Assessment #8: Activity 4

Tittle: Lessons learned from a unpleasant experience. 

An experience that I consider have been a painful emotionally was when I separated from my friends group of many years in the tenth grade. Situations and respect was lost in the process, people took sides and only one of my friends and me stayed together. For that friend I am very grateful to have, I also learned that sometimes things happen for a reason. I realized things that were wrong in the past friendships that I allowed and thought were ok but ultimately weren’t. I say things more now and if something bugs me I try to process it and then attack the situation instead of acting only on emotions. I think in the moment it hurt but now I have grown from it and I am better for it, it taught me that I should express myself better and to not let people walk over my feelings. It hurt I won’t lie but now I have reached a sense of indifference with those ex friends, I might even talk with a few, it’s not the same as before and it won’t ever be again but it’s civil.

Reading and Writing #11

The army “brat” life sounds like it has many ups and down, I believe that maybe if I had that lifestyle it would not have been bad. I would get to met people and become a little more social I suppose. Maybe the thing I would miss the most would be friends and family but not the traveling because I love visiting new places and seeing new things. I would probably center around my studies and then adventure when I finished, try to do as much as possible while I was at one place, but when I’d get older and get a job, family or house, I believe then I would want to settle down and have it a bit “easier”. In question to the traveling, I would like to think I would keep traveling but for fun that time and when I wanted and obviously take time for myself as well.
