I have many different things happen through my life that have some how transitioned me to where I am today. One in particular the I think had the biggest impact on my life was Moving out of my parents house.
When I moved out and attended Mankato State University, I gained a new appreciation for my family. I have always loved my family but I was very bad at showing it through out highschool. i do not know why I was the way I was to them but looking back at it, the way I treated my family at the time was unacceptable.
They were nothing but amazing to me through out my entire life and I never truly appreciated them. I grew up very fast. My relationship with my family has become closer than ever since I was able to reevalute myself and the way I had been treating the people that were most important to me. They have had such an impact on the person that I am today and it was about time that I started treating them that way. My family can not believe what a pleasure I am to be around when they looked back at how I treated them before.
I think I was caught up in my friendships and I stopped caring about what meant most to me. It can make a huge impact on your personality when you surround yourself with people that are not respectful.
Question: Has there been anyone or any group of people that have influenced your attitudes in a negative transition. If so, What did you do to transision yourself in a positive direction.

I don't have any one person whom has influenced me in a negative way. But I do know of many small incidents with people that have set me down a negative path. For instance, I have encountered several people in the academic field that I don't have much respect for. I also used to work in a kitchen with a mean chef. Needless to say, he and I had a few encounters. And after each encounter, my personal outlook changed negatively. But to get myself feeling better I generally do what I always do when I get stressed out: I listen to music. That way, I can relax and "move on" at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there has been anyone that has negatively influenced me in a transition. I think that it's mostly because I don't follow the influence of others if it is negative. I am the person I am, and I do the tings I do. I will allow people to help me through transitions in my life if they are making an impact on the situation or on me in general. The only ways I can think of negatively being influenced right now is by people turning you into a drug or alcohol user, or some other negative thing like that, and nobody would influence me to do anything of that sort!
ReplyDeleteWhen I attended the U of M you weren't cool if you went home often and didn't party, and I also kind of put my family on the back burner. When I went home for the summer I realized how much I needed my family and how much happier I was when I was spending time with them and was being productive and not partying often. Here in River Falls I don't feel that pressure and I think I'm a much better person because I'm just who I am. I'm not trying to be something other people want me to be.
ReplyDeleteI can not think of someone who has caused me to transition me negatively. There may have been sometime but I think we tend to focus more on the positive transitions we have made. Some people have influenced me to make a bad decision every now and then, like going out instead of studying for a test, but I wouldn’t call it a transition.
ReplyDeleteYes I would have to say my third grade teacher would always put me on the spot for subjects that she knew I was not good at and so then after that year I hated math and reading and to this day they are my weak points.
