Moving and Shaking

First Steps
The next couple of steps that I took for this week was I picking my classes for next semester and I registered for them. I regisitered for a sociology class and I am very much excited to take it. Another step that I did was to study hard for my Biology exam that I am going to be taken on Monday.

Reflecting on Fear
One resistance that I experienced throught the steps of trying to achieve my goal was when I was making the decision of continuing to take chem 112. When I was a bio major it was required of me to take and pass it. When I switched to over to psychology I knew that it was no longer needed in order for me to pursue that degree. I wasn't doing as well as I wanted to in the chem 112 course so it was a major decision for me when I decided that I would drop. I knew that dropping was going ot hurt my gps but I was willing to take that risk only due to the fact that I know that in the future of me taking other courses in the future pertaining to psychology and going towards OP (Occupational Therapy) that I would do way better and I would be able to better my gpa later along down the line. I was going to be changing alot dealing like with the courses I would be be taking and the schooling I would do after undergraduate school. It was also that fear of me telling my pareents and all the others who knew that I was going to school planning on becoming a doctor. I would have to say that I was going through the stage fright fear instead of survival fear because I actually have strolled down the path of majoring in bio and taking some of the required courses instead of just straying away from it without trying. I gave it a shot but realized that it just wouldn't work out for me. With the encouragement of switching my major from people like my advisor and another advisor in the athletic apartment, I was able to make the big change about my career path. the underlying message was being able to do something wrong and right but still being able to go through it. I moved through my fear by having encouragement of others. If I was alone in it, I don't think that it would have been easy on me to go through the steps.

  2. I know what's it's like to change your major & have to talk to your parents. Sometimes parents understand more than you give them credit for.
