Psychology Adjustment

Thomas Wis stark nakedski Psychology of Ad moreoverment Jurgens 6 December 2012 In my single out Psychology 2101 I was asked to write to the highest degree three major guinea pigs that occurred during my action history for program. I induct thought about this some all semester and it was a uniform struggle fair to think of even one consequence that I would read worryd to sh atomic number 18. This class has shown me that almost e actuallybody has their problems, some that array it on with them well, and others that still struggle to figure a path that will pass away them to happiness. I myself render personal issues that I have learned from.This physical compo setion will describe the three events and how they have impacted my life. During the paper I will do my outstrip to put these events in chronological order. I place from a military family. My dad was the military man and my suffer was from Korea. They had married when my dad was stationed in South Korea bet ween the late 80s and ahead of measure 90s. Being in a military family had resulted us in travel a lot. I have moved between many states maculation my dad was in the military, barely I had actually loved it. I loved traveling between set up-to-place and seeing all kind of new things.Travelling was just really interesting to me because there was unendingly a quantify where I could acquire something new. One of the places that I moved to and stayed for quite a firearm was in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I had always thought this place was an amazing. Most military brats know that making wizs is non the easiest thing to do. We find by the constant paltry that we have to use up new whizzs and slip the ones we made from a place before. This was normal, scarcely if getting older I realized that I was getting a bit tired from the constant moving and wanted to stay in one place for a while.As far as I can remember I have learned a lot living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I learned to ride my graduation exercise bike there and enjoyed the beautiful weather. In Colorado I had also met my go around booster unit. My best fri conclusions name was Joshua Vialpando and we had almost done everything together. We would always have the same teachers in instruct and then of course we would hang outside of rail constantly. The trick at was always there for me when I ever had a problem and I would try my best to be there for him. Joshua had always struggled in school, but I would always catch on things a bit quick and help him out when he needed it.This was my first real friend that I have made that I could actually see be there later in my life during adulthood. Of course as time went by it was time to pack my bags and move to a different state. For the first time in my life I realized that I did non want to move and that moving somewhere new had no supplication to me. I wanted to stay and just hang with my best friend and do whatever new activity wo uld cross our minds. I entangle want that moving somewhere new would neuter me somehow and that I would not be able to make a friend that was like him.I mat up as if I was going to be only(a), or likely step a bit different from everyone else. I was losing a friend and it matte up like I was losing the world that I had gotten use to and I did not want to experience a new one. This first event gradually leads up to my second event when I moved to Augusta, Georgia. It took me a four- solar day trip by RV to make it to Augusta. I knew that by moving here I would have to start over again, new school and hopefull new friends as well. In school before I was never really made sport of or teased at all for being who I am.For the first time in my life I was being teased for being Asian American. Children would constantly manage up to me and make oriental noises like ching chong chong and other terms like that. I feel as if in Colorado it was more racially diverse, while moving here to Georgia there was just solely largely white and black. I remember my very first day of attending class in Augusta and I remember after school I had ended up crying. I did not meet why the other kids would make fun of me because I had never experience this issue before. Augusta, Georgia was the place that my dad decided to retire in.I knew from that position that this place would be my new permanent home and I would not be able to go anywhere else new again. I hate the new place I was living in and I scorned going to school. This point on I had lost contact with my best friend in Colorado and I had felt lonely just as I had originally thought I would feel. I had felt this same way all the way to almost between the end of middle school and the start of mettlesome school. One day while riding the bus home from school. A guy that sat back tooth me I said hey. This is the point where I had met my friend Stephen Brinson.Stephen had become almost like a brother to me. He was lik e a take a pull up stakes of my family and even my parents seen it that way as well. This is when things seemed to get better for me, slowly but gradually I would deal with my problems. I no longer felt as lonely as I did before because I had met someone that I could talk to and seemed to have the same interests as me. I have known Stephen for a while now and he is still my best friend today. He is the only person I honestly likely see and talk to most of the time. In my first dickens age of laid-back school I was not popular at all. In fact, I was probably more of a geek than anything.It was the last two years of high school that I had finally felt a difference. I never realized how many people I knew. I had actually become passably popular at the end of my high school career. I was known for my talents and nominated for everything. I feel that Stephen was a part of this change because we had made that change together. Stephen was also a pretty big geek in the beginning of h igh school as well, but we both decided to make this change together. I feel if I have never met him, then that change would have never occurred and I could probably be in a situation that I hate.I learned that it is not about where I go, but the people that I do things with. I still today tend to not make a lot of friends, but a few is all I need to be happy. I learned that being made fun of is slide fastener and it is something that I can overcome. In the end it has made me stronger as a person and I tend to think back at a ruffianly time and laugh about it. I laugh at it because I realize where I am now and I am proud of that alone. My last event is about my sister and mostly my mother. My mother is pretty strict mama and she pushes us very hard especially when it comes to education.The way she pushes my sister and I does not seem very reasonable and at times very unfair. My sister and my mother would manage a lot, but one day it had got to the point where I had come home and my sister had about nine knives that she held up to her neck explaining that she just wanted to kill herself. I remember me sneaking up tail assembly her and taking all of the knives out of her hand to make sure that she would not harm herself. From that point on I tend to keep a barrier between my mother and I. This barrier is the only one that I can see fit for dealing with her because my mother knows exactly how to bewilder you off.I do believe that my mothers ways did help me during school because I had focused and did well many times until the start of high school. In the beginning of high school I tended to rebel against her because I wanted to show her that I did not really care. It was about a year into high school that I realized it was not for my mother, but for myself and that I should actually be doing a whole lot better. My mom did not even attend my high school graduation because she believes I was not high enough ranked. I ranked in the hap 10 percentile of my hig h school, which I thought was pretty good.I do not tell her absolutely anything unless it is completely needed. There is nothing about my personal life that she really knows because she will just argue about how everything I am doing is completely wrong. The barrier is the only way I believe that I can enjoy my life and not issue hers. The barrier is not just for myself, but a little part of it is for her as well. It keeps us both sane instead of in a state of constant rage. I believe that I will always have this barrier between her because she will never really sit down and scan why I do the things I do.She does not want to hear what I have to say and just believes that nothing is right compared to her. By creating this barrier between her and I. It has changed me as a person. I realize that I micturate barriers between other people because I tend to not trust others very quickly. Even when I get into a relationship with a significant other I create some type of barrier and the girl will never understand me completely. I always end up telling them that they just do not get it but I know that because of this barrier I put up. It makes it hard to understand me.I am trying to work on this because I have met someone that I would really love to fully understand me and I fully understand her. It is a work in progress, but I believe in the end it will be worth it. Today, I no longer feel as lonely as I once did. I feel satisfied with how things are going in my life today. I think that I have it all. I might not have the perfect family, but I do love my family. I do not think that anyone has a fairytale. This class has shown me so much and has given me different perspectives on how I can deal with the everyday stress of life.Things just seem a lot better than they did before and I can really only thank myself for this. I feel if I never wanted things to change then they would not have, but I had accepted others with positive inputs in my life and let the ones with negative inputs go away. I thought that this class was an interesting course and that anybody regardless if they are psychology major or minor should take this class because they could also learn something from it as well. It is a different experience than the normal classroom, but that is exactly what makes it so good.
