My professor asked me and my classmates to write about our research projects and for us to explain the inpact the research project has on our life.
I engaged in this journal process to answer this research question: Can the “three good things” gratitude process have a positive impact on my well-being? My data suggests that the “three good things” intervention in my daily life resulted in as a positive impact on my well being. I could say that me applying it to my daily life, it made things a lot easier for me, and looking back on that week, I realized it helped ease my mind. When I say “when i looked back on that week,” I mean that we were given a assignment by my professor, and the goal of that assignment was for us to journal three good things that happened to us each day for a week. Then what we were supposed to do with the information was to write about how it impacted our well being. By the end of that week we should of had 21 journal entries with the way it impacted our well being in a positive way. My professor asked me and my classmates to write about the research project and to talk about what it means to me. I honestly couldnt tell you the struggle of writing this. I definally had a tough time deciding how to do research on three good things. I eventually got insight and began realizing what i needed to write and what i needed to research. My insight definally came from Jesus. He honestly has been the reason my three positive things has been helping me. He has been the one guiding me and keeping me away from all the negative stuff. Yes i didnt exactly include him in my research paper all that much but i would like everyone who reads this to know that Jesus is the reason ive been having such a positive week when doing the three positive things process. Every single one of us needs God. This world is a test and hes testing each and every one of you. If you read the bible and look at how the world is going today there are written prophecys that are actually happening in today's world. Everyone GOD IS REAL AND SO IS SATAN!!!! Everyone needs to open there eyes and ask Jesus into there hearts. You will be saved and be able to live in eternity with Jesus christ. The devil is a lier and he is trying to convince and trap human kind into the thinking of worldly ways. Hes trying to get people to join him and reject Christ. What we need to do is ask God to come into our lives and ask for his full forgiveness and believe that he died on the cross for our sins that he is our savior and he saved us with the blood of Jesus christ. Dont get caught up in the worldly ways. Hell is a real place and so is heaven. If you except Jesus into your heart as your lord and savior, I can gaurentee that Your life will be changed and you will automatically feel more positive and your eyes will be opened to a whole new world. please dont wait because nobody is promised a tomorrow. Do it for yourself right now. Cry out to Jesus even if you dont know what to say All you need to say is Jesus and he will show you what to say from there. Please it will be worth it in the long run.
First off I’m going to start this off with the fact that if you do positive things your life will nine times out of ten be better in that moment. I have expiereneced this techniqe multiple times. Yes not saying thus works for everyone, but would not you rather be positive over negative? Would not you rather have joy in your life over bitterness. Id say give this a try because you would feel a lot better in the long run. Imagine it this way, you feel like your having a awful week. You feel like everything is going completley wrong in your life. If you began to look back on the things that were bothering you and then took a look of some of the things you did that same day that may not have been that bad, maybe then you could feel alot better. What id do is record the three good things that happened to you that day, and then id also take the three bad things that happened and compare them. I would then analiyze those things and figure out ways to keep the bad out and keep the good in. At the end of the week you would have a whole jounral full of positive and negative things. My professor asked me and my classmates to write about our research project. The research project basically will be on the topic of The assignment Three good things. What that will be about is how that process has effected our life and that of in a positive way.
First off I have a idea of what id like to write for my research project. I don't want to give to much insight about it in my blog post because i believe that will be taking away the point of my research project. I will say that rthe three Good things assignment did help but i wouldnt say it came from that. I believe in something far more, much greater than that. I will be leaving it a mystery on the blog post because I would like to have more to say and more understanding about it on my research paper. The three good things come from something/someone. Please stay tuned to find out what this mystery will be. My professor asked me and my classmates to to link these links listed right here What is Positive Pyschology & Why Is it Important? (Positive Psychology Program), Greater Good in Action: Science-Based Practices for a Meaningful Life (UC Berkeley's Project Home Page), Three Good Things (Greater Good in Action) and for us to make a 7 day journal entry. He wanted us to list three good things that had happened to us and to write about it. So by the end of the week we should have 21 journal entry.

It was the night of september 9th,2013.(Fast forwarding to a day before) I couldn’t wait for my last period of class to end. It was septemeber 8th, 2013. It was around 2:05 PM. The bell rang and that was it. It was finally the weekend. I got on the school bus and went directly home. I got off the school bus and ran so fast home. I ran into my house and was super excited to leave to go to my bestfriends house for the weekend. You may ask why are you soooo excited to sleep at your friends house. Well I dont have a answer for you. Hahaha My grandmom goes “you have everything you need?” I say “YESSSSS.” We get in the navy blue buick regal car that they had at the time and go on our way to her house in prospect park. The whole reason I was staying at my friends house for the weekend was because they were going to the beach for there mini vacation away. They dropped me off and said “have a great time and be careful and dont get in any trouble.” I said, “I WONTTTT.” They gave me a hug and kiss and went on there way. My friend nicolette wasnt home yet because she had to walk home from school. She had left me a key so i could let her dog at the time out. I Let her puppy the pitbull out to go the bathroom, and then left to meet up with her. (cant rememeber the dogs name) As soon as we met up we ran into eachothers arms and gave eachother a huge hug!!! We couldnt wait to just be idiots together. Hahahaha We walk back to her house and once inside nicolette had to clean her house and do ALL the laundry, Including her dads… As she cleaning the house i ask her when will your dad be home? She said I dont know but i have to hurry up or he will be bitching at me about me not being done everything. A couple hours go by and her dad finally comes home from work. He goes Hey gingersnaps how are you? Missed you! I say hey im good how about you? He goes what do you girls want for dinner? Of course me and nicole say we want anthonys pizza. We want a pepperoni pizza with hotsauce on side. And wings. He goes okay well ill order it. Go pick your brother up from school. We leave her house to go get her brother johnny. We meet him at his school and hes so happy to see me. The thing about nicolette and johny is that they were more like my brother and sister then friend. We walk back to the house and we eat the food. It was super yummy!!! Nicolettes dad tells us he is going out for a little and will be later. Once her dad leaves me and nicole put on a movie and get in our pjs. We watched step brothers, 21 jump street, and Ted. Its around 1230Am and we are getting ready for bed. Nicolette falls asleep and im left awake on my phone. Its about 230 AM and i hear nicolettes dad come home. A couple minutes later He comes into her room and says kate i need to talk to you. I said well what about? He said come downstairs because i dont want to wake anyone up. My stupid young selfs thinks nothing of this and comes downstairs. He starts by asking me to sit on the sofa in the living room. He then sits next to me and starts asking me wierd questions like who do i trust and who do i tell everything to. Im thinking in my head, these are some strange questions but just answered them. I would never imagine what was about to happen next. He said lets go into the basement so we dont wake anyone up. My dumb self was like okay and walks to the basement. He starts by sitting next to me and rubbing my legs. He says you have very very soft legs. And im just feeling very uncomfortbale. Im like can you please not do that. He goes oh im sorry. He says ill be right back. I have heart burn i need a tums. Im like okay. He runs upstairs and comes back downstairs with a blanket and a candle. At that moment I went into total shock. I was scared because hes like 200 pounds in muscles, and i was only 14 so i was just so young and small. He shut the door and lights the candle. He then starts asking me more questions. He goes on asking about his daughter, my friends, and family. The he pushes me down and rips my pants off and im like what are you doing. He didnt accknoclegde what i had said and sticks his finger in my Vagina and im like stop. And then he covers my mouth so nobody will hear me scream. Then he pins me down and sticks a sock in my mouth and starts eating my vagina. I finally yelled as loud as i could and he stopped and told me if i ever tell anyone about this i would regret it. I walked upstairs and went back into my friends room and cried my eyes out. I didnt know what to do. I was so upset and scared. I wasnt going to tell her anything and had my heart set on not saying anything because of how scared i was. The next day nicollette could tell there was something wrong with me. She asked me a bunch of times and i had said im fine im fine. You could tell she didnt believe me but she took my word. She got into the shower and her dad comes into the room and says you didnt say anything to my daughter right? I said no in terror. He said where are your clothes from lastnight? Im going to wash them. I gave them to him and he left. Nicole comes into the room and goes, wheres my laundry? I go your dad is washing them. She goes my dad is washing my clothes… when did he ever do that. I'm like I don't know he just came in and grabbed them. She goes Kaitlin something is strange rn. You sure everything okay.

After they take me to the hospital for a rape kit. From there her dad gets sentensed and goes to jail. This day still lingers in my mind.
