Blog for today....i had a really good one and I forgot it!! So, off the cuff,
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST RISK. YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO? What does it take for you to be comfortable taking it?
Hey Colleagues,
ReplyDeleteTo be completely honest , this weekend was all getting out of my comfort zone, I attend the APTRA, which is a journalist camp for anchors, reporters and editors, it was so intense. We equipped 30 years of training to 2 days in 17 hour day worth of writing, reporting and anchoring breaking news!
I used to think I knew everything there was to know about sports journalism and broadcast news, but let me tell you this went beyond my expectations.
I was really shy and felt a discomfort because , to be quite honest I was the most over weight woman there! I was embressed and really felt like I didn't feel comfortable at all. I went through and pulled together, became aware of this opportunity I am at, and I truly became inspired.
All my mentors and faculty were rooting for me, I was astonished by the amount of gratitude and was overwhelmed by how many people knew of my work.
I kept thinking that after all the things I've done , finally I get to put in all the hard work towards this 14 hour day!
All my homework and late night blogging was all worth it! Journalism is a passion and I love it! Best advice I can do is do what you want and never let fear stop you from accomplishing your goals!

ReplyDeleteMy biggest risk is to speak my mind. I have many thoughts, but I am scared of rejection or being put down. Trying to get out of that comfort zone would be risk taking because I don't want to appear rude or have any negative feedback.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteThe biggest risk that I would like to take is to wear less make up. It's really weird because on the weekends, when I'm chillin around my family or even when I go to the store out out to lunch, I have no issue not wearing any. But when it comes to people I see on a daily basis, I kind of feel like I would be judged. And I know it sounds absolutely CRAZY to even care about what other people think but I think that I use makeup not so much to disguise physical flaws, but personality/non-visible flaws as well. I could care less about what people think about my face. But something about being so "bare" is very vulnerable to me, almost as if people are seeing every imperfection that I have and every mistake that I have ever made in my life. With that being said, I think I've gotten really good at "seeming" calm and composed at all times. Makeup in a sense, reinforces this. I think overcoming this is an all or nothing sort of deal. One day, I'm really going to just say fuck it. But I think I have to work on being more vulnerable in general to really feel comfortable doing so.
The biggest risk that I would like to take is stepping out my shell. I tend stay inside my shell, meaning I'm quiet and I don't like the attention from other people.
ReplyDeletehello
ReplyDeleteThe biggest risk that I would like to take is be a famous English singer but I think is really risk to spend the time and thinking as job because English is second language and also the pronunciation is really important. In addition, I wanted to study art major. It is really risk for me as well because of financials problem. I scared to try and thinking to art major.
The biggest risk I would like to take is to get out of my comfort zone because I’m too quiet and shy to share my opinion. I’m an introvert and I want to get out of that zone. In the real world, I can’t be quiet all time because I have to reach out to people, and I need to be an extrovert sometimes to have that good communication skills. Also, I shouldn’t be scare of what others would think about me. In order for me to be comfortable taking it, I need to take a risk of going out or maybe travel more often to meet new people.
ReplyDeleteI strongly feel that the biggest risk i can take is the one where i put everything on the line. If I want to get my degree, and dream job, then I must prepare to risk it all trying to achieve that goal. The biggest rewards often require the largest risks, but we just have be smart about it. Know what the rewards can be and the sooner the better.
ReplyDeleteI also think speaking up for what you believe in can be a big risks. People will judge you and disapprove either way, but you need to say what you feel must be said.
I believe the biggest risk for me would be to go off to college on my own. I have never really been on my own for so long or too far away, but I know it is a risk worth taking because it will make me more independent and it will help me in the long run as an experience regardless of if it is a good one or a bad one. I know that even if I am far away from home I will have the support from my family and my friends. It will probably be one of the scariest decisions I make but hopefully the outcome is worth it.

The greatest risk for me to take would to become completely responsible of myself. Moving out of my house, choosing the correct people to share a home with (my best friend), paying or sharing the bills, working part time and going to school full time. Besides that accomplishing my transfer to a university in only 2 years and moving far away from my mother would be another risk.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest risk that I haven't had the chance to take are so many! I don't even know which topic I'm going to talk about however, the one I have in mind right now is the risk of confessing to my crush that I had for 3 years. I know it sounds silly and corny but to me, it's very troublesome that my mine won't stop thinking about my crush while I got some serious things going on to take care of. It will take me time and courage because I know I will get rejected. I can’t make it go away and I think the only way is getting rejected. But I think after I do it I will not have anymore questions and live with a peaceful mind. This is my biggest risk right now because I think if I could get myself to confessed to my crush I could over come anything for example my shyness and become a little braver.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest risk would be not caring what others think. I can't go anywhere if I don't feel good about the way I look. If I feel like shit, I'll straight up avoid everyone. I gotta learn how to not care about what others might think. This seemed to be an issue for me back in high school as there were times in where I'd leave home cause I simply didn't feel comfortable about my outfit. I would literally go home for that!

For me the biggest risk to take would be to put myself before others. I tend to care too much and so I always put my feelings and myself in general to the side which is something I've been struggling to change. I've noticed that through out my past I have harmed myself by having this bad habit, but something that I have barely learned to appreciate thanks to SOMEONE(Leslie) is that I have done great things because of this. For example, I have raised my brother and sister since a very young age and I always complained to my mom for not being responsible enough. However, I realized that I have chosen to be there for my brother and sister and to be that role model/support system for them and because of this they are growing to become smart, responsible, and happy kids. That, being said I just think that I need to learn how to balance when my help is needed and when I need to say now so that I am taken care of first. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have so many risks I would like to take. I really want to put myself out there, stop being so introverted, and talk to more people. It will be rather difficult to get to that place seeing that I get very drained after being around people for a few hours. I feel very awkward trying to talk to people because it feels very forced and unnatural at times. I also keep thinking that I'm most likely bugging this person and becoming annoying. So I keep conversations to a minimum at times. Just a few short exchanges. It will take awhile to get to a comfortable stage. I just gotta keep trying and hopefully it'll start to feel more natural.
ReplyDeleteI believe that one of the biggest risk for me would be to go to college on my own. Ever since elementary I have never been alone and always get the support of the teachers when ever I needed it. Know its all different cause there is nobody to help me, know I see it is a risk worth taking because it will make me more independent and it will help me prepare for what's ahead in the long run. I know that even if I am far away from home I will have the support from my family and my friends. It will be one of the scariest decisions I will make because I do not like being alone, but the outcome is worth it. and that degree would help me achieve lots of great things.
ReplyDeleteProbably the biggest risk I can take in the near future is moving out. I consider this to be a healthy decision for me, as I'd take advantage of the time I'd have all for myself. I could probably focus on school better and be more proactive towards the different projects I'm working on. On the other hand, I feel it's a risk because I have always had my family around me, for better or worse. Not only would I let go of them (which, the biggest loss would come from not seeing my little siblings as often as I do) but I would also have to figure things out economically. I'd probably have to get at least a part time job, a couple of roommates and find a more or less convenient location, as my current house is right in the middle of my other homes.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest risk that i would like to take would probably be somethinh as basic as learning how to drive. At this age, most of the people i know already own a car and i haven't even had the courage to get behind the wheel. Although, i've had many opportunities to learn how to drive because my friends and family have offered to teach me, i just have trouble believing in myself. For most people driving is nothing but fun, but in my case i feel like if i might never be comfortabke with getting behind the wheel.
ReplyDeletemy biggest risk will be dropping out of highschool n living on my own. Haven't a kid is not easy because I have to work n go to school. I feel sometime that don't have a lot of time with my daughter. Sometime I think what will be like if I didn't go to college n just work full-time. Then I think positive other people that couldn't got to college wish they were in my position.im working hard for my daughter to provide her a better life. Living on my own I would had to start a new life independent. I really use to living with my family and my mother helps me a lot.spending with my family is valuable. I need to learn on ny own one day.
ReplyDeleteHellooo(:
ReplyDeleteI would like to imput that my biggest risk that i would actually take is to put everything on the line with out looking back. I believe that maybe if i decide to put everything behind me, qllthe doubts, negativity etc, id be able to reach the epitome of success and tell every one that they could kiss my fat a$$. So yea point stated.
Hi fellow Price Scholars,
ReplyDeleteMy biggest risk I would take goes in accordance with my fashion. I know it isn't what most of you guys mention but this is one of my biggest risk I'm afraid to take.I really want to embrace the different types of styles and clothing but I'm afraid of what many mention, is to get judged. Those who often stand out mostly are the ones getting perceived as "weird" and "different". Although, my personally shows that I don't care what people think I kind of do . Nobody wants to be talked about among others . But lately, I been my true self. I love fashion and this can be demonstrated because I have two jobs in retail. I think my new job can allow me to actually dress how I truly want without being afraid, especially with my 40% discount. think my form of fashion demonstrates my individuality that's why I think I never wear my shirt. I'm glad I had supportive friends who support me along the way and help me feel secure along the way until I get the confidence of getting out my comfort zone.
My biggest risk would be speaking to people in order to network and later being a waste of time. In general it would be getting out of my comfort zone,but I'm already working on it. I think in order to accomplish this I would maybe have to learn through a class such as communications.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest risk is to go out to society with my degree and no being able to accomplish anything with it, because in high school and college you don't learn any social skills. This is really important because, if I'm going to spend 3-4 year on my degree, I want it to be worth it and provide a good life for my family. In order to accomplish this I would have to start taking classes that teach social skills, for example communications.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest risk I haven't taken yet is to speak my Mind when I need to. Many times I struggle to let people know about stuff that is required for them to do. I don't like to make people feel bad or obligated although it makes things more complicated for me since I do stuff I could have avoided. I would also like to start saying no to things so I don't over schedule
ReplyDeleteThe biggest risk I haven't taken yet is me join the military. I want to join the military because I want to travel and meet different people.this is the biggest right i want to take next year
ReplyDeleteOne of my biggest risks that I want to take is going to a diffrent place in the world because I haven't been anywhere besides Mexico. For me to be comfortable would be to go with my close friend and share that fear with her.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest risk is to travel in an airplane, I wanna be comfortable taking one to cook islands because I wanna travel there.
