I want to express my favorite chapter… Chapter number three, “ Giving an A”. This chapter touches my life drastically. I blame my mom for a lot. I feel like I trusted her with everything in my life and she let me down. She hurt me emotionally. Eight years later, my mom is doing better and seems to be getting her act together but I still cannot trust anything that she says or does. I finally had to say that “you can’t change someone” but this chapter proves me wrong. This chapter says, “however in the universe of possibility, you certainly can change people” (pg 50). I had to read this section over and over again just questioning myself about the word “change”. The relationship between my mom and I can change. I just need to open my mind and let it change. As it states in the book, “ An A radiates possibility through a family, a workplace, and a community, gaining strength, bringing joy and expression and a flowering of talent and productivity” (pg 52). I just need to think about giving her an A. I promise from now on I will change our relationship that we have.
Jodi,
That is very brave of you to bring up something so personal and dear to yourself. From what I learned from chapter two, try focusing on the possibilities of opportunities to improve your relationship with your mom. I know it is hard to do that when there was so many times your mom has hurt you. I wish you luck with your mom.
