Type A Behavior Pattern Test
After taking the type A behavior pattern test I scored a total of 57 points. Since this is a score that exceeds 53 points it means I have a type A personality and can be considered more susceptible to stress and its effects. I honestly agree with my score because I’m very susceptible to the effects of stress. When I’m confronted with serious changes to my regular schedule, I tend to become anxious and irritable. I find myself out of my element and start to doubt whether or not I can overcome the challenges I’m presented with.
Recently, I’ve had to confront the stressful effects of change on my life. I used to be a full-time student devoting most of my time to getting a bachelor’s degree. A few months ago I got a job and juggling work and

    Flavia Weedn: Poem Analysis

    I could feel from day one that a fast-flowing river of anxiety had gushed over my head. Standardized test such as the SAT’s, ACT’s, and AP exams, college pressure, the endless speeches from my teachers and principals about the importance of academics and career searching was now added to my agenda. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and my stress level continued to grow. I became extremely engrossed and focused on my school work, and it consumed my time to a point where my parents became very concerned for my health. I was staying up late studying and finishing my homework for the next day, sometimes into the early hour of the morning because I would work ahead in classes before finishing my essential studies for the next day. I found myself on several occasions starting to fall asleep in my second period physics class because I had not gotten a good night’s sleep. There were some nights where I would not even see my dad…

    Continuing Academic Success

    It is a big step for someone who has been out of school for so long, to have the courage to begin the journey of higher education. Personally, it took me several years of contemplating if going back to school was the right move for me. I postponed it until I realized this was the only way I could provide my family with the life I’ve always dreamed of. I’ve came to realize that even though this will be a very challenging 4 years of my life, I will persevere as long as I keep my eyes on the price and stay motivated. There are many components to ensure success in my educational and career endeavors; such as, personal responsibility, use of the resources provided by the University, and have self-awareness. I’m sure to succeed as long as I apply myself and take advantage of the resources that are designed to assist in my academic life, subsequently into my professional life.…

    Ccbc College Application Essay Sample

    Instead of beating myself up over it, I used the inconvenience to propel myself and do better. The passion I have for my major plays a significant role in my academic performance, I strongly believe in the saying that “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life” and once I knew how much I loved my major, my attitude towards academics changed. I no longer felt burdened by my classes but I felt excited by them and I felt comfortable and content with the materials I was learning and being tested on. Seeing myself make such a tremendous change in my academic performance is what encouraged me to transfer to UMBC and continue my education there. I’ve seen how capable I am of adjusting to circumstances and I’ve seen how I can transcend when I truly put my mind to something. At UMBC I hope to continue improving on myself and expanding my expectations for myself as well as exceeding in what I do. Furthermore, I hope to achieve these objectives and utilize the knowledge I gain to thrive in the business…

    Personal Narrative: The Qualities That Changed My Life

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Medicine

    I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list, make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However, now when I look back, I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that college is an entirely different universe, then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The decline in my GPA made me realize that my journey to becoming a doctor is not always going to be easy. It made me hunger to go to medical school even more, to overcome the academic and emotional hurdles, and…

    I can still remember the first couple incidents that happened to me that started to shift my path of life. On May 26, 2011 I graduated from high school. It was a day full of happiness, sadness, and anxiety. I planned on taking time off of school since I have been in it for about 12 years straight. I planned on taking lots of trips with my friends and just experiencing new things in the new world. I also knew that if I did go back right away I wouldn’t succeed to my full potential. I simply wasn’t ready. At my grad party, I got into an argument with my brother, because I was defending my cousin. It soon escalated into a full on brawl between me, my brother, my boyfriend at the time, my father, and some friends. I made my way from outside where everyone was yelling at each other into my room. My father stormed into my roomed, where he proceeded to keep yelling at me telling me how I always screw everything up and I felt so overwhelmed that I just wanted to leave. Every ounce of me tried to escape that mad house but he wouldn’t let me leave until the cops arrived. I packed up a few things and left to stay with my boyfriend. A couple of days later I went and got the…

    Critical Literacy Narrative

    However, I ended up failing my calculus class and barely passing my economics class due to the numerous activities I was taking a part of and having to work part-time to cover my living expenses. The struggle that I had faced academically was a huge shock to me because I had been among the top ten percent students in my high school, and never once in my life did I had to take tutoring. Even though I was going to tutoring twice a week and setting more time aside to study, I still failed my exams which caused me a tremendous amount of stress. As a result, I packed up my stuff went back home to enroll at El Paso Community College to relieve the tensions of having to live by myself and to rethink of my goals about what I wanted to do in my college…

    Personal Narrative: Coming To Legacy High

    In the many months before my comings to Legacy High my thoughts were as follows. How am I going to graduate with my class? Do I even have enough time to finish? Will I even graduate? These questions are still relevant. I’m still questioning whether I will be graduating or not. I am still frantically looking for missing assignments that I know I turned in. I am still worrying about the smallest of things that shouldn’t be bothering me, but yet they still do. I still feel the day’s creeping up on me one by one, and yet I still somehow seem to accomplish what is asked of me. I feel as if I’m living paycheck to paycheck, scraping the bottom of the barrel and just barely passing by. That is how I felt during my times before I came to Legacy High,…

    The Long Road to a College Degree

    I have been seeking a college degree since I left high school in 2002. It has been a long road for me since there were some obstacles and challenges that hindered me from finishing college in a timely manner. When I first entered college I wasn’t really ready, therefore I skipped classes here and there and eventually stopped going all together; a part of me wished that I would have taken a small break after high school before starting college since I barely passed my senior year of school. I was just not ready to start going back to school again, but I did to please my parents, that’s the first and biggest mistake I have made since I first started college.…

    Academic Record vs. Potential

    I'm proud that I was able to exercise the enormous energy required to balance my schoolwork and part-time employment. Yet the stress of the economic overhaul made it impossible to concentrate on my studies. Many days, rather than preparing for exams, I stood in line for hours to buy food. My grades from the South American University of Engineering reflect the stress of these dire circumstances, rather than my actual ability. Yet the stressful situation helped me to re-evaluate my beliefs, aspirations and plans. Although my grades suffered, surviving such a traumatic experience clarified my goals, challenged my time-management skills and provided the strength to overcome future…
