There were many times this
expedition where I had to advocate for something. There was actually
one main reason for advocating all the times that I did. I have been
under a lot of stress this expedition and I needed some help getting
through it. First, I had a lot of math and I knew I was not
going to be able to finish all of it. Also, I have been stressed
out about my situation for after this semester. I will need to do
summer school if I chose to go to school next year. Also, I am
stressed about how things will go with my mom when I get home.
To take care of all these
problems I needed to advocate to talk to a counselor. Talking things
over and getting things off my chest really helped this expedition. I
was able to release my frustrations and even solve some of my
problems. This made doing daily activities a lot easier because I did
not have as much stuff on my mind.
First, talking about my
math really helped me break it down and understand what I need to get
done. I realized that I can do some of the work on base and I can do
some on the next expedition. It was really stressful but talking
about it helped me get over it and work my hardest.
Next, I was able to talk
about a plan for the summer. I talked about how my schedule seemed to
be full. I thought it over and realized that looking over my schedule
could open up some time for activities. I was also able to pick some
priorities for the summer. All of these actions seemed to relieve
some stress.
Finally, I talked a lot
about my relationship with my mom. I realized that it may be hard to
rebuild a good relationship with her and that caused a good amount of
stress. I talked it over and I came to the conclusion that I should
stay positive when talking to my mom instead of continuing to talk
about my frustrations. I think talking about this frustration really
helped on this expedition.
This expedition has been
the most important when it comes to advocating. I have found that
advocating can help you with almost any situation or problem.
