Feedback Thoughts

I read about The Psychology of Comparison and How to Stop and Five Steps for Taking Feedback Like a Champ. In both of these articles, the main theme was that everyone feels the pressure of trying to stand up to other people's work and how important it is to stay true to yourself.

I learned that although you may be on an uncomfortable platform, it is important to keep doing your absolute best. I also learned that it is important to not compare yourself or your work to anyone else. I definitely think that college is a difficult place to stay away from the trap of comparison, but I do believe that it is important to try our best in order benefit ourselves.

I also think that because of the way that we are utilizing feedback in this class, it is also important to remember these things when we are giving feedback to people and that we should keep their feelings in mind as well as we choose our words.

    Feedback can be really tough to receive sometimes but for me it’s even harder to GIVE! I am always afraid that I will say the wrong thing or someone will be hurt. This class has actually been really helpful for me with that. Just practicing made it easier.

    It can be really hard not to compare yourself to others, I agree. You see them just nailing it and being successful and it can feel so shameful when you don’t meet those same standards...but what you can’t see is the times they fail or the times when you actually surpass them in other areas.

Introduction to My Dream Life

All About Me Hello! My name is Bailey DeFilippo. I am a senior political science major. I chose to be a political science major because I wanted to go into federal law enforcement. I have recently changed my academic course and I have decided to go to graduate school next year for social work. I am hoping to be accepted into the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University. After completing graduate school I would like to go into clinical social work and work with underprivileged children.  Some things that I enjoy are: listening to both country and christian music, watching Friends on Netflix, and spending time with my fiancé and my family. I also enjoy watching my younger brother play basketball and baseball. He has just signed to play baseball at Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. We are all very proud of Chase!  I also enjoy traveling with my family. About a year ago, my parent bought an RV. Since then, we have taken quite a few trips together! We have

Looking Back As Julia sat on the big comfy chair by the foggy window in the coffee shop she took in everything. It was a normal New York afternoon, cloudy skies, a brisk breeze, and the sky looked as if it was about open up heavy rains on the city. In this moment, Julia could not be more content. She was looking out on her favorite city while sipping the best latte. She thought to herself, “ my life is perfect, I cannot believe I almost missed out on this ” .   Julia thought back to a year ago when she refused to move to New York City because she was afraid and did not think she would be successful. She remembered arguing with her parents and telling them that they had no business in where she lived and that they should stop pressuring her to move. Julia almost let out a small giggle because she was so silly to think that this move would have been anything but beneficial. When Julia first arrived in New York, she was really here for the inspiration that this big city would
