Self-Discipline

5 Areas of my life that lack discipline:
            1. Socializing- I will choose to hang out with friends over studying
            2. Procrastinating- I'll hold off my main priority until the last minute
            3. Family- I have just recently realized how precious family time is and that you should not take it for granted.
            4. Peer Pressure- Not necessarily anything bad but I can be convinced pretty easily by my friends
            5. Food- I cannot say no to any of my favorite foods, although I eat healthy organic food if I see a sweet that I like I will eat it!!

                  I definitely could improve all of these by increasing my time management skills, realize that I can socialize anytime after I get my stuff done and that studying is the most important. My mother has a great deal of discipline, she is able to get everything done within each day. She sets goals and ALWAYS meets them. Balancing a home and a career is difficult but she makes it look easy. I am accountable for my actions and grades. Whether it being to other people or myself. I am the only person who is accountable for me. My parents and friends help out but inevitably I have to make the best decisions concerning me.

My Mission

I am at my best when I am around my family..
I will try to prevent times when I am stressed out..
I will enjoy my work by finding employment where I can I love getting to know people within my working atmosphere and building lasting relationships..
I will find enjoyment in my personal life through spending time with my family, friends and traveling. .
I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as being a good friend, dancing and listening. .
I can do anything I set my mind to. I will travel the world, eat brand new food and experience different cultures..
My life's journey is to better the world for not only myself but others around me. Through traveling and helping those who aren't as fortunate because in the end everyone plays a role in this world..
I will be a person who my children, grand children and great grand children, and my closest friends will look up to. I will be known for being understanding and forgiving to everyone in life..
My most important future contribution to others will be the ability to help anyone of the important people financially and emotionally to any single one of their needs..

I will stop procrastinating and start working on: my self.

  • I should listen to other people's words more closely and fully understand what they are saying not just how I hear it and interpret it.

I will strive to incorporate the following attributes into my life:

  • Directness 
  • Musical brilliance
  • Visionary

I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life:

  • Yoga
  • Positive thinking
  • Reading
  • Discussions

OU Mission

I am living the OU Mission statement! The University of Oklahoma is living and following through with their mission statement. I can honestly say that I have learned more this semester than I have in a year of high school. The Professors are excellent and I have enjoyed listening and participating in lectures. I am impressed with the amount of service students and faculty do not only for our campus but for the state of Oklahoma. They provide and offer great sources for any questions I might have. I can go to any building and find courteous and helpful people to interact with. I don't think anything needs to change but maybe the spirit could increase a little, but other than that there's nothing I would change about OU!!! :)
