Put into Practice : The perceptual process

My maths lecturer is the best person for me to use for my perceptual process. she is the person i can think of right now. In my last semester maths class, i had this lady called Mrs Janet as my maths lecturer. The first day of class when i saw her i was nerve for no reason but i felt i was nervous because i was the only "black" in my class which kind of made me inconvenient at first. It was not easy for me though because when she first introduced herself and she asked all of us to introduce our selves, i felt more nervous but i had to. After that she told us to log into our maths lab and do some orientation work. I had done mine already so i called her attention to come explain some things to me same time another white guy called for her attention so she went to the guy first before coming to me. I was pissed because i called her first and she did not come. Since then i did not like her one bit.

As time went on, i had to tell myself to let away my shyness and smart up in the class so if i have to do anything in class or if i needed her attention she will take me serious. That went on well for me. Anytime i needed her she will come to me even most times she will just come to me and ask if am finding everything okay. I felt loved within me because she was well explanatory and straight forward. That i did not know so when i first spoke to her i thought she was doing favoritism but no i was the one who did not take my time to understand her. Even the day i called her attention first i raised my hand but the guy called out her name so i wont really blame her for that but still she would have still come straight to me first before going to him. So i took that like she did not see my hand. I realized for me to survive and do well in this class i have to be able to speak up because she likes when you talk to her and call her anytime we needed her. 

It was later i noticed she was not what i thought of her. she is the good opposite of it. she made me change my thinking towards her and since then i started learning to speak up in every of my classes and my remaining stay in her class was really fun. I had no problem communicating with her since i knew where the problem was coming from. 

As a result, if i put into practice the perceptual process in my life it will make me better understand people also people will get to understand me too as well learn from me.

Put into practice

 I believe so much in self disclosure. I first learnt about self disclosure in my communication class that i took last semester. It was really helpful though it was challenging for me disclosing myself to others even though i did not want to but i had to try. I had to risk being vulnerable and being judged when i disclosed myself. some people gave good and bad comments while some kept it to themselves.

To my own understanding of Self-disclosure that was discussed in my passed communication class is a process of communication by which one person reveals information about himself or herself to other individual. The information can be descriptive or evaluative, and can include thoughts, feelings, aspirations, goals, failures, successes, fears, and dreams, as well as one's likes, dislikes, and favorites. Being authentic is an individual mission, since each person has their own way of being human, and consequently what is authentic will be different for each individual. Furthermore, personal authenticity is highly contextual, and depends on various social, political, religious and cultural characteristics. But the unique nature of each individual is best seen not in who he is, but in who he becomes, and becoming authentic is a continuous process, not an event. It involves not just knowing oneself, but also recognizing others and the mutual influence between individuals. I would like to discover my authentic self. So i can know what i am.

I don't really know what to say or write because this is my first time writing on a blog. I will just say little that i can because i don't like to talk about myself a lot mainly because i don't have one particular attitude it changes all the time. Even my friends don't really know much about me if you ask them who am i? They will say what they think not what they really know about me. so i will refer back home to tell you my little tales.

Back home my mother is my all in all. I cherish her so much that i could do and undo for her. she is doing more than what some both parents can't do. what i know for sure is that she does not show any vulnerability. she is so calm and easy going. But for me i don't know for sure if i do or not. i will just put that aside. There was a time my mum was in a very critical condition and i could not do any thing but just keep chatting on my phone. But when i could not bear it anymore i had to go stay with her and console her making her feel good again. Though i felt i was not doing what i had to do but i tried my best. As a result i don't know if my little effort was worth it because there was no much improvement. But i think if i was vulnerable it would have made situations easier to deal with.

Nevertheless, with my little experience, i believe i need little vulnerability in my life. Referring back to what the woman said about vulnerability. Her view states that it is about been courageous, having compassion and having connection. But she talks more about dating and relationships. Finally, i really want to know what i am capable of, what i like doing and how i can put things in order.
