I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost seven years. We have had our ups and downs like all relationships but we’ve always been able to overcome our problems. However, our biggest challenge is when I moved to Florida for graduate school. Instead of us moving to Florida together, I decided that it was best that I moved by myself while he stayed in North Carolina. This way I could focus solely on school. We knew that me moving, communication would be a very important aspect of our relationship. Communication was great when school first started, I had a lot of extra time to call and talk for hours. Now since school has gotten a little more hectic, I feel like I don’t have time to spend on the phone to talk for hours because …show more content…
He is three years older than me. Most people our age are becoming more serious in their relationships. Some are getting married and starting families. Many people our age are also in school trying to continue their education. I know that my boyfriend understands the importance of my education and completely supports me in following my goals of becoming an occupational therapist. While I am a full time student and working part-time, my boyfriend has a full-time job. I feel that since he does not have to work and go to school, he does not fully understand the pressure and stress of everything that I have to do. I have to manage my time with studying for classes around the times that I work. I also know that I need to study with a group in order to retain information better, so whenever I am not working I spend the rest of my time studying with classmates. I do this to help catch up on the time that I missed studying while I was working. I feel like since we are at that age where most of the people we know are starting to settle down and start families, he may be ready to do the same things. Since I am hundreds of miles away and as my time here progresses, his feelings of loneliness increases, so when I don’t call or text can be hard on …show more content…
My boyfriend came to me with a problem he was having in our relationship about my lack of communication with him recently. His message to me was complete and clear,by letting me know what exactly I was doing that was making him feel ignored. He was also concise and cohesive by only sticking to the one topic and not bringing up past problems. He was even courteous in the way he confronted me about this problem. However. I was not courteous at all in my response to his feeling and felt that there was nothing that I could do to fix the problem and he should just accept it. This was the wrong way to deal with the problem at hand. I should have calmly listened to what he had to say before blowing things out of proportion right away. I also think that the tone in my voice when I responded back could have been different also. In order to fix this problem I agreed to try to better plan when I would call him and try not to take as long responding to his text messages. In the end, we needed to cohesively work together to come up with a solution to our communication
I am Cristen Sudduth, a native of Jackson, MS. Throughout my life, I have observed and encountered several accounts of resilience. Including times when my siblings and I would hurt ourselves by playing our various sports a little too rough which led to temporarily altering our daily lifestyle.

I have always had the intense desire to care and look after people from a very young age. I firmly believe that everyone deserves the best quality of life possible and this is what had drawn me to occupational therapy as a career path in the first place. It is so easy to take for granted all the everyday tasks we can do and we seldom consider the effect of not being able to complete them. As an occupational therapist I would be able to make a positive impact on someone’s life and make it possible for them to enjoy their life. I want the opportunity to provide support to people, help them gain independence and watch them grow more confident in their own ability.
Becoming an occupational therapist is my passion and my long-term career goal. Since a young age I have been incredibly inspired and motivated to befriend and help disabled individuals. Having grown up with a disabled mother who benefited from the services of occupational therapy I had the opportunity to see first hand how the experience gave can give individuals like her fulfilling and productive lives. With both parents working as healthcare professionals, including my mother who is now an occupational therapist herself, I see every day how rewarding the field is. Through my life I have had unique personal, professional and educational experiences that have shaped me into a strong candidate for an advanced education in occupational therapy.

Mindful communication is one of the most vital parts of a relationship. Without thoughtful conversation and sharing one’s emotions, a relationship is destined for failure and discontent. While it is not uncommon for a relationship to end as a result of this specific dissatisfaction, it is an everyday problem that is typically ignored. Miscommunication is a part of life but unfortunately even small misunderstandings can be cause for disaster. In Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot by Robert Olen Butler, this theme is conveyed perfectly through the eyes of an interesting and oddly relatable human-turned-bird.
As well as any serious conversation should be said face to face. No texting or e-mailing a partner regarding a serious matter than needs talking through to resolve. There is no better form of communication than face to
It’s been a rough journey trying to find a career that I am interested in for my profession. When I discovered occupational therapy, I didn’t know much about the field. A family friend of mine was the one who introduced, because I always knew that I wanted to work with families and infants. I then did some research and found occupational therapy that specializes in infants. I wasn’t aware that you could be an occupational therapist that works with infants, until the end of my senior year of high school.
