I Got the Power

 

 

      During tough situations in my life, I've noticed my power of patience. My patience was strengthened while I worked at my last job as a nurses' assistant. My patience is put to the test everyday, at work,home and school. I've noticed it takes inner strength to be patient. Its not easy sometimes but I try to remind myself of the end result. In the end you are respected more and your attitude  is always appreciated,People always remember the good things you do for them.

  

     While working, I  deal with a lot of people that rush, are impatient, and sometimes rude. My customers come in and they are expecting top service, fast and accurate. I try to be efficient in all I do, even when I'm under pressure and pushed. I've noticed my strength and how important it is. Even when I'm aggressively pushed, I keep my cool. I look at my situation and try to fix it, so everyone is happy. It makes my job easier. I've had an experience where I've lost my patience and learned that I can't let other peoples' attitude affect me. I work too hard. Once I had a young man disrespect me for not giving him a discount. I got out of character and stooped down to his level, treating him as he was treating me. It felt good to stand up for myself but it wasn't like me to fight. I felt vulnerable but most of all ashamed that I let this boy change my attitude. Today, I try to stay professional at work.

     

Everyday, I remind myself to practice patience in all I do because it helps me get through a lot. I work too hard to let other people affect my work and my life. I try to stay in control of myself and what I'm doing. My co-workers tell me I am very patient and that helps keep me on  track.Sometimes its hard but if I keep practicing I'll have the power to get through so much more.

 

 

 

   

 

 

When I was a Limitless Child

 When I was a limitless child...

I ran, I raced, I won. I was golden. Kissed by the sun.

 Happy, free like a butterfly. Limitless I was.

A little girl, curious about the big-wide world.

Hop scotch,double dutch-

games I knew. Kickball after school. 

A child with hopes, dreams and laughter. 

Needing someone just to look after me. I was a busy bee.

Filled with glee. 

I danced, I hoped and dreamed. Had hopes and dreams bigger, wider deeper than any see.

These child hood days, there were no fears. 

Just love, family, pets and fluffy teddy bears. Holidays, happy every year.

 I had a sweet child hood. January through December, a child is a child, let them live, laugh, learn and 

stay limitless forever.
