Blog # 3 Reading Pgs 7-12




Transition is a process or period in which a gradual change passes from one thing to another.

A transition that I have experienced was when I was a Freshmen in High School. This transition was not bad for me at all, but is the only one I have. I attended Immaculate Heart Of Mary, that was an all girl school. The fact of entering high school frightened me so much. I was so used to of a small 27 class room. I was nervous of the change in my academics and thinking about high school, would make my stomach twist. I adjusted just perfect in an all girl school because, I felt so comfortable and there was nothing to be afraid of. My friends from grammar school were also attending IHM, so did not make the transition to bad.
I clearly remember it was around April and the whole school was called down to the gym. We did not think anything about the all school meeting. This meeting was in reference of the school having to close down. It did not hit me that bad because, there were always other options. My sophmore year, I was then enrolled here, St. Joseph. I adjusted easily as well but the fact of entering now a co-ed was a little harder. I felt that class was going to just seem difficult for me. I believe that this transition has done well for me. It taught me how to speak and not be afraid of asking questions in a co-ed class. It made me feel confident with my ideas with it being co-ed.
After reading the stroy I learned that we are the experiencers and we must experience to know fully what our own definition of living fully trully means. My definition of being fully alive is me being myself and being loved for who I express myself of being. I believe that I do love and I am loved also. Being fully alive to me also represents my experiences and the outcome or effect of that experience. When I have finally become fully alive is living and having my career. For now, I am fully alive with communicating with people, finding myself and searching for the direction of my distination.
I am most eager of working on finding my career. I have so many ideas and careers that i find intresting and relate to alot. I have a lot of courage from my family that make me go into different directions and think differently. The one thing that I am afraid of is "making loving commitments". The day that I commit myself to a man will be tha happiest day of my life after achieving my dreams, but hard. I think that I am afraid of getting into a commitment that i trully believe in and it disappointing me. Im afraid of the most hardest word and it is "Cheaters".
