At school, I have never really spoken up and usually keep to myself, with the exception of opening up to my friends. It was and still is very hard for me to branch out and connect with people I am not familiar with. However, as I started my automotive program, all of that slowly changed. In my class of fourteen, I…
When I first came to Sartell many people thought that I was shy,different and non outgoing. I was in 3rd grade when I came to Sartell it was a fresh start for me and my family. My old school in Iowa was very different than in Sartell. I knew who I was as a person in Iowa now it felt like a restart. In my class different classmates would instantly judge me before actually trying to know who I was. My class in 3rd grade had 27 people more than half wouldn't even try to talk to me. People who would talk to me would say few words like hi then left. 4 or 5 people…

Indeed, life is full of challenges. One of them was to overcome my shyness. Being a shy, timid, introverted person was affecting my grades…
I tried my best to fit in but arriving at a completely new area and having to make new friends was an extremely scary thought for me. I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t have any friends, and I felt isolated. All I wanted to do was go back to California to the familiar faces I left behind. As the year progressed, I was forced to break my shell and interact with others in my class gradually becoming more confident in myself and making new friends. The internal battles I had to endure in me becoming more social eventually taught me not to be afraid to build relationships. Learning this at an early stage was very beneficial to me because now I am not afraid to talk to complete strangers and even befriend…
Explain how emerging Adults make the transition to higher education and work (Papalia, Feldman, & Martorell, 2014). When I initially thought about going to college, I was fifty years old. The truth is I am a License Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and have been in the counseling field for about eighteen years at the time.

At college you see many new faces, and dealing on their personality you can social be open to that person. I always treat people the same respect I should give. I’m my observation; there are people here at Central Michigan University are very shy dealing with meeting new people. Becoming shy is only going to hinder you from become an open person? For my freshmen year, I was pretty shy; I didn’t know how people were going to take my personality. I didn’t really hangout with new people because I didn’t want to be in that awkward moment between a people that I don’t know. But I started to go out of my comfort zone and meet new people. Many people judge you off your looks. But you need to get to know the person and then make a judgment. Another part that I apply to my life is appreciating diversity. In college we surround ourselves with people who have similar personality and abilities like us. But college is the place where you can get to know other ethnicity group’s sexual orientation. The value of diversity is to appreciate the rich background and obtain knowledge and understanding this rich world. Growing up my mother always say don’t judge a book by its cover because stereotyping and discrimination can be offensive to people in…

Late Adulthood is a time in people’s lives when they come to terms with their lives and reevaluate what they have done or accomplished in the lieu of what they still would like to accomplish for the remainder of their lives.

The skin begins to wrinkle at an accelerated rate, the senses lose their acuity, and the voice becomes less powerful. Other physical changes occur like the loss of teeth, bones become brittle, joints become stiff, and the graying of hair.…
