My Goals

1-Improve relationship with my family
2-Improve my Englsih (Speaking and Listening)
3-Find out my major, and get a job that relates to my major

1: One of the problem within my family is lack of communication. In fact, I rarely talk to my parents. My mother often talks to me, but not communicates with me. Mostly she just starts out talking to me and tells me what is good what is bad, what to do and what not to do, taking me as a child. My silence seems to be OK with her. I try to express my mind and she doesn't seem to care. She just goes on talking, and sometimes feels hurt if I say something back to her, so I stop.
But I will continue working on it, even so I feel it will take years and may not succeed.

2: I have been learning English for about 7 years. My problems are lack of speaking, and listening with attention. I do not have a close friend who speaks English very well. But that could be an excuse. I must put myself in a situation that I have to speak in English in order to communicate and perform daily tasks. I seldom watch TV and movies, not to mention whether they are in English. I need to speak and listen, with attention.

3:My major is Finance and Investment. I am taking Principles of Finance this semester. I don't feel I like it or dislike it. All I know is I'm taking it, and I have been spending least time on this course. I'm planning to go to a Major Fair later in this semester. My job after my graduate? Not that I am optimistic, but I don't worry as much now.

Handling Conflict?

First of all, i got a B- without been curved. Keep this in mind, because I think the grade each one of got greatly influence, if not directly reflect, the attitude toward what we have to say. (As we all have seen in class, outgoing ones usually cry out what's best for them, while "quiet" ones experience ups and downs in their little hearts : )

Going through the definitions of the five processes, frankly, each of them didn't fit very well to me. because t didn't matter to me if the final decision were curving or dropping, as long as we came to a consensus in the end. For I well know that if we couldn't get unanimous consensus, we would just blew the opportunity. So I was willing to go alone with the majority disregarding whether it would be the best for me. (Surprisingly, we made it with both curving and dropping)(how many of you were like me?)

If I were the leader in a situation like this, I would do pretty much do the same like what it had been going, the reason can be simply that, we made it. It could serve a good example/model for me to follow.(Isn't it that in our life we look forward to people who succeed and try to learn their ways and hope to become successful? So we made it, why not in this case?)
The only thing I would do differently, since I am now looking back for what had happened, I would, in the beginning, to educate and let every voter be well-informed, about the nature of our situation, that is, we MUST get 100% votes if we were to have anything done. I would ask the voters, for any of you who would like to disengage because you are not interested, you may delegate your vote to anyone who is interested. If anyone would not vote because the nature of the vote is against your ethics, ask the professor if he can count you out, so that whatever the result would be, it wouldn't hurt your ethics, because you did not participate in the process.
