...things I think about now when I sit and I’m restless and sweating in a fucking warm leather couch in a 80 degrees warm townhouse in the slumbering province in Baden-Württemberg where I grew up and ran away from and like many other provinces seems to be of people whose lives consists of days structured about: When you eat and when the children shit When cross eyed hairdresser Karnel Jennel on the square has holiday closed When the weather is on the news and here on if you get yelled or not get yelled which is almost obligatory under every forecast: That they don’t promise what they say that they don’t know what they are talking about that they could fucking come with some better weather than heatwaves and rain and sleet and crap with crap on and even though you already know that the weather host no possible way has a divine finger in the game that should make him able to pull any weather across the country that suits him and even if he had such a creepy divine weather finger then you already know that he won’t hear shit about what you yell at him because you sit and yell from your leather couch in Freiburg against a careless electronic box in front of the wall in the living room as standard equipment doesn’t have a microphone built in that would be able to send your complaining directly out through a giant pair of speakers at the canals in Berlin where the weather is being send from. There is a lot of things I think about now when...

...I have learned a lot of information about my self. Some of them were things I already knew but a lot of them were things I didn’t know. Over the course of the semester I took a number of personal profiling tests and they really helped me to discover some of the traits I have that I did not know I had before. By taking this class it also made me think about my values and skills. This class also helped me to consider what majors I could pick for the rest of my college career. One of the personal profiling tests I took was call the Choices Interest Profiler. The Choices Interest Profiler is a program that helps people discover their personal interest and it also gives you some possible occupation ideas that would match with you interests. My results of the Choices Interest Profiler were artistic, investigative, and social. The occupations the Choices Interest Profiler gave me were anthropologist and sociologist. I do not think my results were very accurate because I do not think I am an artistic or a social person. I think the investigative part was right because I like doing math and solving things so I think that would be under the category of investigative. The occupations the Choices Interest Profiler gave me don’t really interest me so I do not think the program did an accurate job of that either. I think the results you get from the Interest Profiler depend on a lot of things. I think the reason my results did not accurately reflect me could have been because of the was I...

...Reflective Workbook Session 1 Thoughts about today’s session During this first session I felt that start of the session went well, I managed to talk about confidentiality with the client and answer questions on confidentiality though it could have went better in that I wasn’t entirely sure what the limitations of confidentiality are and when certain information may have to be passed on. I gave the client the opportunity to disclose and the client began to tell me why they were there, at some points during the session though I wasn’t sure what exactly to say to the client when they finished speaking which made parts of the session feel awkward and there were some lengthy silences, hopefully this could be improved upon in future weeks. Feelings about today’s session At the start of the session I felt quite nervous which I think the client could tell which in turn made them more nervous. Once I began talking about confidentiality with the client I think the session became more at ease and helped the client feel more relaxed and able to be open with me. Once the client began speaking to me about their problems I started to become anxious about what I was going to say to them and when I didn’t immediately reply when they finished speaking I became worried that they would think I wasn’t interested in listening to them or hadn’t been listening properly. However as the session went on I became more at ease with how to respond and I think this made the session more positive towards...

...in my home, but I think it was sort of embraced in a way. This is most likely due to my religious background. My family is Jewish and raised me as so; therefore pre-marital sex is really non-existent in the Jewish faith. So I think my parents wanted to teach me what was what as I was maturing, so that way I could be prepared for future experiences. B.) “Birds and the Bees”? I am not familiar with such a talk with my parents. If this talk is about sex, then yes, I did have this conversation. My parents were both straight to the point and aggressive with me knowing this type of information. My parents together approached me when I was twelve. They asked me what I knew, explained sex to me, and how it was supposed to be “special”. I felt awkward when I was approached by them, but as the conversation expanded I became more comfortable and even asked some questions. At the end of our discussion, I was much more informed on sexual topics and even felt a little less awkward. C.) My parents always embraced me knowing all sorts of information, including sexual topics. I think they may have been a little too open at times, but looking back on it, I am glad they chose not to shelter me. It brought me to where I am today and really made me more mature then most kids growing up next to me. I knew stuff other kids didn’t know at the time, which was cool. D.) The first girl I really kissed happened when I was 11. That same girl not even a year later performed oral on me. I proceeded to lose...

... Have you ever asked questions, or thought about what is behind the scenes. Why does it seems like only children use their imagination anymore? I think the poem, Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is saying that exact thing. This poem is talking about a place that is peaceful, with no problems. But not just anyone can go to this place, and only the people with the eye to see it realize it is there. The first two line is the poem stats, “ There is a place where the sidewalk ends, and before the street begins,” That right there makes me think automatically this might be about something magical, or something where you have to think outside of the obvious and use your imagination. Which it seems like it gets more and more difficult for people to do these days. To me everything is a yes or a no. Or a straight forward answer this poem is already in the first two lines making me think that maybe there is more out there then what we see to a natural eye, you may just have to look outside of the big picture and see the small pictures. Line thee and four make me think a little bit, the state, “and there the grass grows soft and white, and there the sun burns crimson bright.” This changes up my thought because the grass growing soft and white makes me think it is almost like snow. The grass at this place is not the normal weird color green and itchy like we normally have in our yards, so again this is making me think this place maybe mystical place. The second part...

...I think that this class has really opened my eyes to my financial situations. Before this course I never really thought about my financial future nor did I truly keep track of my finances. For the most part previously I only thought about my bills and everything else that money was spent on was not a second thought to me . With the current state of my finances bills are paid off every three months which at first glance made me question my financial plan but after close examination I can see that my financial plan sets me up and helps me save money. I can’t honestly say that there has been a real big change for the financial outlook for the future. The reason that I say this is because as stated earlier I had not previously put real thought into the financial outlook of my future. With that mindset it is hard to change a view of something that you never thought of previously. This course however has given me a new insight into my financial future. I now look forward to saving money in hopes that it can grow and one day I can live comfortably. I think that I now look forward to continuously making money in order to put away for the ability to relax at the age of 65. I also think that I have started to think about the future of things such as Social Security which is something that I had not thought about previously. With Social Security I hope that when I get of age I have made enough money to be able to get Social Security and have that extra...

I have a hard time believing it is the "most urgent possible disaster that could hit us" any time soon and that we need to give our full attention to it. I watched all about it on History channel this last weekend and even the clips and photo's that they show do not convince me that it is the #1 concern that society and the world should have. I personally believe that it is just "big business." And those who are capitalizing on it...know it! Now, I don't mind recycling and simple stuff like that, but I won't give up my candy apple red convertible GT and drive an ugly car loaded with batteries that looks like my sons shoes going down the highway!

...only five are alive) 2. Perception on aging a. Do you think you are getting old? Ans: At 68 years, I am getting old. But I don’t think I am really old. Look at me, I can still do things for myself, if I am given the chance. But they don’t allow me because they think I am old. b. What age do you think you will consider yourself as being old? Ans: (She smiled and looked at researcher calmly) I don’t know what age I think I will consider myself old. But when I feel it, I will know. May be I will say when I am 80 years old or more, then I will take myself to be old. Age is in the heart. c. What make(s) you feel you are getting old? Ans: What makes me feel I am getting old? (She paused for a while). I think when I can no longer feel anything or see the need to live again. I think I will say when I can’t do anything for myself, like clean my own back, then, I am really getting old. Until then, I am not that old. d. How do you feel when you are treated as being old? Ans: I don’t like to be treated as being old. I am not an old woman. When these children try to make feel like one, I tell them I am still current. (Touching her hair) She said, I still make my hair. I like to look good. So when I get treated like an old woman, I don’t like it. But they all treat me like one. My children feel that I am old and need to be here, in a nursing home. It is only one or two of the staff here who treat me the way I want. Others think and act as if I am old. No way. I am not old. 3. Aging...

...My civic identity is very important to my overall identity as a person because I believe that my civic identity is similar to my overall identity as a person. It’s really important to me now because having a strong civic identity helps me to gain the confidence to be involved and participate in school activities and give back to the school and to the community by volunteering and by putting the time to participate in many activities. I also think it’s very important because my civic identity allows me to be aware of what’s going on in the government and helps to think about the issues all throughout the valley and the nation. I believe that knowing more about the government and knowing more about the laws helps my identity and my future decisions. For example, my future plan to register once I turn 18. Most...
