Drinking Reflection

Decent Essays
I was suspended for five day from October 26-30th for drinking. As part of my suspension i’m doing The Student Intervention and Reintegration Program or SIRP. I learned that when i make decisions based on what other people want I can only hurt my self. I did smoothen I knew was wrong to try to gain new friends and improve my social status. When I first got caught and found out a friend had turned me I was very upset and angry, but know I understand they where only looking out for me and trying to help me. I blamed them for running my future but now I understand that it was my fault and i have to except the damages it has done to my goals and future plans.

Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track.

    Fall River Reflection

    Over the course of my visits to Fall River I think that my capacity to observe my environment and the factories stayed consistent. I naturally pay attention to minute factors and functions of my surroundings which I think is why I tended to focus on the machines and the smaller aspects of the factory. I also tend to be more reserved in social situations which lends myself to not being as willing to approach people, particularly because of the language barriers we faced at both factories and that such a great number of the employees did not wish to participate in the project. I think that over the course of my visits I was able to conceptualize all of the small parts of the factories and understand how they work in unison but I was not able…

    I was constantly left out of things and had to push my way back into conversations.
