HERES YOUR ANSWERS PART 1

How do you handle conflicts?

I am generally a very nice and mild mannered person so I rarely come into conflicts. I have a habit of letting things role off my back. It takes a lot to get me mad but I do have a breaking point and if you cross it you will definitely know. I will let my feelings of animosity build up until I will basically start yelling, crying, and shaking because I am so mad. I have never been in a fist fight before although I was close once.

Do you feel that approach is effective? Why or why not?

I don’t feel like my approach is effective most of the time. Because I don’t say anything until the line is crossed then I explode and whoever I get mad at is surprised that there was even a problem. A good thing about this is that since I am rarely angry when I am it REALLY gets the point across and the conflict usually ends.

What is the biggest problem you face?

My problem may not seem major to some people because it is a very common problem with people my age. It is caused by my determination, money issues, and hardheadedness. I believe the biggest problem I face is juggling my schedule and trying to maintain good grades. My family is strictly middle class which seems like it is the worst place to be financially. If you are lower class you can get money from the government to help out and if your family has money then there is less financial strain. The only thing I can get is loans. This means that I have to work my ass off to get money for college. I work 16hours at Wal-Mart on the weekend and I am a student worker at the American Sign Language and Interpreter Education Department at Eastern Kentucky University at least 25 hours a week. Plus I have had AT LEAST 15 credits pretty much every semester since I started college. I know this is a very common problem for many people but it is the biggest problem I face at the moment. So I guess I can consider myself lucky compared to some people.

Describe your childhood and home.

I have very little bad to say about my childhood. I was blessed with a great family that loved and cared for me deeply. When I was a child I spent summers with my grandparents on my father’s side so I wouldn’t have to wake up early in the morning when my parents went to work. I loved spending time there because me and my granddaddy were close. We used to watch wrestling and he had this saying “you want your wiping now or later” (of course kidding) and I would always say later but if I said now he would grab me and tickle me. My parents got divorced when I was in grade school and I didn’t take it well. But now I know it was defiantly for the best.
