Feedback Thoughts

I personally love getting back constructive feedback on my work. I feel like it helps me better my education and my work while also pointing out that there are things that I can improve. That being said, I am also no stranger to rejection. Whether that rejection is for a job opportunity or for classwork, I think feedback is so important. In the Why Rejection Hurts So Much article, it explains that the greatest hurt that rejection causes is usually self-inflicted and hurts your own self-esteem. I think this article is a great read for people of all ages and in all fields of work. It is important to know realize, especially for myself, that rejection makes your stronger and helps you grow as a person. An example I can think of from back in high school was when I didn't get the top position on my dance team. Of course I was upset when it first happened and I took the rejection out on my self-esteem and my confidence. As time went on, I was able to find out the reasons I was rejected and I eventually learned and grew from that experience to not like things like that get be down anymore. As cliche as it sounds, I figured out that everything happens for a reason and my purpose on that team was not to serve as the top position but rather I was able to serve in a different position and have the same amount of effect. In relation to that article, I think A Fixed Mindset article also pointed out some very telling and important aspects to feedback and criticism. I think by learning how to deal with feedback and criticism, our minds work in a more mature way where we can deal with different situations as they come to us and not make rash decisions.

Introduction to a future PA

Hi everyone, my name is Lindsey. I am a junior here at the University of Oklahoma. I am originally from the Dallas, TX area much like a big portion of the students here at OU. My major is Health and Exercise Science, pre-PA. I have always been interested in sports and sport related injuries so I plan to become a PA for an orthopedic surgeon. The coolest thing about being a Health and Exercise Science major, or any major that is on a medical track, is that you have to take anatomy here at the university. The really unique thing about OU's anatomy course is that it is with cadaver. While that may freak most people out, the opportunities OU students have with having a cadaver experience really help for later admission into medical and graduate programs. Out of all my classes I have taken so far, that class would have to be the most challenging but also the coolest experience. As I said earlier, I am a big sports girl and root for all the Dallas teams, the Dallas Stars and

Week 5 Story: The It Couple

Updated version of the story located at College and Karma . (Express Your Love; Source: Needpix ) At the University of Oklahoma, Ryan and Sarah were the couple to be. Everyone envied what they had and wanted a relationship like theirs, even if it meant ruining their relationship. Ryan and Sarah were juniors at the university, but the moment they locked eyes at a frat party one Halloween night during freshman year, they were hooked. It was love, and lust, at first sight. Sarah was a preacher's daughter and had only had short relationships in high school while Ryan was Mr. Popular Jock and definitely made a reputation for himself as a player. Let's just say, high school Sarah and Ryan probably would not have been a thought in anyone's mind. Sarah was the sweet, loyal girl who was friends with everyone and Ryan was the jock that was a part of the exclusive, "cool" crowd. Sarah's dad, Joe, being a preacher, was very strict and concerned about who his dau
