I hope you all feel slightly inspired to improve something in your life even if it's something little like my cursing habit. I believe in the long run, it will pay off and it will be noticed. Also, you'll feel better about yourself -you get that extra boost of confidence :) -Peace&Love

Improving Thy Self
The "Improving Self-Concept" caught my attention the most. It was a pretty lengthy section but to sum it all up, there are many factors in our lives that need to be considered before making a change. At a certain point in our lives, we come to a crossroad where we feel like our mentalities just don't seem to fit so we want to alter that. It is very afflicting when you have the people who know you the best not agreeing with the change. My question is: What are we suppose to do, are they really my friends, who's really going to understand? I love this concept though because for myself, I am a very outgoing and outspoken individual. I can be humble when necessary but for most of the time I'm just really bubbly. Coming into college, I wanted to be in the back of the crowd, be the observer; but that definitely did not happen. I realized that that is apart of my character, that is really who I am. Now my cursing habit, I do want to improve on that; and like the book stated "Set Goals That Are Realistic and Fair". I am really trying to cut back on the habit, I am seeing a great deal of improvement, little by little. I have to constantly remind myself that it isn't lady like and it goes against my moral values and religion. I don't want to be seen as the intelligent girl with a sailor's mouth.

This was a nice concept you chose to write about. It is not a wise thing to stop at the information someone tells us in class or any gathering that gives a lot of information. I used to have a friend a long time, in my 12 grade at my high school, who told me he knows what a computer looks like, heard friends talk about it, but he didn’t know how to operate it, funny right. Sad to say, that’s what so many people stop at “information”, but have no clue of how to function in what they know. Improving self-concept is a personal decision we have to make, by setting goals for ourselves and also not limiting our capacity to what we can achieve.
