Argument (Graded)

One of my friends and I usually get into deep arguments about things, usually about government, politics or anything with how the world revolves. Well last year when I was living with my friend we had a huge disagreement about PEAK oil. Which is basically when oil reaches it's maximum production and starts to decline. So if global cosnumption is not taken care of, an energy crisis might come about because the amount of oil will drop and the price will increase. Which in turn, could start a big panic in society and have everyone freak out. Our argument consisted of him believing that PEAK oil will happen within a couple years and the whole country is gonna be in an uproar and panic. I disagreed and said it won't happen for a long time and by that time we will have invented or created something that is not so dependant on oil. We both knew quite a bit about it, so it was a heated argument that lasted a good week. In all reality we shouldn't have gotten so mad at eachother but we wanted to prove our points. Finally after about a week we both agreed that if it happens, it happens and if it doesn't, it doesn't. No use in fighting about something that you can't control. But every once in awhile we'll bring it up and get into a small argument that only lasts about an hour!

Disagreement (graded)

I have been in a HUGE disagreement just recently with my sister. She was dating this guy that I didn't practically like. I thought he was playing with her and leading her on and she didn't agree with me. He didn't want to spend time with her or act like he did and when I brought this up to her she was clearly upset. I tried to talk to her about it and talking about their relationship got worse and worse. Our family got involved and my sister had enough and stopped talking to me for about a week. I was only trying to help her and she didn't want my help. He was totally not that into her and she thought he was. It turns out I was right the whole time and she finally realized that I was just trying to help her and were back to the same as we were before. Leason learned by both of us. I have to let her learn her own mistakes and she needs to know a red flag when she see's one.

roles in my life

Four out of the many roles I play in my life are a student, a manager, a friend, and a sister. The first role is a student. As a student, I am expected to go to class and get my homework completed on time. Also I need to respect my peers, teacher, and people I meet along the way of my education. The second role I play is a manager at Dairy Queen. In this role i have to be responsible for making the schedule and doing it so that it works for everyone. I have to deal with a lot of people even when they are unhappy so I have to be very understanding. Also, I have to be able to let the other employees know what needs to be done and when, without demanding it. The third role I play is a friend. I have friends from many different groups, so i can relate to many different people. I am always there when they need someone to vent and confide in. I help them out when they need it. The last role i want to talk about is a sister. I have two sisters named Kalee and Makayla. Kalee is twenty and a lot like me. I always try to be there for her when she needs advice and something is on her mind and she just needs to talk. We are so close in age I can relate to the things she is going through. Makayla is ten years old and a lot of fun. I sometimes take care of her for a few hours and play a few games or help her with her homework. I think she really looks up to me as a role model. I try to set a good example for her. The role that is most challenging would be the manager because I am faced with many challenges every day and I am in charge of many people. I feel like myself in all of these roles because each and everyone of them has been a part of my life for so long and I have become accustomed to doing each and every one of them everyday.

My Roles (graded)

I play many roles but the most important roles i play are girlfriend, student, godmother, and daughter. Being a girlfriend takes a lot of your time. When you are a girlfriend you are expected to be your boyfriends everything for example; if his car breaks down you have to drive him places, if he is at work you have to bring him food (well you don't have to but it is sort of part of the relationship to bring them food or cook them food, and they do the same for you). Being a student takes even more time because you are expected to go to every class and do all your homework on time and that takes a lot of work. I am a godmother and i am expected to be another mother to her and that takes A lot out of you. well i don't have to be another mother to her but my friend i pretty much a single mother so i feel like i am expected to do things like that. I am also a daughter and i am expected to be the best i can be at everything and that gets very tiring. I feel most like myself in the role of a girlfriend and when i get married to him i will feel even more like myself.l

My Many Roles

Some of the roles I play in my life are fiance, student, and employee. The most challenging role right now is being an employee at two jobs. I have a full-time job in outside sales which requires me to drive up to 8-9 hours per day to my established accounts sometimes hundreds of miles away. My employer is always expecting me to know what is going on with all of my accounts and it is very difficult to do that having the size territory that I have. Now that I am taking classes here at MSCTC, it has become extremely hard to stay awake sometimes behind the wheel of my company vehicle after staying up late doing homework and studying. Although I will be done at this job the end of May(so that I can take some summer classes), I still am trying to do my best to service all my accounts until then. My part-time job relates more to the career field that I am going to school for (nursing), but it has more physical challenges. I am a CNA at a nursing home here in Fargo every other Saturday and Sunday, and my shift starts at 6am. So with working so much, it is hard to have a life much less do my schoolwork. I am so thankful that my fiance is so very supportive. He has done so many things to help me out with my busy schedule. Just doing a load of laundry for me is a godsend sometimes but his encouragement means even more. I haven't had much time to plan our wedding but hopefully in a few months when my schedule is more accomodating I can settle down and get that organized. My role as a student currently is the most demanding of my time, but I try to keep reminding myself of the bigger picture and that pretty much keeps me going to fulfill my desire of a college degree.

Me Three... (Graded)

With so many roles in my life i've noticed i am a different person for each role. One role that i am currently having to play is the role of a student. Being a student has many challenges. Not only do you have to make sure your on class on time, everytime there is class; you also have to spend all your freetime preparing for those classes. You are expected to complete your work on time no matter what and do well on tests. Trying to fit everything in your schedule is very challenging when you a student. The expectations of trying to be a student are definitely the hardest that i've had to keep up with.
Another role that i play everyday is a friend to many people. This is a very enjoyable role that i feel most like myself. In front of your friends, you can do or say what your feeling or thinking and have a discussion about it. Also being a friend means you have to be there for your other friends in times of need. Your friends expect you to hang out with them every once in awhile. Maybe go out for a few drinks to catch up on things and eachothers lives. At the same time i expect them to be there for me also whenever I am going through tough times.
As an employee i am expected to show up to work on time, and while i'm there give every effort to do a good job. My current job expects me to know things about all sorts of fish, small animals, reptiles, and birds. They also expect me to be courteous to each and every customer. This role I do not feel like myself for the most part, just because I have to act formal and well, i'm not to formal and love to just be relaxed.

My Many Roles

In my life I play many roles. But the most important ones are an employee, a student and an aunt.

As an employee, my boss expects me to show up on time and respect my co-workers and customers in the store. I am expected to give my all while helping a customer. As a student, my teachers expect me to show up on time, study hard, and to turn in my assignments on time. As an aunt and godmother I am expected to show my love to nieces and nephews. I am a godmother to my first niece Isabella... as a godmother I am expected to guide her through her faith in God and help her understand to the best of my ability. This reflects who I truly am because I love my family and would do anything for them. I love being with my nieces and nephews and watching them grow and learn new things.

My Dream Job

Dreams have always amazed me. To think that you have around 5-7 dreams a night, but choose to sometimes remember none. I am mostly interested in lucid dreaming. That is when you "awaken" in your dream, and can basically control your dream world. I have always had the burning desire to help unlock the secrets of this waking unconsciousness. I haven't officially decided that it is what I am going to do with my life, and have always just figured if it was meant to be, it would happen. Because it is a very slim field, there are not an abundance of programs out there. To be a successful dream researcher I would ideally want to find a graduate program, with a focus on dreaming and sociology. From there I would hope to have my own research facility to conduct research.

My many roles (graded)

In my personal life, I am a mother, an employee and a student. Being a mother has several roles in itself. I am a chauffeur, a cook, a nurse, a teacher and sometimes a banker (according to my children). In this role, I feel more like myself. My children do not care that I have spaghetti stains on my shirt from stirring the sauce and I am not required to act professional or holdback my emotions when I am angry or hurt. The most challenging part about being a mother is trying to be a good role model for my children. But of all the roles, this one is my favorite. Being a mother can be very hard, but can be very rewarding when I look at my children’s accomplishments and know that I am a part of what makes them who they are.

As an employee, my co-workers and managers expect me to show up for work on time and put 100% into my job. I am expected to act professional, dress professional and must always direct my frustrations in a pleasant way (easier said than done). I am expected to always have a smile on my face regardless if I am frustrated with a client or not. This is a challenging role for me as my job requires a lot of communication with a lot of customers and clients and sometimes those customers and clients can really frustrate me. Having to holdback the frustration can be extremely exhausting.

As a student, I am expected to complete my work to the best of my ability, be respectful to my fellow students and teachers, follow directions, study hard and show up for class on time. This is my most challenging role as it requires most of my extra time and energy. I have been out of school for more than 15 years and it is extremely challenging to get back into the study mode. It is hard to balance my time between family and school.

The Many Roles In My Life!

I play many roles in my life. The three major roles that I play are a parent, girlfriend, and student. Being a parent has many expectations. I have my own expectations for myself on what kind of a parent I think I should be and then there is everyone else's expectations on what kind of a parent I should be. Being a parent is not easy but it's the best role to play and I wouldn't change that for anything. Another role I play is being a girlfriend. As a girlfriend I have to live up to the expectations of my boyfriend. It's a fairly easy role to play. My boyfriend doesn't ask much of me except to be me which makes it the easiest role to play. I feel most like me. The hardest role I have to play is being a student. I haven't been a student for so long. There are many expectations like studying, doing my homework, and making sure I keep up on all of my classes. It takes a lot to try to juggle all three roles.

The roles I play. (Graded)

There are many different roles that I play in my life and all are very important. I am a sister, a girlfriend, a student and a co-worker. All these roles i play in my life make me who i am today. As a sister of five other siblings and me being one of the youngest i looked up to my siblings. As my younger brother looks up to me. There was never a dull moment in our house when i was growing up. There were constant fights going on but yet i wouldn't change it for anything. Having a big family is so much fun and when we get together no one stops laughing, what a change from our younger years!! I am also a co-worker. Being a hairstylist is difficult at times but the most difficult thing about being a hairstylist is all the women you have to work with. Working with women on a daily basis gets to be tough. There aren’t any men there to just say enough already. Women all complain a lot and if they don’t get there way someone will hear about it. But everyday is different at my place of work and when were not complaining we are chatting and having a great time. I am also a student. Being a student is the most challenging role in my life right now. Its really hard to concentrate on school work and work at the same time. I am constantly trying to do better and make myself achieve goals i have set for myself. and last but not least i am also a girlfriend. In this role I feel most like me. Being around my boyfriend makes me who i am. I am happy, I have no worries, I am myself. I don't have to act like someone else to please people. I can be myself and have someone love me for everything i do. All the other roles make me who i am but being a girlfriend make's me feel more like me.
