There are three groups of people in my life that I have relationships with. These three groups impact my life in a positive way on a daily basis. I could not imagine my life without positive relationships.
They three groups are as followed with characteristics that show our positive relationship:
Family:
- unconditional love
- laughter
-trust
-support
-expressiveness
-personal growth
Friends:
-unconditional love
-laughter
-trust
-support
-expressiveness
-personal growth
Some difficulties keeping a friendship in tact is time and distance. I had a great group of friends in high school and thought they were going to be my friends forever. Realistically, we are now friendly acquaintances. As I have grown in my 20's I have developed new friendships that fit where I am in my adult life.
Colleagues:
-partnership in education
-respect
-support
-personal growth
-expressiveness
I believe that my colleagues, especially the ones that are in my classroom (ie. therapists, psychologists, program specialists) have/need to maintain positive relationships and partnerships. I see my colleagues and I being in a partnership because we are all working together to provide quality education for the children we work with.
Emily,
ReplyDeleteI like how you divided your relationships into categories of family, friends and professional colleagues. When you have colleagues you can relate to and communicate well, it makes for a great working relationships. Those who are opinionated and not open to communication make for a stressful working atmosphere. When working with children that type of relationship can be detrimental not only to staff but the students they are charged in teaching.
Emily,
ReplyDeleteIt was a great idea to break up your relationships into categories, I liked that. I very much agree with the bullets you listed under each category, there are many that overlap in friendships and family. Having colleagues you can count on to help and have great communication with makes working towards your Master's an enjoyable one. Thanks.
