Without Continual Growth Psychology

Benjamin Franklin once said, ‘without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning’. I wholeheartedly agree with him; it would be meaningless to continue on a path that does not yield any positive change. This experience is one I can describe as worthwhile. I have observed tremendous growth in multiple areas. I have attained a level of confidence that I never thought possible, as the time elapse I realize that my passion for helping has only evolved. I admit it is challenging having to get up every morning unaware of what to expect, sometimes eager to start the day but more often than not feeling weary. Fortunately, I understand that life isn’t always bright and sunny, in fact, it has been
I had the opportunity of observing a case being reported. It was reported by an individual who was directly impacted by the occurrence. It was evident that the reporter had reached a point of helplessness. The way she expressed the situation and the emotions that exuded from her showed how frustrated she had become.

This opportunity was educational, I learnt a myriad of things in the single court session; I learnt that a child can be remanded to a home, otherwise, called a place of safety in an instant, if their parents present them as being uncontrollable. This took place at the court and instantaneously, the systems theory came to mind, particularly, the aspect that speaks about equilibrium.
