Feedback Thoughts

 The first article I read was, "Why rejection hurts so much- and what to do about it". This article makes a lot of sense in modern society, especially in regard to social media. New generations have a need for "self-belonging" and conforming to society in order to be liked. Rejection is good but the way people accept that rejection needs to be changed, which this article sought to do. It is better in the long run to build our self-esteem and not let rejection damage it, because in the long run it will help individuals be there true self. Some college students may know the pain of being rejected by a college. Instead of letting it hurt them, they should learn from the experience. Personally, I have experienced rejection in all different types of ways. I have been rejected by jobs, by schools, and by people. However I have used these experiences to shape who I am and become stronger. 

"Why It's So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback" is another article I found to be very helpful regarding this topic.No one ever addresses the deliverer of negative feedback, and that role is crucial in performing correctly. Often times, we find ourselves so affected by negative feedback because we expect it to be delivered in a hard hitting, criticizing way. But if we change the exchange overall, it can be better between both the speaker and listener. Criticism is not something we should fear, it is something to be embraced because every little detail goes into developing into the best person, problem, situation it can amount to be.

Introduction to Carly the Future Counselor

Image
Hi! My name is Carly Capulli and I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I will be graduating this December, with a major in child psychology and a minor in Spanish. Personally, I think that my major is really interesting. I get to study how the mind works and why people are the way that they are, with a specific focus on children. I absolutely love kids! I have known since I was a child that I would one day work with children in some way, and that has never changed. I have never even changed my major! After attending graduate school, my ultimate goal is to become a trauma counselor for children in the foster care system. Last semester was tough for everyone I can imagine, however I did feel very accomplished in that I achieved A's in every one of my classes, with all of them being fully online. This taught me that I am very self-disciplined and can work on my own quite well.  I do not read much and I hardly have the patience to sit through a movie, but I do have many favorite

The Cheetah and the Impala: Week 2 Story

Image
Updated story can be found at: https://sites.google.com/view/carlypotfolio/  A large, fast Cheetah ruled the desert in Africa. He was getting very frustrated because all of the animals kept hiding from him. He was so hungry, and decided that he needed to devise a plan to trap his prey. When he stumbled upon a group of Hares, the Cheetah approached kindly saying, "Hello, Hares I come in peace! I am here to warn you!" "Warn us about what?" asked the Hares.  "The Lions are coming to kill you! I want to protect you! I can get you out of here quickly!" replied the Cheetah.  "Why should we trust you? You want to eat us!" shouted the Hares.  "I have had a change of heart and I want to protect all who live in the desert." lied the Cheetah.  The Hares were far too dumb to understand the Cheetah's deceit and far too scared to think it over. In groups of three, the Hares climbed onto the back of the Cheetah and let him carry them away. However
