Feedback Thoughts

The first article I read was, "Why rejection hurts so much- and what to do about it". This article is very prevalent in today's society, especially in the social media scene. New generations have this need of "self-belonging" and conforming to society in order to be liked. Rejection is good, the way people take it needs to be altered, which this article helped to do. It is better in the long to build our self-esteem and not let rejection take a hit to that, because in the long run it will help individuals be there true self. Most college students know the pain of being rejected by a college one really wanted to go to- instead of letting it hold you back, learn from it. Personally, I was rejected by a school that I thought I wanted to go to. Eventually, I found the place I needed to be elsewhere and that rejection helped shape me into finding where I belonged.

"Why It's So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback" is another article I found very helpful. 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 Jinal Wani

Hi! My name is Jinal Wani, I am twenty one years old and a third year undergraduate student here at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently studying health and exercise science in hopes of one day being a physical therapist or an athletic trainer. I grew up in Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb on the outskirts of Dallas. I grew up in a household with my mom, dad, brother and dog. My brother is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in mechanical engineering.  Although I am a third year student, this is only my second semester attending the University of Oklahoma. My first two years of undergraduate school were spent at the University of Texas at Austin, of course I just had to make the switch between the two most rivalous schools. I found myself in Austin to be very lost amidst the big city, and overwhelmed with the culture shock from my hometown to a busy part of town. It took a lot of humbling myself to finally admit I needed to make a change

Storytelling: The Twins

Image
Once upon a time there lived two twin girls who lived in an attic of a beautiful mansion. They were the servant girls of a horrific woman and her three daughters. The two twin girls lost their family long ago to a car accident and found themselves with no place to live and no money. The girls, Sarah and Tara, accepted jobs as maids in order to support themselves and gain a place to live. Their boss made them do ridiculous tasks just because she had to the right to. She had a tight leash on them because she knew that they had very little money and would not survive on their own.  One day when Tara and Sarah were cleaning the homeowner’s closet, they came across something quite peculiar. Tucked away in a corner, was a plethora of gold bars. The girls had never laid their eyes on anything as precious and valuable as this. They were overcome with mixed emotions as they pondered what to do. Sarah thought they should leave it alone as the mother might notice they were gone, but Tara sugge
