”ve found metaphors to be used in sports by athletes and sportscasters. Literature of the present and past are full of metaphors that draw you into the book or story you are reading.…

    I want to be a Clemson Cheerleader because I love cheering. Since I became a cheerleader in the seventh grade, I have lived for every practice, game, and competition. Cheerleading has given me some of the most amazing memories, friends and mentors and it has shaped a lot of my personal character. Having to work with others to accomplish a common goal teaches you to value other people’s strengths and pushes you to be better communicator and collaborator. Cheering is something that has become ingrained in every aspect of my life. In the off season I help coach a youth all star squad and make sure to tumble three times a week. I also grew up watching college football and going to games and I could never take my eyes off the cheerleaders. They…

    Confidence is a big deal when it comes to being a cheerleader it is a required characteristic that is built up within the sport itself. Before cheerleading I was the quiet, timid girl just trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Now I am outgoing and talkative because cheerleading helped find my confidence by forcing me to become open with my coaches and teammates. Also, the moment my uniform was on, my head was held high with a smile on my face. My choice of becoming a cheerleader showed who I really am and revealed my true identity of being an outgoing,…

    I am almost positive that if you asked more than half the population what their thoughts and opinions on cheerleading are, they would start off with the stereotypical view of pretty girls who jump around and yell for a sport, in which they have no idea what is going on. But, cheerleading is so much more to me, as a cheerleader a word like leadership takes on a whole new meaning. On the sidelines, in the classroom and in the community, cheerleading has given me experience with problem solving and taught me how to become a leader. Cheerleading has brought me a family, an escape from the outside world, and a reason to wake up every morning.…

    What is the role of metaphor in the development of an autonomous client? I've been recently reading about the importance of language in Epistemology. Particularly Wittgenstein and his ideas of language and it's role in our shaping of the world. SLIDE 1: Wittgenstein Thus we turn to the enigmatic realms of Analytic Philosophy, headed up by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1922). His sentence that "We make to ourselves pictures of facts" is the summarization of the view that; "In the picture and the pictured there must be something identical in order that the one can be a picture of the other at all. What the picture must have in common with reality in order to be able to represent it after its manner... is its form of representation" (Tractitus..) The example he uses to portray this is model cars used in a court case. Although not real cars in a real environment, they, like language, can be used to portray all of the logical circumstances that a real car accident might have; near miss, collision, traffic jam e.t.c. Things have a certain relation to one another in reality, likewise in a photograph, the parts that constitute the picture have a certain relation to one another, as best to represent the experience that is reality. When applied to the world of anthropology, in particular the fluid realms of the therapeutic dyad, the limits of induction are recognised as we attempt to deal with social systems, complexity, connectedness, changeability and chance (Robson, 2002). To tie down a definition of such metaphysical things as 'feeling', 'wishing' or 'thinking', we have no external reference, no toy cars to represent our schemas, no pictures to represent that reality. These words fall outside of what Wittgenstein thought possible to speak of; “whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent”, a phrase he coined in attempt to abolish the metaphysics of philosophy. “If... you wish to give a definition of wishing, i.e, to draw a sharp boundary, then you are free…
