Personal Narrative: Change
Change. From the first breath inhaled to the last, we change hundreds, thousands, of millions of times throughout the entirety. These changes may not always be so obvious, whereas others are blaringly distinct. Change is inevitable, especially as the environment, technology, economy, and people develop. Us, human beings, we are flexible, able to adapt and survive. However, as we adapt to these changes, we can not let these changes compromise our beliefs and principles by which we abide and hold close to our hearts.

    This was an insightful lesson for me. I am motivated by logic, data, and strategy. It was enlightening to understand the concept of getting buy-in by having an emotional connection to an issue. I might otherwise be the person with too many PP slides and still not clearly transmit my message. The See-Feel-Change process, by John Kotter and Dan Cohen makes a clear point. Enabling people to “feel” can ensure the message being communicated is received. I also identify with the statement, “False urgency can be more insidious and more dangerous even than complacency.” Just today, I was hearing a member talk about being constantly busy, and saying there is just not enough time. I think if they were to “Purge the junk”, as Louis Gerstner said, and…

    After my second year in high school, I made a decision that would turn out to be life changing. This decision wasn’t life changing in the way that getting married or going to college would be, but I really learned a lot about myself that summer. What I’m about to tell you is what happened when I switched from Marching Band to Football. I will explain to you why this switch was such a big deal to me and what I learned about myself from it. Switching from Marching Band to Football after my Sophomore year of high school changed the way I saw myself because I found I have a strong enough will to follow my heart despite controversy with others, I have a strong desire to be in control of my life, and I have an aggressive side that had not shown itself before.…

    Throughout our lives there are many obstacles we have to face, some may shape us and some may scar us years onward. My story is a common one that countless people have faced that got in the form of disguise that isn’t always pretty. Approximately ten years ago when I was a regular third grader, when life seemed to be rosy and full of fairytales, that nothing can be worse than not having your favorite meal at lunch, I had a theatre performance that changed my life.…

    Although sometimes change can be a difficult it can be healthy for us especially if you have been in one field for quite some time. I have been fortunate in my years in the military and currently a law enforcement Officer that I can say that when the alarm clock ring whether it is the midnight shift or the morning shift that I was happy to get up and go to work. Working with young people is an outstanding field to get into and there are plenty of young men and women that need our assistance and guidance.…

    The final step used in creative problem solving is refining solutions. According to Vincent R. Ruggiero, the three steps to follow are to work out details by determining exactly how solutions will be applied. The next step is to examine each detail for imperfections, and the last step is to make any improvements that will eliminate the imperfections. When the thinker reaches a solution to a problem, and has worked through the deficiencies, the creative thinker must work through any issues to find how the solution affects others.…

    The day after Thanksgiving on November 23, 2012 the Davidson’s decided to have a “Thanksday Dinner” where everyone brought leftovers from the day before and we sat around the table and talked. Ashton brought his video camera to document the experience; so he set it on top of the fireplace mantle of the club house we rented. That day just happened to be my birthday so trying to avoid the subject I helped set up chairs and tables and arrange the food in a way that would save the most room. After every one arrived we lined up to get the food and chowed down on our food. It wasn’t really eventful so we moved on to my favorite; pumpkin pie. Ryan really likes whipped cream on his pie so he goes and gets the cream, and then BAM! Leighton (my granddaughter) jumps up so fast and climbs over the counter like a ninja to stop Ryan from getting the whipped cream. So we eat our pie and we went around the table saying what we are thankful for, we went through the usual with our family with items like: toilet paper, electricity, etc. When they finally cracked down we started over and it was way emotional for some people and everyone was crying. We decided to do a “Davidson cinnamon roll”, it’s where everyone holds hands and on one side they start rolling into the middle pulling people into the big swirl. We all toppled over eventually. After that we were all hyped up from the pie and we turned on some music from my kindle and started a conga line. When we finished our conga line we changed into our swim-suits so we could go sit in the hot tub and relax. Well, then somebody got the bright idea of jumping in the pool (with the heater off for winter) and run back to the hot tub. So they jump off and “SPLASH” they are in the freezing water! My granddaughter and I didn’t want to jump into the pool so we thought “hey, might as well ease our way into it right?” we got to the top of our rib cage and ran back to the hot tub. It was way too cold!! After that almost everyone changed back…

    I believe in change. Not changing who you are on the outside or fixing who you are on the inside; but changing to be the best version of yourself. Living up the your own expectations to be the best and only person you could imagine yourself being. About 5 years ago, I realized I wasn’t the person I wanted to be. I would gaze at myself and just stare at that little fat girl staring back at me. No one ever knew I thought or felt this way. If I ever called myself ugly or fat I would be lectured about how I should never think like that. So I kept it to myself. I was picked on by what seemed like everyone. Every Time I went to a dance. Every Time I went to a football game. There was always many kids who made sure to crumble my self confidence to…

    It always starts off the same way. I’m driving down this dirt road by myself. There’s a streetlight somewhere that follows me, but I don’t know where it’s coming from. The road is endless, and I can’t really see anything besides the road and the trees. Then after what feels like an hour of driving, I see someone on the side of the road. I drive past them, because you know, picking up hitch hikers is bad, even in dreams. Then the next thing I know, they’re on my windshield, screaming at me and shit. The car swerves, and I crash into a tree.…

    Megan and I got our picture taken in front of the Magic Castle. My pink hair really stood out in the picture. I dyed it at the beginning of summer, but my natural blonde hair was already starting to come back. Megan told me that this will make it easier to spot me, if we get separated from each other; all she has to do is look for the person with the brightest hair.…
