happiness at work

HAPPINESS AT WORK

I am currently employed at Burger king i am not happy were i work.i work there because i need to independently take care of me and my son.i needed a job that have flexible hours and do not require much work because i have other responsibilities.if i was not picking up a check every two weeks i would never work there. i hate the uniform the hat covers my beautiful face and i cannot wear certain hair styles because of the hat.i do not like that customers take advantage and be very rude and disrespectful because they thing fast food workers are beneath average workers which is not true.if there were no fast food worker show would you eat when you just want to grab something? an every fast food restaurant's doesn't pay minimum wage,so some people get a decent check.i honestly do like my job i would rather stay home with my son but we have needs so i work. i am responsible and i have bills not many but  there still there.
The activity we did in class with meaning purpose and pleasure actually made me question myself about my future career i always wanted to be a mortiton for the money mostly but after researching their salary i think i might change my mind and look for a career that i will be happy in,something thing that i am passionate about .the activity we did in class help me conclude that i need to be in an environment were i can help someone,give advice,and talk.(i need to make a lot of money as well) so now i am going to do some research and see if i can find a career right for me were i can help someone and be there mentally.my partner Jessica suggested a councilor and that might be a good idea but not a school councilor maybe a drug or abuse councilor.what ever i do in life i have to make sure it fit me and i can make a good living.
I believe that happiness in work Will bring success in someones career it will also prevent wasting time. i am happy i thought of this now instead of twenty years later at least i will be happier at work with my future career (when i decide on one)

paper number one

 INTRO
The greatest dision that i have made is to challenge myself to control my emotions so that i can have happiness in education.I will chanllenge my emotions by directing my negative energy in a positive directions so that i can transform my feelings about school.A problem that i had been facing for a long time was dealing with my personal life situatuions and carring the emotions that they bring with me every were i go and let them interact in everything i do. Emotions are a mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and it often occur with physiological changes.
CHALLENGE
Some emotions that i am dealing with is overwhelmed and fear of completion.I feel that overwhelmed because i am a single mother,i work,and i attend school.It is taking a toll on me emotionally because i am determind to succssed at each job i have.sometimes those emotions interfere with my happiness in education because its hard to be happy in school when you are stressed at work.it is also very difficult to study,do homework and pay attention when you have a infant to care for.i have very good intentions to sucseed and become happy in education but many times my emotions get in the way.
SOLLUTION
Inorder to controll my emotions i have to find a way that can work for me.i have acepted that i am not superman and i will not be able to get every job done.what i will do is do my best at everything i do and work up to my speed .i can cut down some hours at work in order to have more free time.with that free time i can study more.instead of going to bed late i can go to sleep earlier so that i can wake up earlier to do homework.even though its hard sometimes i can cut down and our or two of play time with my son .i can put him on a schedual so that i will be able to get the proper rest so i can be attenetive at work and school.these changes can help me harnest that fact that i have a lot on my plate and get things done at a decent pace so that i can minimize my emotions to find happiness in education.
STRENGTHS
what will help me control my emotions so that i can have happiness in education is my determination and my son who motivates me.I am determind to be someone in life because i want whats best for me and my family.even in public school my teacher told me i take anishitive and that stuck with me threw college.if i want to have happiness in education i have to be determind because everything is not easy and having that edge that pushes me on when subjects get tough will get me through.even though my son takes alot of time out of my day he is what keeps me strong .without him i probably would have gave up on education.instead i look at him and see education optomisticly .it makes me think to get the highest level of education so that i can pass it on to him and he can experience the happiness of education earlier on.
SOLLUTION
to ensure that i remain determind and keep my motivation i will make sure i control my emotions.i will not let stress on my job or doing evrything with my son overwhelm me to the point that i donnot find happiness in education.

the tunnel of happiness in education

After twelve years of school i can finally agree that their is happiness in education.School has been a interesting journey for me.The beginning of the tunnel i love school because i took naps,played with toys,and ate snacks.Midway through is were i experinced traffic lights.i had a couple of stop signs a few teachers who pushed me and said go.i came across many hills were at times i felt up and times i felt down.one sign that stood out the most was the bright yellow sign that says STRAIGHT AHEAD that is the sign that keeps me going and reminds me never to stop learning.
for a long time i thought i did not like school but actually evaluating the situation i realized i do not like to fail.
math is one subject that i feel has always been a battle for me.i still have trouble with math to this day.math was always hard for me because i didnt really pay close attention.that is one subject that requires alot of effort science has always been an interesting subject for me.i enjoyed new experiments and it always kept me alert.school has its  pros and cons as everything eles in life.(pros-highly educated,better job,more knowledge,meeting new people,expressing yourself,build skill,learn how to excelll in life)(cons-FAILING,waking up early,school lunch,mean teachers,peer pressure,bullies,alot of work,phone calls home,not moving on to the next level) i make my ride smoother by excepting the fact that education is what i need in order to sucseed in my carea .i often tell myself i have a goal, i have to pass,if i dont want to fail i must work harded.If i am not satisified with the grades that i am reciving study more,get tutuoring,read more.
 being happy in education is significant because you will prosper more and faster no one wants to do something and be mad at the fact their doing it.thats when you will start to fail and thing negative of  education.you have to keep your eye on the prize.having a goal always keep me optomistic about education.There are people to help and the knowledge is their all i have to do is go for it and do not except failure as an option .
