Journal 3

Question 1: What activities am I currently avoiding because they are out of my comfort zone?

Currently I'm not really avoiding any activities; however, for longer then I can remember I use to always avoid trying new foods. Is funny as it sounds I used to eat all the same foods no matter if I ate at home or went out to dinner. Here lately I have been eating out more since I have not had much time between work, the kids activities and school.  So far I have had good experiences trying new things. My husband say " he is glad I'm changing it up lately." LOL. I have a couple new favorite restaurants to say the least. I feel that avoiding something because it may be out of a persons comfort zone is not allowing personal growth. Even though I do not currently have activities that I'm avoiding, I am sure at some point in the future something will come up. I am going to ensure that I always keep an open mind and except change when necessary.

Question 2: Discuss 3 things that have gone well in my life which I am proud.

First off I want to talk of my greatest achievement which is the three beautiful children I had. They are the reason I work as hard as I do to provide for them each and everyday.  Its not easy let me tell you, but I would not change it for anything in this world. Each one of my kids test me almost daily...One day is smooth sailing and the next I feel I want to pull my hair out. I'm sure lots of you can relate! Secondly, I want to talk about school. For the most part I have always been an over achiever and some what OCD about things. I took and continue to take a lot of pride in school and the effort I put in it. I hold myself to very high standards and will not allow myself to fail or even slack. Lastly, I moved from California to Missouri 5 years ago and with out doing that I would not be where I am today and I'm very grateful to all who has helped my family along the way. I own my own home before I'm thirty, I don't have to worry about the outside environment my kids grow up in or the school they go to. Also, I have good friends and a good job. What more could I ask for? Nothing but health, love and our future.

Question 3: Where have I already achieved a goal and need to set a new one?

I have already achieved the goal of going back to school. I went back and forth on this subject for some time now; additionally, I doubted myself and sometimes felt as if I could not do it or that I've been out of school for so long that I would loose focus and especially do to it being an online classroom. i am very proud of myself so far. I have done way better that I thought I would do just starting.  This class I'm taking has really helped me focus on goals that I have, the ways I can achieve them and my future and what I want it to look like. I have set the goal to be on Presidents Honor Roll. So far I feel that this is a goal that is highly achievable and I will make it. I continue to look forward to new classes and challenges that come up along the way. I especially am excited about starting my career as a Medical Assistant this next year.
