05/28/21; Week 6: Response to "Attributional Tendencies"

    I want to share with you something very personal, I can say that it is something very special, something very deep and sensitive about my life. As I shared in my previous post, I had a very beautiful childhood with my brothers and my mother, as time went by we reached adolescence and due to life circumstances my mother undertook a trip to another country and I never thought that from that moment would begin our independent adventure and survival in the real world, the life.

    This adventure begins with the fact that I had just graduated from high school and wanted to enroll in the university, and I said; I am going to take a break for a year and the next I will go back to my studies, but it was not like that, that next year I got a job and I loved having my own money and being able to afford my own expenses without the help of my mom or dad, and it really took five years of working non-stop, but then I started to feel that I was stuck, that I needed something else to get ahead, then I saw that several of my friends were about to graduate from university and I started to feel sad with myself by saying; I would also be about to graduate and become a professional. So, because of these events, I enrolled in university to study Law, but I failed because the degree did not meet expectations and closed, and thus another year came over me, a year passed and a degree opened that caught my attention and there my studies took their course.

    I have had training based on many falls, which are undoubtedly the ones that have prompted me to get up and thanks to God with more strength each time. While I was training as a professional, I changed jobs until I found one that fits my studies to have theoretical knowledge and complement it with specific work experience, but that never happened, because when we are independent we have to work on what is available, and it could not be otherwise. I am aware of my failures, because they are mine and no one else is to blame for that, but I can say that if my parents had been together, things would have happened earlier. I finally obtained my university degree as an Engineer in Human Resources Administration, but life is sometimes unpredictable, because that degree led me to get the best job in the world that I love so much and I do it with a lot of passion; today I am a teacher and I feel too proud of that, of serving my community, that really makes me feel successful.

    I have always believed that my Heavenly Father protects my brothers and me, because we grew up alone within a lot of vulnerability and he, the Holy Ghost never allowed something bad to happen to us, and even fall into temptations or bad steps, I can say that we succeeded, since we are good people and we are useful to community. Today I can say that my life is not so complete, but I do feel fulfilled and satisfied with myself, because I have been moving forward little by little and I am beginning to reap the fruit of that sacrificed effort throughout my life, and for all that effort today I am what I am and I owe it everything to my Heavenly Father, amen.
