Through having to deal with a professor who I consider to be one of the worst in the entire UA system I have learned a new meaning for the theory and application of professional behavior. What I find valuable about the goals of professional behavior is learning how to be civil with people from all walks of life. Even though I may not want to act professional towards some people, at times it is just better to swallow my pride. Some of the professional behavior skills I have developed include:
- Dealing with irrational people- Sometime the toes you step on might be connected to the ass you have to kiss the next day.
- Dealing with people with different beliefs - Since I have exited the Marine Corps I have really learned how to curb my desire to tell someone off because I don't agree with their beliefs.
Before attending college I would have disagreed with others in a very negative, unproductive way. Now I have become more willing to listen to what they have to say and also to evaluate their opinions and try to see their value, even if I don't agree with them.
