My score from the locus of control assignment
was a five, which means I have an internal locus of control. I would agree with
this assessment because I am very determined and aspirational, and my focus is
working hard to achieve my goals. I believe you should work as hard as you can
to reach your destination because that’s the way to improve yourself and get
you to your goal, so that you can begin a new dream. Having an internal locus
of control can backfire in negative situations, as I tend to take losses very
personally.

Journal Entry Six:
1)
My current situation with this problem is a
recurring injury I had. In ballet, like any other sport, when you injure
yourself you need to take enough time off to recover. I went back too soon,
when I thought I was fully recovered. One thing led to another, and then I had
to get surgery. I had done load of physical therapy, and then I switched physical
therapists and continued. My current struggle is that I need to motivate myself
to do my at home exercises.
2)
I would eventually like to get back to doing
what I love: ballet. I absolutely adore the feeling of being in the studio. It
just makes me feel at home. I don’t have as strong of a desire to be a
professional dancer as I used to, but I would like to teach at a studio and
definitely keep participating in it. I love watching, teaching and doing dance.
It’s a very rewarding experience, and definitely something I would like to
continue doing on the side of my latest endeavor.
3)
I think my choices are clearly set in front of
me. I show dedication by doing my home exercises, return to physical therapy
and really focus on regaining my strength. From there, I can return to teaching
my student and eventually to dancing. After that, wherever I go, I would like
to continue going to classes. I would like to remain a part, but not
all-encompassing part of my life. The other choice is to continue not doing my
exercises and leaving my ankle in the current situation it is. The longer I
leave it, the worse it will get.
4)
The first option would leave me with the positive
conclusion of resuming my passion, learning more, and teaching what I know to
the next generation. The second option wouldn’t change my current status
whatsoever, and things will remain the way they are now.
5)
I will chose the first option and completely
dedicate myself into fixing and returning to what I love. I watched a
documentary series about ballet today, and it really inspired me to go and get
back what I lost, and made me realize just how much I miss doing dance.
6)
My goal is to begin my plan starting this week.
I will get myself into a routine and working hard to get it done. If I return
to physical therapy within a month of me faithfully doing my exercises, then I
think I could get better in 4 months, maybe even less. And if I am able to go
back, then I’ll finish out the remainder of my plan for the rest of my life.
