TWYH (the end)

This section of the story really showed me how people cope a lot differently dealing with situations. I’m glad that we touched upon this in class because before we talked I though, ‘Wow, Erin… is not healthy anymore.’ But it’s just that her way of coping and my way of coping are completely different. If my mother who is completely my support system died while I was away I would have done anything to get back home. I would not be able to stand in front of thousands of people and give a motivational speech about education. I’m glad we talked about this though because like Steve said in class, it’s just the way people cope with situations A lot of people who are big time workaholics dive into their work to cope with things and almost to help forget about things, but when I want to cope with something I like to talk to someone and get it out. For example, when my best friend died I needed my mom, I called in sick to work for the rest of the week and I just needed my time with friends and family. I wanted to talk about her and remember her, I didn’t want to go to work and try and forget about her while I waited on people. I think that I would have done a horrible job if I went in to work after she past away.
