Goals/Ambitions/Career
I have always wanted to graduate and go to college early,possibly at 15 or younger.When I do go to college, I want to study in various fields in case my goal as a best-selling author doesn't work out.I would also like to become a teacher like my neighbor and soon-to-be uncle-in-law Taimak Willis.
Micro Conflict Poem
Jerald
Smart,fun,cautious,and nice
Who loves my mom,silence,and video games
Who hates being mean,gnats,and hot days
Who is happy when I am on a family trip,I give someone a present,or when I take a walk
Who is sad when I say or do something mean,I get in trouble,or I am too busy with schoolwork
Who gets excited about advanced classes and school breaks
Who gets angry about disruptive people and when people steal from me
Who feels safe when I am at home or when I’m at school
Who fears strangers and getting bad grades

How I Resolve Coflict:The Teddy Bear
Teddy Bears are Accomodating, meaning that they find their relationship with other people more important than achieving their own goals.Teddy Bears want to be accepted and liked by other people.They do not like to discuss their conflict with people in fear of destroying the relationship with friends or family.Some of the upsides to being a Teddy Bear is that people take it as a goodwill gesture when you resolve the conflict in the opponent's favor while a downside is that people do not pay much attention to your own needs.
