Resilience by tricia morrison

I have written about my colorful childhood experiences and life’s journey from growing up in the ghettos of Jamaica to working at a bizarre kindergarten in Poland to some beautiful experiences in Berlin, in order to describe resilience. I used my knowledge from my education and my life to look back on how my experiences have formed me and how they have made me resilient. In each chapter, I point out lessons that I have learnt and my thoughts. The lessons provide readers with ways to use and find resilience in their own lives, while the thoughts provoke deep thinking and reflection where readers have the opportunity to develop their own opinions about the matters presented.

Sample text:

Preface

December 2017, I became officially unemployed so I decided that I would do freelance English teaching on a part-time basis. This automatically meant that I would be dependent on the German Government Social Assistance System to survive as I would not earn enough money to live off. This situation caused many emotions to engulf me but the most dominant of these emotions was a feeling of entrapment as I had declared myself independent of the social aid system two years previously. Therefore, I felt as if my life was regressing instead of progressing. This predicament forced me to question the very core of my existence.

Why did I leave Jamaica? Why have I studied for so many years? Why do I believe in God? What is the purpose of my life? The truth is I felt frustrated, angry, and pissed. I have always been a ‘good sport’, a model citizen in Jamaica, a good immigrant in Berlin, a hard worker, drug-free, disease free, helpful, hopeful, plus an active and contributing member of my community and society. To top it all off, I have done all that the German system requires in order for a person to become an integrated contributing member of the society. So what was happening and why did I feel stuck? One thing was for sure; I could not remain in a state of frustration and anger. This would have eventually led to a bunch of other negative emotions and complaints, which would definitely not bring assistance or move me forward. So I had to snap myself out of that state.
