Positive & Negative Self-Talk
Now at present , I see myself in a new world. Where before I was destroying my life with full of sorrows and suffering as a refugee in the camp because I couldn’t deal with life on life’s terms. I didn’t care about myself and the people who are suffering there without food , clothing, shelter and immediate need of medical facility. I was totally lost. I had no aspirations and no hope to survive. I could not see that my life will change.But when I came to USA I am free of all the things that were clouding my view about myself I want to be different from others. I had to deal with myself, the new environment and the way I dealt with my different emotions. I know what I was growing up that I could do anything I set my mind to achieve my goal and that was true whether good or bad I did it to the best of my knowledge. The things that influence my self-picture today are my people That I choose to surround myself with, the decisions I make and what I expect of myself. I have a desire to be the best person in my family as a model and want to become good medical technician. I am responsible with my daily tasks and I try to keep my word when I give it. I like to be at work on time and be the person my boss can depend on to get things done. Having accountability that influences who I am and the person I want people to see. The fact that my family sees me as a changed person and they can rely on me is so important to me. So I think that this new found person inside of me will be able to finish what set before me and hope to succeed in my dream job. These lessons have really showed me my worth and what I have to offer and I am so grateful to be a part of UMA. So I am moving forward with this task and I am ready to take any issues that comes in my way to achieve my

    The most important goal for my future is to obtain a satisfying career. Growing up I saw how unhappy my mother was working at a job that she hated just to make enough to provide for our family. I further understood how important a satisfying career was to me when I started working the graveyard shift as a dockworker during community college. I strongly disliked almost everything about the job including the exposure to extreme temperatures, the job’s filthy nature, the long and irregular hours, and most of all because it was unfulfilling. I was miserable with my occupation but I was dependent on it because it was lucrative and provided me with a way to support myself through college. I worked fulltime at this job for two years while also being a fulltime student until I transferred to SIU. The dread that I felt toward my job made me work harder academically because I knew that someday my hard work would amount to a career that I thoroughly…

    My initial motivation was to study medicine. However, this novelty of an idea wore off as I have learned that the road to success and pursuit of happiness in life is not necessarily a straight one. This has encouraged me to follow my heart no matter how daunting the journey can be. William James once said “the greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being has the power to alter his life by his attitude”. It is deeply rooted in this philosophy that I desire to become a physician assistant (PA) where I hope to provide quality healthcare to the underprivileged, an area of medicine, which I have noticed to be dramatically underserved.…

    Six years prior to me starting at UOP I dropped out of college, because I had no clue what I wanted to use my skills for, I was very lost, unhappy, and I was doing nothing for myself it was for everyone else. That single event by enrolling back in school changed my personality over night for the better. The next day I started weeding people out of my life that where imputing nothing but negatives in it. That was defiantly the turning point for me without a doubt. This event came at the right time also in my life since I was in a very dark place at the time, so I guess you can say it was meant to be. Then I started two business ventures that I had wanted to start which proved to me that I could do something for myself to benefit my life and stability. I now have more than enough responsibilities that I did not have before, like keeping my business in order supplies to maintaining my customer relationships. My new house has been the biggest ordeal and not in a bad way it has been extremely difficult to get it to my standards, and since I am so busy I have not taking time just for my…

    Too often I define myself by my academic and social accomplishments, and because of my pride, have certain expectations about what I believe I can and should achieve. Additionally, I also lack openness and honesty with people. I would much rather listen to and solve someone else crisis than share honestly my own deep struggles. I think these will be challenging because you cannot help someone become more open without first being open and genuine yourself. So right now I am trusting in God’s grace as I strive to trust God and find my safety and significance in…

    My whole life I have been a leader, the rule maker, the boss, a take charge and a "get stuff done" type of person. These qualities I attribute to being the oldest sibling, raised by a strong mother, and a stepfather determined to raise another man’s child as best he could. I thrive in situations where I can have control and can help guide a team or myself to the best possible outcome. I apply these characteristics to nearly every aspect of my life, sometimes to a fault. After dropping out of college eight years previously, to follow my dreams of being a makeup artist, I woke up one day and decided my life need a change. Not completing school had always weighed on me over the years like an unfinished task needing to be done. So, why now, what changed? My outlook on life shifted after meeting a special little boy named Jackson.…

    My name is Regina Goforth-Lewis. I was born and raised in Michigan. As a young child, I went to four different elementary schools. I ended up graduating High School from the last of those schools, Southfield Christian High School. It was here that I decided I would eventually work with youth in some way. My life took a small detour before I got to that point. I attended the Oakland Community College shortly after graduating, however, decided to work full time and pursue a different career avenue: Retail Management. Although this was exciting and perfect for me at the time, I knew it was not my calling. Around the age of 22, I decided to enroll back to in college part time and follow the original dream of working with young people. I studied under the Social Work/Mental Health field. I never completed the program to receive my Associates Degree; however, I do have 66 credit hours accumulated. During this time, I loved college and my internship, which later became a fulltime job at the H.A.V.E.N. I worked there as a Supervised Visitation Specialist for many years. While working in the social work field and also in the communications field, I met and married my husband and we started a family. I always knew if it was feasible I would want to be able to stay at home with my children for as long as possible and I was fortunate enough to be able to do this for almost 13 years. Along the way I held down several part time jobs to earn extra income for the family, these jobs always included working with youth to some degree, such as a shift supervisor at the local Parks and Recreation Center’s concession stand or at the Elementary School where the children attended as a lunch room monitor. I also volunteered time at my church as a Sunday school teacher, a senior high youth advisor and a Deacon. I read to students at the library and taught American Sign Language (ASL) to hearing children. After 15 years, my children’s father and I divorced. I currently find myself as…

    Being an immigrant to this country has shaped my whole life to become what it is now. Escaping from a country that was stripped of all its worth due to a corrupt government and war, makes you truly appreciate life. If you’re an immigrant education is very important, because that is something no one in this world can ever take from you. From the time I moved to American, I have known I’ve wanted to have a huge impact on this world. I have honestly wanted to be so many different things. I have so many ideas, that it doesn’t fit into one specific field. When I was younger I wanted to be a dancer, teacher, writer, pastry chef, clothing designer, psychiatrist, and up until recently I wanted to be a pediatrician. It wasn’t until two years ago that I decided I definitely want to be a psychiatrist.…

    I found dreams I never knew I would want to accomplish so desperately, which is another reason I started taking college classes my senior year through a running start program. I have found myself valuing all of my work and dedication much more, because being independent has definitely been a beautiful episode that forced me to be an adult. I see myself going to a four-year school and find a job where i can operate with kids and people facing struggles. I love sociology and have always thought of myself working to help others. I have started a new passion towards history and society change over time which has made me strongly perplexed about a career choice. Due to my indecisiveness, I continue to take as many classes as I can, to clarify my decisions, and hope to find a perfect career for…

    One of the first assignments was to talk about ourselves and what our purpose in life was. That was one of the most difficult questions for me to answer because I’ve never been asked that, nor get into deep conversations such as that. Thinking of my qualities, I realized that I am a very caring person and put others in front of me. I naturally take care of others when they need help and will put anything down at any moment to help them. My meaning in life would be that helping hand. One who gives and doesn’t expect to receive. Seeing others happy is what motivates me. Taking this course helped me realize that maybe being a pediatrician would be a comfortable career that I could use my caring qualities in, and a career I would enjoy! I know that I’m emotionally, physically and mentally stable in how I view myself, before joining this course. My only problem was to figure out what my dream career was. To be certain on which direction I am going towards. I’m capable of following through with a goal as long as I know what that goal may be. Now I stand a little taller and more confident of where I am going and the decisions I’m making because of this course. My self-actualization I feel I have I had no…
